Real Techniques Essential Foundation Brush

Real Techniques Essential Foundation Brush (comes in the Travel Essentials set) is ideal for applying concealer underneath the eye area. Flat paddle synthetic brushes are meant for applying liquid foundation in a painting motion; however, I rarely use this type of brush for its intended purpose because I find that other brushes (RT Buffing brush and RT Stippling brush) get the job done quicker. I mainly use the RT Essential Foundation brush for applying concealer underneath the eye area because the head of the brush is the perfect size for that kind of application. The bristles are dense and firm and provides excellent coverage without streaking when I apply the product in a tapping motion. I have over 10 flat paddle “foundation” brushes from various brands and the RT one is the one that I reach for the most. The size and the thickness of the brush head is just perfect! (It measures 6.25 inches in total length.)
