I'll happily admit that I don't like to spend too much money on my makeup brushes — but when you have brands such as Real Techniques, why would you? The Insta Pop Cheek Brush (£9) is one of the brand's newest launches, and I couldn't live without it. It's incredibly soft, picks up the perfect amount of pigment, and makes any blush application as easy as one, two, three. — Morgane Le Caer, assistant editor
