Real Technique Dupe brushes
Two favourite brushes
I was very sceptical about buying make up brushes form eBay or amazon, but I really couldn't afford to buy any Sigma, Zoeva or Real Techniques brushes.
Under £15 for 10 brushes isn't bad at all, so I took the risk and bought 2 sets of dupe brushes from eBay. The first set of brushes I bought were dupes of the Sigma brushes and I haven't got any brushes to compare these with, but I have been using them for a couple of weeks now and they are absolutely amazing quality for their price. There were 5 face brushes and 5 eye brushes in this collection and altogether they came in at under £15, which is incredible. They are all so soft and they have only shed one or two hairs, but all brushes do! I have washed them a couple of times as well and they wash really well an go back to their original shape with no problem what so ever. The only downside is they take an absolute age to dry. I washed them on Sunday morning and by Monday morning the face brushes were still a little damp, but they were still useable. I am not overly bothered by this at all, as long as they do their job to make me look a bit more presentable it's all cool! My favourite face brush is the foundation buffing brush as it applies my foundation evenly and is just so easy to use and really sets my foundation into place. You can get these brushes all over eBay and there are some that are more or less expensive, but I wanted mine to be form England so they would arrive quicker and they came within like 2 days of me ordering them, yayyy!! There was an option id either a silver or gold neck and I chose gold because I thought they would go best in my room? Yeah weird reason right, but whatever. I was half expecting them to break, especially because I have the worst luck and usually buy dodgy products, but they actually haven't been ruined...YET!
The other dupe brushes I bought from a different seller were the real techniques ones. The real ones aren't even that expensive, but I did buy 5 face brushes for £10ish and that is the cost of just one real techniques brush. I bought these in the blue colour as I know the real ones come in purple, gold and pink, so blue would be the best way to show that they are dupes. The seller did sell them in pink and gold though. I ma also really impressed with this set as they are soft and was really well. These brushes didn't take as long to dry as the other set. My favourite brush in this set is the pointy domed one (great description, I know), but I use this for blending in my concealer and it does a lovely job, I must say! These brushes haven't really shed at all, I did give the foundation one to my younger sister (which is standing solo in the picture), Natalie, as I didn't need two and she loves the brush.
In a previous post I stated that I have only been getting into make up for the past three years and I was never very wise about anything and I just did whatever looked okay at the time. But now I actually have to try to look presentable, and I do try and using brushes is the best way to get a flawless look. I only used to use a mousse foundation and had a separate brush for that, but since I have gotten into using liquid foundations, these brushes are just awesomeeee!

I would never have bought these brushes if I didn't research them first and I read reviews on the internet and watched YouTube videos first before I did anything. I am really happy with both sets of brushes and I would really recommend these to anyone who is starting out with make up or just cant afford the real brushes, because I have heard these are just as good quality and I couldn't fault them at all!
I did wash the brushes yesterday, but forgot to take pictures of them clean, which is why some of them have make up on, oops!
