Real Techniques Blush Brush - 014075

This Real Techniques Blush Brush is specifically designed for applying both cream and powder blush and bronzer products. Its tapered shape and soft bristles are ideal for defining cheeks and adding warmth.

To clean, wet the bristles with lukewarm water, apply a small amount of mild soap or brush cleanser, and gently swirl on your palm or a cleaning mat. Rinse thoroughly under running water until clean. Reshape the bristles and lay flat or hang upside down to air dry completely.

No, the Real Techniques Blush Brush features ultra-plush, synthetic taklon bristles, which are 100% cruelty-free.

'Pixel-perfect' refers to the brush's ability to blend makeup so smoothly and seamlessly that it looks flawless, even up close or under high-definition cameras and harsh lighting conditions, preventing any harsh lines or patchy areas.

While primarily designed for blush and bronzer, the tapered shape can be used for soft contouring, especially with powder products, by placing the product in the hollows of your cheeks and blending thoroughly. However, a dedicated contour brush might offer more precise application for sharper contours.

The pink handle is part of Real Techniques' color-coded system. Pink brushes are designated for 'finishing' steps, which include the application of powder, blush, and bronzer to complete your makeup look.

Ensure you are tapping off excess product before applying. Use light, circular motions to blend the product into the skin more thoroughly. For cream products, ensure the skin underneath is adequately prepped. Regular cleaning of the brush also prevents product buildup that can lead to streaking.

This often indicates product buildup. Clean your brush more frequently using a mild soap or dedicated brush cleanser. Ensure you rinse all soap out thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents or very hot water, which can damage the synthetic bristles.

A small amount of shedding can be normal, especially with new brushes. If shedding is continuous or excessive, ensure you are cleaning and drying the brush correctly (e.g., not soaking the ferrule, not drying bristles-upwards). If the problem persists, contact customer support for further assistance.
