Real Techniques Sculpting Brush

 The Product

The Sculpting Brush is one of the newest editions to the Real Techniques line.  Its narrow, angled cut makes it the perfect shape for contouring.  It's not nearly as narrow as the Flat Contour Brush in their new Bold Metals line, allowing for a much softer look.

The Function

If you're wanting the brush for multiple purposes, I think it would also work well for powder foundation.  It's a very dense brush and picks up more than enough product... sometimes a little too much!  You may want to use a light hand with it until you get used to it.

The Style

This brush, along with several others such as the Blush, Stippling, and Expert Face Brush from Real Techniques, has a wide handle that flairs out at the bottom allowing you to stand it upright on your vanity.  While this may pose a problem depending on how you store your brushes, I personally like the idea of being able to put my brushes down without them getting dirty or depositing makeup on my vanity.  It doesn't affect the function of the brush, it's just personal preference.

The Bottom Line

As with all the other brushes in their main line, the Sculpting Brush is amazing quality and very reasonable.   It retails for $9.99 at Ulta, which is where I purchased mine.  Ulta always has buy one get one half off deals that you can combine with their coupons, so you could get it even cheaper if you're patient for a sale.  I would definitely recommend this brush whether you're just starting out or want a unique brush to add to your collection! Happy shopping!
