5 Favourite Brushes : Real Techniques, Charlotte Tilbury, Nars and more!


Apart from tons of makeup, every beauty addict will have countless brushes too! Today I am sharing my 5 favourite brushes and what products I use them with.


Real Techniques Expert Face Brush
Use it with Japonesque Luminous Foundation 

I recently finished my favourite D&G Perfect Matte foundation, so I have gone back to an old favourite Japonesque Lumious Foundation (post here). Real Techniques Expert Face brush is the best with this foundation. The dome shaped is short and dense, which buffs in foundation beautifully. But what special about this brush is it has two cut sides, so I can use the same brush to pat on concealers!
Charlotte Tilbury Powder & Sculpt Brush
Use it with Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Powder

Charlotte's tapered Power & Sculpt Brush is just the perfect size for me to dust on powder to set concealers & target the T zone. The handle of this brush has 4 cut sides so it won't roll on the dressing table! Genius! I use this brush with her super finely milled Airbrush Flawless Powder to control oils on my T zone.
Makeup Geek Stiff Domed Brush
Use it with Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette 

Makeup Geek Stiff Domed Brush is an affordable dupe to MAC 217 brush. I prefer the makeup geek brush, it is the right softness and stiffness to apply eyeshadow beautifully. I normally wear a wash of light colour all over my lids, nothing too crazy. I have been loving the Naked 3 Palette recently, the soft pink shades give lids a fresh natural look.
Nars Kabuki Artisan Yachiyo Brush
Use it with Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush

I have mentioned this combination in my Current Makeup Staples post before, and I am still loving it!!!
The Nars brush is just the perfect shape and size for my cheeks. It is so soft that it picks up the right amount of the Hourglass blush.
Sepohra Professional Powder Brush #48
Use it with Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder

Again, if you have been regular reader of my blog, this combination won't be a surprise. Have a compare the dent in the pan in my Current Makeup Staples post and the picture above! The dent has spread.... I just cannot get enough of this powder and with the Sephora brush, it has transformed the look of my makeup, just the lightest dust and it perfect EVERYTHING!! I couldn't live without this combo, I am tellin' ya!!!

Tuesday means... Steak night at Wetherspoon!

"Are you serious?" I know what you are thinking. Wetherspoon pubs have revamped their menu and food quality, but the price has stayed low.

Budget Buy: MUA nail polish in Natural Days

When I was in Superdrug to buy the Tiffany colours (NYC nail polishes  - check out my blog post here ), as the offer was 3 for 2 across all nail polishes, I picked up a MUA polish as my freebie. I saw this pastel baby pink colour in Natural Days. The colour looks really cute in the bottle.

Estee Lauder Enlighten Dark Spot Correcting Night Serum

Lately I have been obsessed with the Estee Lauder Enlighten Dark Spot Correcting Night Serum . In the past I tried the Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution, it was alright but I didn’t find the result that amazing. So when I got a sample of for this Estee Lauder Enlighten Serum, I didn’t have high hopes … But how wrong I was! The sample bottle lasted me for two generous weeks and after that I rushed out to get the full size. Although it is called a serum, it is a light milky lotion texture, it is easily absorbed into skin and it feels moisturising. With the sample bottle, I used it every night after my cleansing routine. I can see visible results to my face after two weeks. My blemish marks are significantly lighter (my main concern) and the skin tone for the rest of my face is visibly more even.  Now I have the full size bottle (30ml, also available in 50ml size), I am going to follow the instructions to use it both day and night. Use it at night to reduce
