FAQs

What type of makeup is this brush best for?

This brush is specifically designed for liquid and cream contour and bronzer formulas. It excels at precise application and blending of these types of products.

How does the angled head help with contouring?

The custom-cut, sloped angle of the brush head is designed to naturally follow the curves of your face, allowing for precise placement of contour products along the cheekbones, jawline, and temples for easy sculpting.

Is this brush suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, the brush features UltraPlush® synthetic bristles that are dermatologist tested and safe for sensitive skin.

Can I use this brush for powder products?

While it's optimized for creams and liquids, you might achieve a subtle effect with powder if you lightly tap the brush into the powder and apply with a gentle touch. However, for powder contouring, a dedicated powder brush is generally recommended.

How often should I clean my contour brush?

For best performance and hygiene, it is recommended to clean your brush after every use, especially when working with cream or liquid products to prevent buildup and maintain bristle integrity.

What does 'Cheek Hugging' mean in the product name?

The 'Cheek Hugging' refers to the brush head's design, which is shaped to closely follow and contour the natural curves of the cheekbone area for a seamless and sculpted finish.

Is this brush cruelty-free?

Yes, the Real Techniques Cheek Hugging Contour Brush is 100% vegan and cruelty-free.

Troubleshooting

Makeup application looks streaky or uneven.

Ensure the brush is clean and free of dried product. Try using a different blending motion, such as stippling or light buffing, and ensure the cream or liquid product is sufficiently blended before it sets.

Bristles are splayed or misshapen.

This often happens after washing if not dried properly. Gently reshape the bristles while damp and allow the brush to air dry completely. Avoid harsh brushing or storing the brush in a way that compresses the bristles.

Brush is not picking up enough product.

Ensure the product you are using is compatible (liquid/cream). For cream products, gently press the brush into the product. For liquid products, apply a small amount to the back of your hand first, then pick it up with the brush.

Pros and Cons

  • The angled head is effective for sculpting and defining.
  • Applies liquid and cream formulas smoothly.
  • Bristles are soft and suitable for sensitive skin.
  • Vegan and cruelty-free product.

Cons

  • May require practice for users unfamiliar with contouring brushes.
  • Primarily designed for contouring, not a multi-purpose face brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The brush is ready to use straight out of the packaging. Ensure it is clean before its first use.

Compatibility: This brush is designed to work best with liquid and cream-based makeup products such as contour creams, bronzers, and cream blushes.

Care: To maintain performance and hygiene:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, gently rinse the bristles with lukewarm water and a mild soap or brush cleanser.
  2. Lathering: Work the cleanser into a lather, focusing on removing makeup residue.
  3. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly until all soap residue is gone.
  4. Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water with a clean towel and reshape the bristles. Lay the brush flat or hang it bristles-down to air dry completely. Avoid standing brushes upright as this can damage the bristles or ferrule.
