  • Hey guys!
    So in todays video I wanted to sit down with my big and EXPENSIVE makeup brush collection AND a much much smaller and reasonably priced collection and see if I could create the same makeup look on both sides of my face.
    SPOILER ALERT: I already know I can because there is a funny story that inspired all of this. I was forced to use only what I could pick up at Ulta about a month ago because I was traveling and left ALLLLL of my brushes back at home sweet home. As a result, I learned that as much as I LOVE makeup brushes and am always looking to collect some more, that maybe there is something to be said for getting your hands on what you can and MAKING IT WORK.
    Which is a lot easier than you think if you are willing to improve your skills instead of buying more stuff which as well know by now is kinda my shtick around here.
    So whether you have a massive makeup brush collection already and just want to try something new or if you are ballin on a budget and want to learn about some great affordable makeup brush options; THIS VIDEO IS FOR YOU.

If you DO want to go for jarring, would love to see a series of you transforming to different new aesthetics (goth, e-girl, drag style, etc.) and you discussing techniques you learned through it that could be Incorporated into your daily routine. Just thoughts though!

I'm not sure if Beautbean and Snitchery are pro-MUAs, but they would be great for different techniques too. All of these folks are entertaining and super smart.

    If you love Real Techniques brushes def try Eco Tools & NYX brushes! As an MUA I have a ton from all 3 brands and I prefer the less expensive options over a lot of my Nars/MUFE/ect brushes. I recommend the 3 flat top brush set from Eco Tools. Not only are they pink and cute but incredibly soft & great for buffing in foundation/concealer.

  • @dainapolchow4177

    As some one who has bought a sh!t ton of brushes, I definitely back up real technique brushes. I love how soft and user friendly they are. They work great with cream, liquid, and loose mineral makeup. I do see some spot lacking for smaller detailed brushes though (I have very hooded eyes and about half of their eye brushes are too big for what I prefer). But over all these are some of the best. Another great line of brushes are the profusion brushes. Especially their eye brushes as those are much smaller than the real technique brushes.

    I nearly dropped so much $ on complexion brushes on Black Friday, but managed to come to my senses. I use the RT complexion brushes and they are perfectly fine! I don't really enjoy the 'face makeup' element of my make up anyway, I love doing eye makeup so I had already invested in some better brushes there last year (and even then, there are some random eyeshadow brushes that came from who knows where that I've had for what feels like FOREVER that I just irreplaceable to me). I'm so glad I didn't waste so much money on replacing something that didn't need replacing - if I did need to replace them, it would just be a straight repurchase. Thanks for the video. ❤

    I think the best lesson I learned when coming into makeup brushes is buy brushes that fit your eye shape I would say I have a good size portion of lid space however my eyes are small and hooded so find brushes the fit that can be sometimes difficult at some points given what type I’m looking for but that’s my advice to those who are starting out 💖💖

  • @hallievanoutryve3109
    @hallievanoutryve3109 4 года назад +9

    Hindash is a super glam make up artist, but he doesn’t use tons of concealer/foundation. He lives in Dubai, so it’s a slightly different style than we are used to in the US.
    I second the recommendation for Kennie JD, even if it doesn’t inspire you, you will stay for the Bad Movies and a Beat ( it is so funny)!

    @anni4524 4 года назад +26

    Just some additional pros and cons you might want to think about if you consider buying the real techniques brushes after watching this video (I had mine for several years and this is what I learned):
    Pros:
    - the brush part held up super well, they don't shed or changed shape
    - easy to differentiate from other brushes due to the colored handles
    Cons:
    - the rubbery part of the handle gets sticky over the time and neither soap/water/shampoo or alcohol helps getting rid of it. If you've got a solution for this, please let me know :( but on a positive note, their newer brushes don't have this rubbery part anymore, so make sure to get the newer ones if possible. :)
    - some brushes get bigger on the bottom of the handle and it's pretty annoying to store them because of this. The good news though: this also seems to be fixed with their newer brushes! :)
    - even though the colored handle is nice to differentiate them from other brushes, it bothered me over time as I now prefer a more calm and cohesive aesthetic when it comes to my vanity
    To sum up, if you get the newer ones, they barely have any downsides. So, if you are in need of new brushes, their newer ones are definitely worth trying! :)
    Hope it helps some of you to decide- happy holidays and stay healthy! ❤️

      @@vulpeadejad7523 just cleaned them tonight with dish soap (on an abrasive sponge as Marissa T. suggested here in the comments) but it didn't work either. But I've noticed that at some of my brushes the rubbery coating is completely worn off, so I probably just need to use them even more until the rubbery part comes off. 😂😅 I'll probably skip paint as I currently only own water-soluble paint. Maybe I should search the internet for some more tips, as I couldn't imagine being the only one with this problem.

