real techniques custom complexion brush 221

this is the last brush from the custom line collection that i bought. this is the only complexion brush in the collection. i always want to try their complexion brush as many people say that it's great. but i was tempted with this custom one. so i bought this one. i hope this is as god as the original complexion brush one.

this is the description from the website: customize your foundation with a click. customize your makeup with a simple click. ultra plush synthetic bristles, cruelty free, easy to clean. 3-in-1 for custom courage. custom complexion provides your choice of sheer to full coverage at the ease of a click.

fully retractable for storage and on the go ease. use with tinted moisturizer, foundation and concealer. 
the packaging
description at the back
the packaging: it comes in a plastic box that's transparent at front and has description at the back. you can see the brush from the outside. they color coded their brush, orange for face, pink for cheek, and purple for eyes. you can see the orange "face" label on top of the box. the brush is placed in a plastic slider so it's completely secured. the brush handle is completely orange, different from the other two cheek brushes that has gradient of pink and orange. on the side of the handle there's slider so you can adjust the head of the brush.

how the brush looks like when it's fully retractable
the product: there are three modes, min, mid and max. min means the head brush would be all out. mid means only half would come out. max means only a tiny bit comes out, and it would give the max coverage. the brush is really soft like the other two. however, it's also fragile. it shed quite a bit compared to the other two. this one is also completely retractable so you can bring it with you while travelling.
the min setting. look the brush is not as fluffy as the contour one
the max setting
the result: i only try the mid and max mode. i usually use sponge for my foundation, but lately i've been using tinted moisturizer, and the coverage is really low. that's why i've been trying to use it with the mid mode. it does help the coverage. it gives more than when i used it with sponge. and i used the max mode for concealer. it works well too. it doesn't leave streaks mark. but for concealer, i prefer tapping the brush to make sure it's all blended well. 
the mid setting
actually, this is the least favorite of mine. after using this regularly, i still prefer sponge over brush for my base makeup. mainly because it's easier. with brush, you have to check twice whether or not it's completely blended or leave streaks mark. but for minimal coverage products, it's better to use brush since sponge tends to absorb more product. but that doesn't mean this brush is not good. it's really good. i can blend tinted moisturizer as well as concealer with just this one brush. plus since it's fully retractable, it's more travel friendly. i guess you can pick this one up if you like using brush for your complexion. as for me, it's okay, but i still prefer my sponge for foundation.
