in my other post i've said that after trying real techniques travel sizes brush, i became interested in their brushes. so far i don't feel the need of their brush set, but i was interested in their 3 in 1 brush. i bought all three of them because i couldn't pick which one i don't need, so i picked them all. i've talked about their contour brush, so now let's about the custom cheek.
this is the description on the website: customize your blush with a click. customize your makeup with a simple click. ultra plush synthetic bristles. cruelty free, easy to clean. 3-in-1 for a custom finish. custom cheek provides your choice of sheer to full coverage at the ease of a click.
max - focused application for a pop of color on apple of cheeks.
mid - medium application for a natural flush blush.
min - sheer coverage for a translucent kiss of color.
fully retractable for storage and on the go ease. use with cream, liquid, or powder blush and cream, liquid, or powder highlighter.

the packaging: it comes in a plastic box. there's description at the back in english. at front, it's transparent so you can see the brush from the outside. real techniques color coded their brushes, pink is for cheek, orange for complexion, and purple for eyes. since this is a cheek brush, there's a pink label marked "cheek" at the top. the handle is pink as well, but this time it's gradient with orange. usually it would be full pink. there's a slider on the side as well so you can adjust the brush according your need. min for sheer application and the brush will be all out. while max means focus application so only a small part of the brush will appear. the brush is placed in a plastic slider inside the box.

| how the brush looks like when it's fully retractable |
the product: the brush is as big as the contour one. the slider works well too. the bristles is soft as well. but it's not as strong as the contour one. some bristles shed at first, but after that, nothing, no more shedding. this brush has tapered end so it looks a bit pointy. it's dual color as well but it doesn't mean it's a duo fibre one. i forgot to mention that this brush is fully retractable so you can bring it with you while travelling.

| left: mid setting right: max setting |
the result: i've tried all modes from this brush. i use the min mode for my blushes. usually with powder blush, but somehow i'm not accustomed yet to the tapered end. it's a little weird so i still prefer my old blush brush to apply my powder blush. i usually use the mid setting for my liquid or cream blush. unfortunately, both my liquid and cream blushes are not that pigmented, so using the mid setting helps the blush shows up more. for cream and liquid blushes, it works well. it spreads the product well without any blotchiness. i use the max setting for highlighter, both powder and cream, and it works well too. i can use it to highlight my cheekbones and nose without any problem. though for cream product, i have to tap it instead of just drag it on my face.
i'm on the fence about this brush. i do like how i can use this with several products, cream and powder blushes and also highlighters. but for powder blush, i'm still not used to the tapered shape. plus the bristles shed a bit. other than that, this brush works for me. i just need to keep playing with it. if you're a beginner and don't want to spend your money for a lot of brushes, then this is a good option. you can get a blush brush and a highlighter brush in altogether. not to mention that it's good for both powder and cream products. i definitely didn't regret it.
