New subscriber here. It is so refreshing to be able to see how something works for someone with a few more years behind their belt than the normal 20 something beauty guru. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos!
Thanks, Tamra! I figure, beyond our 20-somethings, we're just getting started! Beauty is forever and we're all beautiful :-D
Tfs for sharing. I love these types of reviews. They short, sweet, get straight to the point, AND are money saving!!! Thanks for doing all the leg work for us!
Anytime!! I love comparing things :-D It's a weird habit.
I love quick, get to the point reviews. It's great to not have to spend 15 minutes to hear the reviewers thoughts on a product.
Thank you! Keep it up!
Thanks, Melissa! Will do!
Now this is what I'm talking about..
I cant stop watching...EVERYTHING!
The brush strokes with the Artis are there because the brush is dirty. Maybe change soaps, even dish soaps, dawn will clean it, i saw on the site that you can use a little bit of Dawn. If my artis brush is dirty, it will be streaky, no way around it. DYou can also sprit some alcohol on them and wipe them on a microfibre cloth after each use if you don’t have their mousse. It was recommended by the artis ppl.
Yes! So grateful for this review. Just got an email from Ulta that had a similar brush from their brand in a set for $10. So many choices...
I just saw that Ulta kit! I may have to grab it in my holiday shopping.
I bought a brush for $3. Never used this type of brush before mostly apply foundation with my fingers or the sponge the powder foundation comes with. I like it and will continue to use.
I was just wondering if you ever did brush dupe videos, and here we are!
I love testing dupes!! I've got a new one to film - spoiler alert, I'm pretty sure the Flower Beauty powder is a dupe for my favorite Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish. I want to test it a few more times.
You can get the Artis brush clean if you use ordinary soap...the old-fashioned bar kind! Just moisten, work up a lather, then work it in and rinse off. And it will come up clean. I have one for my foundation and was a little miffed to see that happen, but good ol' soap works a treat. xx
I've been meaning to pick up a bar of soap!! :-D I'll try it - thanks, Cathy!!
I love oval brushes I just got to try out a set from fantcen they are so good I need to pick up the real techniques one for sure I like how big it is and that it's domed
I'm finding it to be a nice size. That dupe I got on Amazon from La Legure is similar but larger - and almost too large. The RT brush is a nice in-between size on the larger end of the scale.
I've been waiting for this review! I saw the Real Techniques brushes at Ulta a week or so ago. I bought my first (starter) paddle brush about a month ago from Sally Beauty Supply for $13.00. It's a little bit smaller that these brushes and is more of a teardrop shape. The pointed end is easy to get into the inner corners of my eyes and around my nose.
The first dupe I looked at here was the O WOW brush on Amazon - similar, teardrop with the pointed end. I like it but it's a little too small for all-over foundation. Not sure if that's the same as the one at Sally.
I don't know what the O WOW brush looks like but mine is def smaller than yours in the video. The head is 1-1/2" long and 1" wide at the widest point. The brand on the handle is "face secrets". It suits my needs but I don't use a brush for foundation application nearly as often as I use my beauty sponges. Love my Ulta and Real Techniques sponges! :) Have you tried hydrogen peroxide to clean your handle? Rubbing alcohol might work as well.
I bought a 10 peice mermaid set like your 62 dollar one for 13.59 on EBay and it has the eye shadow brushes with it , I love these brushes , the real techniques I found horrible to hold ,,,
Thank you Shelly , I love your channel
Thanks, Breanna! So far I think they’re all just preference in size and shape etc. because all of the ones I’ve tried apply foundation nicely!
Geek Out of Water absolutely!! With arthritis the eye shadow brushes are lovely to hold , take care ! I look forward to your next vid
I have yet to see a review that demonstrates to me that those Artis brushes are significantly better than other paddle blushes that cost less. The other thing I notice is that not too many youtubers are using them routinely on makeup application videos now that the initial craze died down. That RT brush looks pretty bulky to me. I don’t know. Once in a while I use that paddle brush that came in my Boxycharm, and it works just fine. Interesting comparison here though.
