REAL TECHNIQUES - BOLD METALS BRUSHES

Elegance is the word that comes to mind when I think of the Real Techniques Bold Metals brush collection. I've had these brushes since their initial release and I am a huge fan. Not only are they visually appealing, they are so brilliant to use to apply product that I feel that they make me look more visually appealing!

From L - R: 300 Tapered Blush Brush, 301 Flat Contour Brush, 200 Oval Shadow Brush, 202 Angled Liner Brush, 201 Pointed Crease Brush & 101 Triangle Foundation Brush

In my collection I have the following Bold Metals brushes:

- 101 Triangle Foundation Brush: the flat edge allows you to cover large areas, while the angled edges allow for seamless contouring around eyes and nose.

- 200 Oval Shadow Brush:  allows for all over lid application and flawless blending

- 201 Pointed Crease Brush: densely packed bristles allow for eye shadow application and the creation of endless smokey eyed looks.

- 202 Angled Liner Brush:  for close and smooth application of eyeliner

- 300 Tapered Blush Brush: for highlighting and sculpting across the cheeks

- 301 Flat Contour Brush: for creating brilliant highlights and shadows 

'Achieve a pixel perfect look and add some luxury to any makeup bag'.

User Friendly

Ladies take note, these brushes are weighted. Unlike other Real Techniques brushes, the Bold Metals brushes are light at the end and heavier towards the head of the brush which allows for greater control with application. It can take a little getting used to if you've never used weighted makeup brushes before.

What I really like about Real Techniques is that their brushes are all colour coded (e.g. gold for face, rose gold for definition, silver for eyes) which makes mastering the basics and the function of each brush a lot easier for newbies.

I find that the contour an blush brush live in my everyday kit! And I much prefer the eyeshadow brushes from this collection to any other Real Techniques eye shadow brushes. As for the triangle foundation brush, lets just say that I wouldn't miss it if something were to happen to it. I think I used it once and then never again. I'm just not big on using foundation brushes to apply foundation. Give me a buffing or a strippling brush any day! 

Accolades

Real Techniques pride their products on being 100% cruelty free, as brushes use synthetic bristles made from Takion.

Affordability & Retailers

You can purchase your own Bold Metals collection brushes from Real Techniques, Priceline or iHerb. Brush prices may vary depending on specific brushes and retailers so expect to pay anywhere betweeen $15.00 AUD to $60.00 AUD per brush. If that sounds a bit rich, never fear! Priceline generally have awesome 3 for 2 or twenty percent off sales, so keep a look out!

Final Verdict

I absolutely adore these brushes! I hope that Real Techniques will continue to expand their Bold Metal's range
