With constant makeup application comes the need for high-quality tools to get the perfect look. And though it's great to invest in luxury brushes and tools, it can get expensive to keep buying the high-end versions. But Real Techniques has made amazing makeup application tools accessible at the drugstore price point. Sisters and founders Sam and Nic Chapman used their extensive knowledge as beauty industry veterans to start up a joint YouTube channel that then helped them launch their brand.
The brand's Miracle Complexion Sponge ($8) is known as the best drugstore alternative to the Beautyblender. It's perfectly porous and plump to effortlessly blend out your makeup. The pointy end gets all of the hard-to-reach parts of your makeup, like your inner corner, and the flat side is great for baking with powder and blending out the wider parts of your face.