I do love that one from Boxycharm - it's a Crown brush! The RT definitely has some weight and bulk... I'm guessing intentionally, as none of my other paddle brushes have quite so much heft to them. May have been a conscious design choice for those that want a substantial feeling brush.
as a person who has bought the cheaper artis brushes and have bought now the Oval 8, Oval 7, Oval 6 and Oval 4, they don't compare at all. They soak up my expensive Lancôme and MUFE foundation. I use one pump and I get full coverage. While the craze died because they are ridiculously expensive and not for everyone, the quality of the brush did now. it is all on what you want to spend. I did buy the Real Techniques foundation blend and blurr, and it sucked up my formula. It was very good, but Artis still ranked top and I returned the RT brush.
Try using waterproof makeup remover to remover the makeup on the handle works for me
Very nice review on the brushes, I was thinking of getting the Artis brush too to compare of some I have. I even find some of those oval brushes in TJ Maxx, thanks for sharing have a good day :) love and blessings xoxo
My TJ Maxx almost always has some oval brushes! I don't regret having the Artis brush... it's nice to feel fancy sometimes. And I like having it for comparison's sake. But it's definitely not a must-have considering how good the dupes are.
I use the real technique for my tanning routine. Very good brush.
Hi Shelly! Love this review! I was wondering about the RT brush. I'm going to get this RT. I don't have any Artis, but I just got the one from Jouer that came with the foundation. If you get the foundation alone, it's $38. The brush alone is $24 but if you get both as a set it's $45. I opted for both. Even though I can't compare it with the Artis, I think it works nicely! xo
How do you like the Jouer foundation? My review will go up tomorrow, and... well I won't spoil it... but eeek.
I don't know if it's just because I find the Artis so much more luxurious and my brain is playing tricks, but it seemed to apply better than the RT. I'm probably just crazy 🙃
I think it does spread foundation more evenly more quickly - I can do a full face faster in a lot of cases with the Artis. It's hard for me to see a difference in the end result... but my eyes are getting bad, too! :-D
Geek Out of Water Haha don't I know it girl!
Hey Shelly I do like the quick format video but I am bummed too!! I look forward to your videos and wish they were an hour long everytime!!
D Sav me too she's fabulous
hehehe I try to stay under 20 mins or so but just wait... I think the ELF video that goes up later this week pushes 25 mins :-D
I have a small knockoff from China. I like it for concealer, but not foundation. I thought the flat brush was better than the domed for foundation? Thanks for the review.
I find the flat to be easier to maneuver but they all seem to apply foundations well.
I still love the brush we got in our Boxycharm a few months back! What I'm super curious about are the oval/real technique brushes for eye makeup. Have you tried any of those? I'm also really curious about the new blue line from real techniques so I know what I'm asking for this Christmas ;-)
I have a few of those eye ones (from that duo-chrome Moda kit that was at Walmart a while back - might still be there) but so far the eye brushes are just awkward on me!
First and most important question is do these real technique brushes come with a pad and a cleaner?? Second, have you tried the brushcraft line of brushes that are at the same price point as the real technique? And if so what do you think of the 7 compared to the elite and the real technique? Also have you found some alternative cleansing pad cleansing foam for your brushes? And just to throw this out there if anybody got disgusted with the Becca it brush or one brush you can get the ecotools sculpting face and body brush for 1299 and it's a million times better
I just bought the brush by itself. I didn't see any options with cleaner, though the cleaner I have at home is the Real Techniques cleaner. I haven't tried anything from Brushcraft yet but I will look for them!
Pur has a five-piece set of similar brushes at around the $35 price point. I wonder if those are comparable?
