Soft and blends like a dream
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I only have cream blush and powder bronzer on in this pic but the brush is hands down the best affordable brush i have ever used, its fantastic at applying and blending out powder, cream, and liquid. Very soft and sturdy brush, well constructed lightweight design.

Nice brush
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very nice make up brush! I'm not the most experienced with contouring, but it's nice to finally have a brush that is exactly for that! The brush is soft and applies make up smoothly. I have not cleaned it yet.

Best Contour brush for professional results!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Real Techniques is a trusted brand in the market that offers the best quality makeup brushes and sponges. I have always purchased real techniques makeup brushes especially for foundation application and contouring. If you are looking for an affordable contour brush that performs like a professional makeup tool then this is the right fit for you! This cheek hugging contour brush is designed to sculpt the contours of your cheekbones and jawline without leaving harsh lines behind. The bristles on this brush are extremely soft and blend your makeup seamlessly. Whether you're using powder, cream or liquid products, this contour brush picks up and deposits makeup evenly. I highly recommend it!

not good at all
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i was very excited to try this product, as i am usually a big fan of real techniques products. they're usually pretty affordable and work well for the price. unfortunately, this brush is not the same case. it is probably one of the worst makeup tools i have ever used. the bristles are barely held into the base and every time i use it with any liquid products, the hairs constantly fall out. additionally, they are so weak, it just bends and flops all over the place when applying! since it has no rigidity to it, its extremely difficult to control. i really wanted to like this one though!!

MY FAVORITE BRUSH
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this brush! My contour glides so smoothly and effortlessly on my face now. Blending just so stunningly. This brand makes brushes that are easy to clean, and my grip is fine on them. I love the colors. One day I went to school, and my friend Randi yelled, "YOUR CONTOUR IS JUST STUNNING GIRL" then asked what I used to make it look so fabulous. I told her how I was testing out this brush. And I suggested it to her, I also bought her one for her birthday. Now she is my bestie

ok
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although I really had high hopes for this brush to be able to blend out my contour in a way that my round brushes just always seemed to mess up, this brush, unfortunately is not for me. The hairs are not very strongly attached to the brush, causing them to come out and kind of get stuck on my base, and I had to pick them off my face using tweezers.

Great for cream blushes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this blush brush, the contour is perfect for where I wear my blush on my cheekbones back to my hairline. The bristles are nice and sturdy, not too soft but not hard, which makes it perfect for a cream blush. It's easy to clean which makes it nice for long term use. The handle is metal with an almost matte feel that helps make it comfortable to use and hold.

obsessed is an understatement 🤎
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i've been using the real techniques cheek hugging contour brush and it makes sculpting so effortless. the angled shape literally hugs my cheekbones and fits right into the hollows without me having to overthink placement. it blends cream and powder contour super smoothly and doesn't leave any harsh lines. the bristles are soft but still actually dense enough to pick up product, and it diffuses everything in seconds. i love that i can build it up as a snatched glam look or keep it soft for everyday. also the handle feels sturdy and lightweight, which makes it easy to control, especially in a rush. if you struggle with contour looking muddy or patchy this brush does the work for you. definitely a new staple in my routine.

Good brush
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this free from influenster/real techniques to give an honest review. This brush is just the right weight, not too light or heavy. The bristles are soft. It blends well. It does, in fact, hug my cheek like the name suggests. The brush picks up the product and distributes it evenly.
