REAL TECHNIQUES Mini Travel Duo, 2 Piece Set: Multi, Dome-shaped, Synthetic, Cruelty Free, Vegan Makeup Brush Set

I have been buying this particular foundation brush for a few years now. It fits into any size makeup pouch, it is very easy to hold and use, the brush is just the right size and the fibers tight so that foundation goes on easily and smoothly. Once a month I rinse it under warm running water with a little soap on my fingers and squeeze it dry with paper towel. Then I leave it near an open window for a few hours to make sure it is really dry.

The hair kept falling out. I needed to return. Usually real techniques is better than this.

Soft bristles, smooth finish — a touch of elegance in every stroke.”

Product reviewed: Mini Travel Duo This is so good for on-the-go touch-ups or when you need to pack light for a weekend trip. The brush is short enough to be portable, yet still allowing for a good grip. The bristles are soft overall, but once in a while, especially if you do a dabbing motion, you can feel a tiny bit of poking in some areas. That doesn’t bother me much as the dense and soft bristles pick up product well and deposit them effectively. Cleaning of the brush is easy too and there was no bristle fallout in my experience. As for the sponge, it works well wet or dry (with powder). Considering this is marketed as a travel duo, it would make sense if there was a holder for the sponge for sanitary reasons, and to make it more travel friendly. Overall, this is really good value for money at $11.99 (price at the point of this review).
