I would think the Ecotools bronzing brush is probably similar to the RT powder brush - both are fairly large and fluffy, but Ecotools is more affordable. I do like the stippling brush, it's just not something I use for liquid foundation, which I thought would be the primary use for it. It's pretty good for applying powder blush, but it's not the brush that I reach for because I have others that I think are softer and easier to work with. The only use I have for the stippling brush is wiping away eyeshadow fallout. I know that sounds fairly useless, but it's actually really effective because the top bristles are quite firm and sparse. It's like a broom across the face, lol. I was primarily disappointed because it's not as soft as say, the Blush, Multi Task, or Buffing brushes, it's quite small, it feels prickly on my skin when wet, it left a streaky finish when I used it with liquid foundation. But having said that, I believe it is a versatile brush and I do use it almost every day, but for a tangential purpose. If I didn't have more RT brushes that I loved more than the stippling, I'd probably be happier with it. Looking forward to your Ecotools review :)sleepandwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09916100256685023244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501277763592283146.post-86023055744590905332012-06-17T13:56:24.811+10:002012-06-17T13:56:24.811+10:00I'm placing an order for the RT Core Collectio...I'm placing an order for the RT Core Collection, the RT Stippling brush?, the Ecotools Bronzing brush and the Ecotools 6 piece eye brush set! I love my Ecotools blush brush to bits, it's amazing. And since I'm happy with it, I think I'll pass on the RT Blush brush, despite the rave reviews. If it doesn't blend as well as the Ecotools, I don't see the point of buying it. :S I'm curious about the RT Stippling brush- Essiebutton seems to adore it. Post reviewing my new Ecotools forthcoming! xCheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13673881223339957208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501277763592283146.post-54251751776133482872012-05-31T23:37:28.632+10:002012-05-31T23:37:28.632+10:00Is it the same blush brush in the set as it is on ...Is it the same blush brush in the set as it is on its own? I guess it would be, or at least very similar. I guess when you buy a brush set, there's a high chance you won't love or use at least 1-2 of the included brushes. The 5 brush set (the one with the mini kabuki) consists of pretty tiny brushes, so not sure if you'd be disappointed. You can check out the 5 brush set at Priceline physically to get an idea of their size. The Mineral Powder brush in the 5 set is incomparable to the RT Powder brush - the RT is about 4x larger, more bristles, more rounded (the Mineral Powder brush is somewhat flat and angled rather than fluffy and spherical at the top, possibly from the way it's been packaged). But if you're only going to set BB cream and concealer with loose powder, the Ecotools should be fine. I don't really use the RT Powder brush as I find it too large and I don't regularly set my face with powder (basically its only purpose, along with overall face/body bronzing). My favourite RT brushes are the Blush Brush (so soft, amazing tapered shape, can be used for powder and blush), Multi Task (looooveeee this one, I find it to be the ideal shape for blush/soft contouring, it is beautifully soft and feels lovely on the skin) and the Buffing Brush (similar to Expert Face, but better in my opinion). I guess go with what you've planned for the moment and if anything's lacking or you have lemmings for other brushes, you can always order again like you say :)sleepandwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09916100256685023244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501277763592283146.post-53153606337324161362012-05-30T17:09:30.012+10:002012-05-30T17:09:30.012+10:00I've got the Ecotools 5 brush set and the 6 br...I've got the Ecotools 5 brush set and the 6 brush set on my list, mostly because the blush brush alone is $6 and if I pay $4 more I can get the concealer brush, and a few others. I don't know if I'm being foolishly Asian or not. I've heard bad things about their eyeshadow brush from that set. The eye brush set isn't really a priority for me right now, as I don't wear enough eyeshadow regularly. I was going to get the RT Powder and Expert Face brushes but am only going to go with the Expert Face brush because the Ecotools 5 brush set includes a Mineral Powder brush and I'm only going to use the powder brush to set BB cream/concealer with loose powder. Am I doing the right thing? If I really need the eye brush set and the RT powder brush I could always order again, I guess. Shipping's only $6. :)Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13673881223339957208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501277763592283146.post-44513037880931230382012-05-24T23:37:23.583+10:002012-05-24T23:37:23.583+10:00Do you have any particular recs?

I don't have many Ecotools brushes, namely the 5 brush set, the eye brush set, and some Alicia Silverstone set that I mention here (okay, so that's pretty substantial :p). I guess getting the combo right is a lot about your makeup needs. I rely on RT basically for my face (i.e. foundation base and blush/highlighter). Eye brushes I have are pretty random, I'm still sticking with the Sportsgirl for the most part, but there's this blending brush (known bizarrely as the highlight brush) in one of the Ecotools sets which is amazing :)sleepandwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09916100256685023244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501277763592283146.post-4187086412528430122012-05-23T20:40:29.571+10:002012-05-23T20:40:29.571+10:00Could you do a brush collection with more/detailed...Could you do a brush collection with more/detailed photos? I'm comparing Real Techniques and Ecotools online to try and get my brush combination right based on reviews, and photos of the brushes you use would be helpful. xCheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13673881223339957208noreply@blogger.com
