Soft and blends like a dream
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I only have cream blush and powder bronzer on in this pic but the brush is hands down the best affordable brush i have ever used, its fantastic at applying and blending out powder, cream, and liquid. Very soft and sturdy brush, well constructed lightweight design.

Nice brush
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very nice make up brush! I’m not the most experienced with contouring, but it’s nice to finally have a brush that is exactly for that! The brush is soft and applies make up smoothly. I have not cleaned it yet.

not good at all
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i was very excited to try this product, as i am usually a big fan of real techniques products. they’re usually pretty affordable and work well for the price. unfortunately, this brush is not the same case. it is probably one of the worst makeup tools i have ever used. the bristles are barely held into the base and every time i use it with any liquid products, the hairs constantly fall out. additionally, they are so weak, it just bends and flops all over the place when applying! since it has no rigidity to it, its extremely difficult to control. i really wanted to like this one though!!

Best Contour brush for professional results!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Real Techniques is a trusted brand in the market that offers the best quality makeup brushes and sponges. I have always purchased real techniques makeup brushes especially for foundation application and contouring. If you are looking for an affordable contour brush that performs like a professional makeup tool then this is the right fit for you! This cheek hugging contour brush is designed to sculpt the contours of your cheekbones and jawline without leaving harsh lines behind. The bristles on this brush are extremely soft and blend your makeup seamlessly. Whether you’re using powder, cream or liquid products, this contour brush picks up and deposits makeup evenly. I highly recommend it!

MY FAVORITE BRUSH
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this brush! My contour glides so smoothly and effortlessly on my face now. Blending just so stunningly. This brand makes brushes that are easy to clean, and my grip is fine on them. I love the colors. One day I went to school, and my friend Randi yelled, “YOUR CONTOUR IS JUST STUNNING GIRL” then asked what I used to make it look so fabulous. I told her how I was testing out this brush. And I suggested it to her, I also bought her one for her birthday. Now she is my bestie

Great for cream blushes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this blush brush, the contour is perfect for where I wear my blush on my cheekbones back to my hairline. The bristles are nice and sturdy, not too soft but not hard, which makes it perfect for a cream blush. It’s easy to clean which makes it nice for long term use. The handle is metal with an almost matte feel that helps make it comfortable to use and hold.

obsessed is an understatement 🤎
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i’ve been using the real techniques cheek hugging contour brush and it makes sculpting so effortless. the angled shape literally hugs my cheekbones and fits right into the hollows without me having to overthink placement. it blends cream and powder contour super smoothly and doesn’t leave any harsh lines. the bristles are soft but still actually dense enough to pick up product, and it diffuses everything in seconds. i love that i can build it up as a snatched glam look or keep it soft for everyday. also the handle feels sturdy and lightweight, which makes it easy to control, especially in a rush. if you struggle with contour looking muddy or patchy this brush does the work for you. definitely a new staple in my routine.

ok
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although I really had high hopes for this brush to be able to blend out my contour in a way that my round brushes just always seemed to mess up, this brush, unfortunately is not for me. The hairs are not very strongly attached to the brush, causing them to come out and kind of get stuck on my base, and I had to pick them off my face using tweezers.

Good brush
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this free from influenster/real techniques to give an honest review. This brush is just the right weight, not too light or heavy. The bristles are soft. It blends well. It does, in fact, hug my cheek like the name suggests. The brush picks up the product and distributes it evenly.

Great Quality Contour/Blush Brush
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly I really love this brush!! It’s pretty lightweight but still has some weight to it. Way higher quality than some other brushes. I’ve been using this brush nonstop for a month and it still looks so intact compared to the day I got it. The bristles are so so soft, it makes it relaxing to apply my contour or blush. When I want to place my blush places higher up on my cheeks I love to use this brush because it just places it so perfectly. The bristles pick up a lot of product and distributes it evenly. I highly recommend!

Precise application
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Real Techniques Cheek Hugging Contour Brush (RT458) The brush has angled, plush synthetic bristles that are great for bronzing or sculpting. It is okay to use with liquid or cream. This brush is vegan, cruelty-free, and dermatologist-tested, making it suitable for sensitive skin. The bristles fall in between fluffy and dense,a great brush when you want seamless but controlled placement. This brush has a nice weight to it and is easy to handle. The synthetic bristles are very soft and glide nicely along the face. I used cream bronzer with this brush, and it applied nicely without any harsh lines. It places product exactly where you want it and blends seamlessly. This brush allows you to be soft or dramatic depending on the amount of product you pick up. More than half of the brush picks up product nicely, while the shortest bristles at the back pick up less. My brush did have a slight indent on the side ,unsure if that is a one-off or standard. This Cheek Hugging Contour Brush does a lovely job applying product, and it comes at a nice price point.It is going on my vanity for regular use. I received this product complimentary in exchange for my honest opinion.

Amazing contour brush.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cheek hugging brush is the perfect blend between soft and firmness. The handle is thick and easy to hold, and I really like the finish. It feels durable and picks up makeup easily without product fallout. It also applies very smoothly! I used it to contour my upper cheekbones, and it worked wonderfully. I had no idea that I was misusing this brush from my life.

The brush literally hugs your cheekbone, making it great for beginners. The bristles are dense enough to blend out cream and liquid products seamlessly. It washes well and doesn’t shed. The handle is also lightweight and easy to control.

Effortless, natural contour every time!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The curved shape hugs my cheekbones perfectly, making contour application super easy and precise. The bristles are soft but dense, don’t shed and so it blends cream and powder products seamlessly without streaks. It gives a natural, sculpted look with minimal effort and feels high quality on the skin. Definitely a must-have for everyday makeup and beginners alike!

Good but not great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used other real techniques, brushes and applicators before and I’ve always really really like the brand but with this brush I just felt like it fell a little short. I wish it was a little more firm. My plan was to use it for either contour or blush, but I didn’t have the firmness that I needed to really blend. I felt like and it’s kind of like a chunkier angle brush so if I am using it wrong then that could be it too, but I just feel like some of their other brushes have been better quality.
