I've been using the same brand to buy makeup brushes from for a while now almost 3 years so I decided to branch out and have a look at other brands, I spotted Studio London in my local Superdrug and picked up a set of four brushes in there sale for £1.99 which is a massive bargain considering they are around £10-£12 normally.

Beauty | How I Wash My Makeup Brushes
Washing brushes can be a tedious and annoying job but it's one that is a must to keep brushes clean and to prevent breakouts. I do a really simple and quick method that is super quick and super easy to do whilst leaving the brushes looking good and clean.
Beauty - Superdrug Make Up Brushes Review
I'm always needing new brushes and as most brands have expensive brushes I'm always on the look out for affordable ones to use. I normally go for Primark but my local store is having a refurb and I needed some ones so I opted for Superdrug's own brand ones and was pleasantly surprised.
At just £2.99 there just as good as the more expensive ones and look great as well, I picked up a bronzer brush and a blusher one to use as a highlighter brush. The design is sleek and looks great in my make up case with a matte black handle that is easy to hold and a cute and simply silver grip the brushes look and feel more high end then high street.

High Street Vs. Fashion - Brushes
Makeup brushes are essential to getting the right look and there are quite a few to choose from today I'll be looking at Primark's and Real Techniques. I'll be rating them out of 5 points and seeing who wins at the end!
Cost
Primark brushes cost a very small price tag of £1.50 and Real Techniques are price at around £9. Over all Primark wins as there is a massive price difference.
Packaging
Primark brushes comes in a plastic packet and Real Techniques comes in a clear box. I much prefer the Real Techniques packaging due to the fact is more secure and looks loads better.
Performance
The Primark brushes work really well they blend great and don't leave brush marks as well as not losing bristles, the same can be said about Real Techniques! So this one is very hard but I do prefer the feel of Primarks brushes there a lot softer.
Design
Real Techniques have long easy to use design with different colours for all the different brushes and they have there logo on the side of each brush. Primark have the same black and silver design for all there brushes which lets it down a lot. The top of the brushes have really soft bristles and make them a lot nicer to use which is on both brushes. I much prefer the look of Real Techniques.
Collection
Primark have around 4 brushes to choice from and Real Techniques have around 10-15 to chose from so it has a rather large collection compared to Primark.
So overall it turned out Real Techniques is better then Primark brushes!

Primark Make Up Brushes Review
Whenever I go to Primark I usually just have a look at the clothes or home section, but I was on the hunt for some new make up brushes and didn't want to pay to much for them. The first thing I noticed was they have a lovely pink end and they are quite small which is ideal as I don't have a massive make up bag.
I picked up a blusher brush and a foundation/concealer brush both priced at £1.50. Once I had taken them out of the secure packaging, which is great if you don't want people touching your brushes before you used them! The top of the brush (the pink bit) is so soft and feel's amazing on my skin, the brush is sturdy and doesn't feel like it will break.
I use my blusher brush as a powder brush. It picks up the powder really well and spread's it over my face evenly, The end of the brush is quite large so I wouldn't use it as a blusher brush but for everyday powder I can't fault it.
I use my foundation and concealer brush with a liquid foundation and collection 2000 stick concealer the spread really evenly and the brushes are great for blending. I find I have to wash them every 2 week's or so, but when I do they clean up really well.
So for me I have finally found a make up brush set that I love, And for £1.50 I can't really go wrong!
Do you have any brush set's you can't live without? Let me know!
