Real Techniques is a brand that I'm sure everyone has heard of. I bought
the core collection last year and to be honest, I wasn't blown away. I
just don't know why but I hate putting foundation on with a brush. My
face is always left with lines of foundation all over it and looking
really streaky - not a good look! I decided to give Real Techniques
another try and bought the Miracle Complexion Sponge at £5.99, which is a
good price for a Real Techniques product!
I've never used a sponge to apply my foundation before so I was quite
excited to try it out! I applied my usual foundation which is Rimmel's
Match Perfection. The sponge is super soft and it blends the foundation
into my skin so easily and I'm not left with that dreaded streaky look.
My skin looks softer and smoother. I almost felt like I was using a
different foundation because the results are so much better than they
would be if I was using my fingers. I also love apply my powder and
concealer with the sponge too! I know I'm going to keep on using this.
I
honestly didn't know what I'd expect with using a foundation sponge as I
didn't like the core collection from Real Techniques but the Miracle
Complexion sponge has well and truely won me over! At £5.99, I'd urge
you to just buy this sponge and leave the core collection unless you're a
makeup brush lover! Plus, brushes are so expensive and I personally
find them so awful to use. This is excellent value and the results are
amazing.
My only
problem is that I'll have to wash the sponge a lot and as a newbie to
makeup brushes/sponges, I need tips on how to wash them :) How do you
all wash your makeup brushes? Tell me in the comments below. What do you
all think of Real Techniques? x
