Hey guys,

      So I've recently decided to purchase the Real techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge, for the main reason that my Real Techniques Buffing Brush has decided it wants to shed its bristles all over my face.

     I've had the brush for only a few months, and it seems to be that whenever I try to use it, I end up having 50-odd bristles all over my face, which makes it impossible to get smooth skin. Every time I do a few buffing motions, I'd have to take my tweezers and remove all of the horrible bristles stuck to my face, and then reuse the brush to buff everything back into place. Completely useless and time wasting!

I chose the sponge because I'm getting more into thick coverage foundations now that it's becoming autumn and winter, and heard that using a sponge makes it easier and gives much better coverage.

     I've heard so much about the Beauty Blender, but at £16, really did not want to spend all of that money on a sponge. So, I found the next best thing!

     The Real Techniques sponge is supposed to be an amazing dupe for the Beauty Blender, and at £5.99, it's less than half the price! I purchased mine from my local Boots drugstore, but you can pretty much purchase it in every drugstore in the UK and the US.

     Above is my first impression on the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. And the foundation that I'm using is the Rimmel Clean Finish foundation, which is a pretty thick consistency.

I've been huge fan of make-up for a very long time, and have been doing a few make-up tutorials on YouTube. I like to experiment with different shade, and palettes, so I know what is a great look before I did a tutorial.

     I love Taylor Swift's makeup, and she always looks flawless, but looks as though she does minimal effort , which I think is great! I decided to try out some products that I've either had for a long time, or new products, and incorporate that into a new makeup tutorial. I used this tutorial to my advantage because I am fair skinned, and so is she, so knew I had an advantage and it would more or less suit my skin tone.

     All of the products that I used are my own and have worked amazingly for my skin, and here are the products and brushes I used to create this look:

Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in Light Porcelain

Rimmel Clean Finish Foundation in Ivory

Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown

Dainty Doll Eyeshadow Base

I feel as though I pulled off the look very well, and captured her technique greatly. Have a look at the video, and see if you want to have a go!
