Real Techniques Powder Brush - 01401

The Real Techniques Powder Brush is highly versatile and works well with loose powder, pressed powder, mineral foundation, and for a sheer application of bronzer or body shimmer.

Wet the bristles with lukewarm water, apply a gentle brush cleanser or mild soap, massage gently, rinse thoroughly, reshape the bristles, and stand the brush upright on its own base to air dry. It's recommended to clean it at least once a week.

The brush features ultra-plush, synthetic taklon bristles. These are hand-cut and are 100% cruelty-free, providing a soft and effective application experience.

While primarily designed for powders, its large domed shape might not be ideal for precise liquid foundation application. For optimal results with liquids, a dedicated liquid foundation brush is usually recommended.

The brush's unique design allows it to stand upright on its own. This feature is practical for convenient storage on your vanity and is especially beneficial for proper air-drying after cleaning, as it prevents water from collecting in the ferrule.

Yes, the brush is designed with an extended, lightweight aluminum handle. This construction ensures it is both durable and comfortable to hold, providing ease of use during makeup application.

While the brush is quite large for precise highlighter application, you can use it for a very sheer, diffused highlight over larger areas like the décolletage or for an all-over luminous finish with a very fine shimmer powder. For targeted highlighting, a smaller, more precise brush is typically preferred.

This indicates product buildup. Clean the brush thoroughly using a gentle brush cleanser and lukewarm water, ensuring all product is rinsed out. Allow it to air dry completely standing upright.

Ensure you are tapping off excess product before applying. Apply powder in light, sweeping or buffing motions rather than pressing too hard. A dirty brush can also cause uneven application; clean if necessary.

A small amount of shedding, especially with new brushes, can be normal. If shedding is persistent or heavy, ensure you are cleaning and drying the brush correctly (especially avoiding soaking the ferrule). Contact customer support if the issue continues.

Check if the base of the handle is clean and free of product buildup or debris. Ensure you are placing it on a flat, stable surface. If the issue persists with normal usage, contact customer support.