I bet they are. Almost every paddle brush I've tried has been totally fine, even up against the Artis. I love the Artis but I wouldn't buy it again just because others are so similar... unless I win the lottery or something! :)
Hmm... wondered about this since I saw it on their website last week when I was ordering a new expert face brush. Wish we Aussies got it at the US price equivalent though - that paddle brush you said was $20, for Aussies is $41 (which is about US $31.50)... but then my face brush was $17.25 (US $13.25) when for you it's under $10. The plain ole original complexion sponge - US $6, for us $12.30 (US $9.40). Plus there's shipping on top of that. Sucks big time. Back in the day I could order from the them and just pay the exchange equivalent rate but they've craftily changed that on their website and now the minute you say you need shipping to Oz, they shoot you over to our version of the site and the higher prices!! Still, at least it's cheaper than a local stockist (a Sephora/Ulta type store) where a single sponge is $17 & the expert face brush is $23 (US $13 & $17.60).
Wow such a big difference!! I'm counting the days until I can go back to Ireland again because all of the makeup there is cheaper than in the US. But yowza, Australia! It's still #1 on my bucket list to visit Australia some day!
Yeah, living here in Oz has it's advantages, but being in North Queensland where the shopping is limited and expensive, and weird weather (floods & cyclones) and bothersome animals (poisonous snakes, spiders & jellyfish) abound are not 3 of them. LOL.
I’ve never tried those type of brushes. I do use a brush often tho so I guess I’d prob like those too:)
The paddle brushes are my faves for foundation - though really all of my dupes apply it just as well. Some hold up to washing better than others. But otherwise I think it’s just preference in size, shape, weight etc.
Actually..the RTside looks lumpy and chalk white.the A07,looks like real skin from my view
hi, shelly! i would go with the less expensive one for sure. i can think of other things to spend the 42.00 on (about the price of the double wear - if i remember correctly. thanks for the info! ~k
Yes! That is some savvy shopping! :-D
What are you wearing on your eyes??? I love your eye look!!
Thanks!! It's one of the Rimmel Magnif'eyes eyeshadow palettes :)
It's a shame RT didn't make it less bulky so you could get around the inside eye area. Great review!
I was watching their demo video and I'm wondering if they just assume concealer goes up around there and you'd use a different brush. But I do take my foundation up into "the concealer zone" so I like a brush that can get around the contours.
Geek Out of Water I see, but I still think I'll pass because you did such a good job of showing how bulbous the brush head is. I don't go into the undereye, but I do like to cover the side of my nose near the inner eye corner. I have some dupes from the reseller Ross and for now I'll stick with them. Of course we never know what's on the horizon. 🌈💸😂
Great review! I guess if you never have the Artis brush you won’t know the difference - I bought the real techniques one 👍🏻
Yep I totally agree - and I don't think anyone's really missing out without the Artis brush.
Is it a better finish than a real techniques sponge??
I can't directly compare a sponge to a brush - mostly because they give totally different finishes just because they're different tools. I'd say quality-wise, they're equal. I get great longevity out of my RT sponges and the brush is holding up just as well. But whether one is better than the other depends on the foundation, since some foundations are better with a sponge or a brush.
Artis Brushes needed to be cleaned after each use. The brush didn't look clean when used and it will leave streaks if you don't clean it or have cleanser product build up inside of it.
I cleaned it prior to application, though the thumbnail photos and intro to the video were all filmed after I filmed the demo - so they're dirty in the intro but clean when I went to apply the product. That's as clean as my Artis gets; it's over a year old at this point.
I bought my Artist Elite Collection mirror finish oval 6 foundation brush when it was offered in a 3 piece set at QVC and after about 3 months the neck of the foundation brush broke 😱I was so angry as it was so expensive .. please be careful expensive doesn’t always equal to quality
Wow! I think I would go straight to Artis with a complaint! That is ridiculous! Honestly I like all of my dupes as much as the Artis. I keep it for comparisons like this but I wouldn't spend the money again. Wayne Goss brushes, on the other hand.... so worth it!
Great video. You’re too cute!
Thanks, Merrill!
