I absolutely love this brush! But I have to say, the reviews are surprising to me. This is a Stippling brush, NOT a buffing brush. If you want to use a brush and 'buff' in your foundation, there is a Buffing brush in the Core Collection.

As far as stippling (picking up a small amount of foundation with just the very tips of the white fibers and gently bouncing the brush over your skin repeatedly until the 'dots' overlap to form even, 'airbrushed' or 'pixelated' coverage) goes, this brush is wonderful.

Yes, it's smaller than say a MAC 187 or the ELF stippling brush, but I find that's helpful in terms of reaching areas on my face such as the sides of my nose or under my eyes that a larger brush is to big for. The compact size and shorter bristles also make a less 'floppy' brush, with better resistance. I don't find that it takes a long time to do my whole face.

I've used this brush with Revlon Colorstay aand Estee Lauder Double Wear and it works beautifully with both. Both these foundations dry quickly so I work one section at a time, layering until I reach the desired coverage. I'm able to achieve the same level of coverage as I could using my hands, but with an airbrushed, beautiful finish that doesn't look like I'm wearing heavy foundation. I also haven't noticed any shedding. I really love this brush and look forward to trying some of the other brushes/collections.

Like many other women, I was on youtube watching makeup videos and I saw so many people with stippling brushes so I decided to buy one. I had a stippling brush once by E.L.F. but I did not like it. The bristles were far too lose for me. It wasn't bad... I just prefer a brush with a little more thickness... And that E.L.F. brush was lacking. So I decided maybe a different brand would be better. Now, keep in mind that I have never really heard of this brand or seen anyone on youtube with this brush... I just looked up stippling brush on amazon and I loved the design & color so I took the chance and bought it. Let me tell you, I was so happy with this brush. It has just the right amount of thickness... Doesn't leave any annoying lines/streaks on my face from my liquid foundation. It buffs like a charm, ladies. I use a liquid foundation as well as a cream stick foundation and it blends so well.. Conceals...An incredible airbrushed look.. I threw all of my other brushes out.. This one exceeds..

I prefer this $10 brush over my $17 doller buffing brush form Sonia Kashuk. It makes your face look flawless i swear. If you uses it the CORRECT way, you face will look airbrushed foreal. I just spread my foundation in a VERY THIN layer on a clean suface (I use a little mirror). I dab the brush in the foundation, just the very tips of the bristles are covered. Then stipple on the face NOT BUFF, its not a buffing brush. Its gonna take a while but trust me, It's worth the extra effort!

Honest reviews on real Techniques Stippling Brush

Let me preface my review with this caveat: this is the only stippling brush I have ever owned. So I'm not an expert on how this is, compared to the zillion other stipplers out there.

I bought the Core Collection of Real Techniques brushes because I had read great things from others, It did not hurt that there was a sale on them to entice me to try them! From there I added several of their other brushes to my stash. With few exceptions I have been very, very happy with these brushes! I have mostly Smashbox and Laura Mercier brushes, with some Sephora and Ulta brushes in the mix.

This brush is the best brush I've found to apply the MAC Studio Fix Fluid foundation. If I'm going to use a brush, I prefer the stippler (mild to heavy coverage, depending on how you use it). I only stipple, I do not 'buff' with it after stippling like most of the Youtube Beauty Gurus do! If you have dry skin anywhere on your face, using this stippler to 'buff' is going to roughen up those areas and make them glaringly obvious. It's a little more firm and it will lift the dry areas easily.

For experimentation, I also used this with my NARS cream blush, and it looked great! It gave very precise application right where I put it. Since I did not have dry skin on that area of my face, I 'buffed' with the brush to blend the blush more and it looked very natural.

I have never had shedding in this brush, and I use it several times a week. I use MAC brush cleaner on it every time I use it (a wipe-on product) and I deep clean with brush shampoo once a week. This brush ALWAYS bounces back to the shape and texture that it started out with. You just can't go wrong with this one, and the price is hard to beat.

UPDATE: I just purchased (and returned) a MAC short Duo Fiber skunk stippler (from MAC so I know it's not fake) and it was not as nice as this brush. It was $42.00, and it left pieces of black hairs in my face. You know what people think when they see bits of black hairs on your face? Not, "Oh her makeup brush shed this morning!" no, no ladies, they see those and think, "Dayyyim she needs to pluck her whiskers!" It was bad enough to have my husband pick one out of my makeup as he asked, "Did you miss tweezing?" But when a customer leaned over and peered at my face as she reached for it, FORGET IT. The Real Techniques doesn't shed, it has a nice feel to it, it's very substantial and a smooth application. I've used it for foundation, liquid BB Cream, solid BB Cream (MAC brand), and cream blush. This is a lot of brush value for your money!

Great for layering and building coverage. Doesn't leave streaks or smudges. The only con is that it can be difficult to clean properly.
