Use a stippling, or duo-fibre brush, to achieve a sheer coverage – they’re perfect for working with dewy foundation formulas.

You need a foundation brush that doesn’t take up too much space in your handbag, and which will quickly tidy up your makeup without disturbing your careful contouring work. You carefully applied your base in the morning, but by 5pm your foundation has slipped – and happy hour awaits. Use the 402 Mini Setting Brush to dust on highlighting and setting powder for natural illuminations. From foundation to eye shadow and from cream blush to setting powder, accentuate your favourite features.

The Real Techniques High Shine Mini Brush Set brings you the gift of maximum glow with 4 mini-sized makeup brushes that are perfect for taking on the go.

Identical to its full-size sibling, but with a smaller handle, this rose-gold buffing brush beautifully builds a custom coverage without caking or creasing your foundation. Our favourite is the bareMinerals Original Powder Foundation Brush because its unique convex centre and silky soft brush head both help to provide an even and smooth finish. Using a mix of synthetic and natural bristles of varying length, the duo-fibre foundation brush evenly picks up, deposits and diffuses the product across the skin. The crimped bristles pick up just the right amount of powder for custom coverage and it’s easy to keep a firm grip when blending thanks to the tool’s chunky handle. Not only will it rid your tools of the nasties that cause acne, blackheads and skin irritations to appear, but it’ll help keep your foundation brush in tip-top condition, too.The brush gives a soft, streak-free finish that’s ideal for layering medium-to-full coverage foundation; it’s easy to build a little more foundation over areas of redness or hyperpigmentation that may need more coverage, and it also effortlessly blends your favourite foundation over concealer or colour corrector.

Just lightly dab the brush into the liquid foundation or powder, and blend out the product in a circular motion.And, unlike many stippling brushes, this brush’s bristles are molded into a sturdy paddle shape – instead of a circular shape – to help speed up blending and ensure a streak-free finish. With a beauty community of over five million, Real Techniques ® strives to inspire, educate, and empower our fans to make the most of their favourite products. The ultra-dense brush head makes easy work of blending cream and stick foundation – which is no easy feat – as well as traditional liquid formulas. The High Shine Set is the perfect travel-size makeup brush kit for your upcoming vacation or low-key getaway!