    As a newbie beauty person, a few years ago I went straight for real techniques and rarely have the urge or need to stray and try other things. I tend to be disappointed when I do. Real techniques brushes are so well made and easy to maintain and use with multiple textures. They are also so soft and really affordable!!! I’ve tried the makeup geek eye brushes in the past and they were so scratchy they made my eyes irritated and itchy for a day or two after. Real techniques for the win!

    I, much like you, have hundreds of brushes, but I have easily managed a full face on even less than this. I use my foundation brush for the contour, cream blush and bronzer and the powder brush for all powder including bronze, blush and face powder. The expert face brush and their small buffer I use for concealer are probably my favourite RT brushes. When I used to travel (obviously not these days!!) I would never take my WG or any of my expensive ones, I would always take my RT or morphe ones. But in the uk I find RT are pretty expensive for drugstore brushes. They’re nice don’t get me wrong, but elf, morphe, (I find the collabs the best) even wet and wild do some great brushes that work out better value and as good a quality when it comes to some of them.

    Today, I did my entire base, because I wear cream cheeks with my foundation brush and my fingers (the only way I can control the highlight)... this minimalist thing is so doable- and as an added bonus, everything g melded together and it looks very SKIN.

    Next time you use your inglot liner try this little trick...mix a little of your liner with inglot's duraline. The liner glides on like a dream! Learned that one from Jaime French here on RUclips.

    I loved this makeup look and I didn’t even notice any "mistakes", but I know we're harder on ourselves. I need new brushes, so thank you for the tips! Have a great holiday! 💜

    I'm hella basic and all I use is those brushes that came with my 2 ABH palettes and the Naked honey, plus like 3 brushes I got from an ecotools set I got years ago. I mostly use cream face products and I believe in using your fingers to apply them so I have maybe like 7 brushes in total and I've never felt the need to get more.

      I’ve stopped it now but only because I have SO MANY brushes I never use one more than once in a look. Otherwise I would definitely still have the Jackson Pollock PJ pants

      Weird thing is I've been an MUA for 11 yrs... I have a ton of brushes especially Luxie, Real Techniques and Eco tools(their flat top 3 brush set is up there with my Nars/MUFE brushes) and still I do this sometimes. Im workin on it 😂

    I really enjoy my real techniques brushes. My only gripe with them is that the rubberized handle always ends up sticky and gross no matter what I do. I feel like I keep my makeup pretty clean so I don't know why that happens. My sets are from when they first came out so maybe they fixed the problem?

      Scott Barnes is so overrated. He is so expensive after his Vault I lost all respect for the dude & the palette that was $130 or w/e w 8 colors & 2 were black shades! Natasha does $129 like nobodies’ biz. The SB brushes are the best thing he’d done but I’d expect to pay MUCH LESS (eg under $100), for his set not $239USD I do use ev brush in the set except 1 I wish he had fan brush or another eye brush instead of the flimsy highlighter brush. I would not rebuy this brush set if I had all my makeup brushes go up smoke.

      Great brushes. I haven’t purchased any high-end brushes yet, but the real techniques brushes I’ve had for the past 2-3 years are still performing really well. The ones I got my mom about 3 years ago, before I started doing my own makeup, still perform wonderfully as well. Still soft, no shedding, the ferrel hasn’t come loose (I’ve had issues with those from other brands like ELF). Real Techniques and eco tools as well have nice, under $10, brushes.

    What do you think about doubled ended brushes? I always get confused with how I should be storing them. I like keeping my brushes in a cup but when it’s a double ended brush it’s like...one side gets smooshed in the cup??? So I personally hate them even though the idea is nice??

    I swear by Real Techniques brushes, especially the originally eye & face sets that I still have & use even though I now own Rephyr & Sonia G brushes. RT has some of my fave face brushes & detail eye brushes--the shapes & sizes are just perfect & I haven't found anything equivelant in "higher end" natural hair brushes. At least nothing I'm willing to pay for. I'm sure a $300 handmade Japanese brush is amazing but I don't get free stuff in PR & I have a real life budget.
