As its now back to school time for most students, make up routines will be tuned down either by personal choice or your school's choice. Even if your school isn't as strict with uniform and make up, i personally like wearing light make up because its so much easier and quicker to do whilst i'm half asleep on a morning. Plus, i like dressing up and doing my make up properly outside of school and feeling like you look nice for a special event or party where people notice a difference in your appearance instead of looking the same because of so much effort made in school time. At my school where i attend Collage, they are quiet strict with make up in the lower years so as i'm meant to be a "good influence", i don't tend to bother with many products on an average school day and this is where the new limited edition Real Technique Duo Fiber Brushes have become my best friends.
These brushes, made by Samantha Chapman, are designed to apply a light dusting of make up unlike some of the other Real Technique brushes such as their buffing brush which is more useful in fuller and heavier make up looks. The pack of 3 contains a large face brush, a contour brush and an eye brush and i use all 3 of them every morning!
The largest brush known as the "Duo Fiber Face Brush" is great for powder! It applies the perfect amount of powder, enough to stop shine and set any other make up without making your face look cakey, this brush is my favorite without a doubt out of the 3 brushes.
The Second brush down, is known as the "Duo Fiber Contour brush". I haven't actually used this brush for any contouring yet because i don't tend to contour for school and outside of school i have the other Real Techniques contour brush BUT i do really like this for highlighter, because it is really good at limiting the amount of product the brush picks up and so gives your face a slight subtle illumination.
The final brush, the "Duo Fiber Eye Brush" is honestly, my least favorite brush out of the 3. Whereas the other 2 brushes limit the amount of product picked up by the brush, i feel this brush picks up hardly any product and obviously makes it really hard too apply eye shadow. HOWEVER, it is really good for applying highlighter to the brow bone for a subtle shimmer and for blending eyeliner to soften it, so i have found some use for it.
Overall, these brushes are really good for school make up and even though i don't agree with how they perform some of the jobs they were made to do, i have found a use for each brush that it does well and works for me personally. Hope this found someone, anyone, helpful if they were thinking of buying these then i do recommend them because they are good and you never know, they might work for you?
