    Real Techniques, every single time! :)
  • Not a fan of any of the ELF brushes. Have bought a few and didn't like any of them.

    Yes RachRubyD, I would want platinum handle for the price of those brushes lol.

    I have the Real Techniques Blush Brush but I use it for Bronzer as I prefer a smaller brush for blush. I either use their contour brush or Elf's Studio Angled Blush Brush. On the whole, RT brushes are excellent. They do not shed and wash and dry easily.

    Search under real techniques, then seperate to health & beauty & buy both sets - that's what I did yesterday.

    I got something off ebay & the seller included a freebie brush, a real techniques copy which looked very similar but the brush quality was very poor. I was in Wilko recently & they have a range of brushes that look very similar to RT, felt very nice quality but no idea how they are in actual use,

    £7.17 for 5 brushes? Just had a look on amazon & i can't see that set of 5 brushes in a set, apart from the copy brushes for £8-10 (some do have nearly 5 star reviews). I think from the description on play, RT is mentioned in the title only & they're just called 'professional brushes' in the full info, i can't see the name on the handles either, they'll be copies. Sorry.

    I love elf brushes too, the powder brush is great but their blush brush is teeny! I use it for highlighting.
    Many thanks to all who contribute on MSE :)

    Re the price, I assumed it was a sale/clearance price. Look on hot deals uk, lots of crazy prices for sale/clearance/glitches items.
    I assumed play.com were a reputable bone fide company & wouldn't sell fakes.
