Real Techniques Dual-Ended Blush Brush — Cherry on Top RT104/RT105, Vegan UltraPlush for Cream, Liquid & Powder

The Real Techniques "It's All Blush" brush is a dual-ended, limited-edition applicator that blends liquid, cream, and powder blush for buildable, natural-looking cheek color.

This two-in-one cheek brush combines two custom-cut heads—an RT 104 tapered cheek side for liquid and cream formulas and an RT 105 rounded blush side for powders—so you can layer, blend, and diffuse color without switching tools. Built with UltraPlush synthetic bristles and a cruelty-free, vegan design, it’s crafted to lift product, distribute pigment evenly, and deliver a seamless finish whether you’re creating a soft daytime flush or a more sculpted look.

How does this brush handle different blush formulas?

The brush is engineered to work with creams, liquids, and powders by pairing a tapered, denser head with a fluffier powder side. Each tip has a shape and cut tailored to pickup and laydown specific textures so you can switch between formulas smoothly.

• RT 104 tapered cheek head: picks up and sheers out creams and liquids for a natural wash of color.
• RT 105 blush head: distributes powder evenly and helps build intensity without streaks.
• Synthetic UltraPlush bristles: resist product absorption for efficient application.
• Dual-ended design: reduces the need for multiple brushes while traveling.

Will it blend and diffuse contour or highlight as well as blush?

Yes—the brush heads are versatile enough to soften edges, diffuse contour, and blend highlights as well as apply blush. The tapered side excels at precision placement along cheek hollows while the rounder side buffs color outward for a seamless transition.

• Use the tapered 104 to place color or contour with control.
• Use the 105 to blend and buff for a feathered finish.
• Great for layering: cream base + powder top to extend wear and dimension.
• Custom-cut fibers help avoid patchiness and streaking.

How do I clean and care for this brush so it lasts?

Cleaning synthetic brushes is straightforward: a gentle brush cleanser or mild soap removes makeup and oils without damaging the fibers. Regular washing preserves bristle performance and prevents buildup that affects application.

• Use Real Techniques Brush + Sponge Cleansing Gel or mild soap with lukewarm water.
• Gently lather and rinse until water runs clear, reshape heads, and air-dry bristles flat or upright.
• Avoid soaking the ferrule for extended periods to protect the handle and glue.
• Clean weekly with frequent use; less often if used sporadically.

Who is this brush for? Anyone who wants one reliable tool to manage multiple blush textures—beginners who prefer fewer brushes, travelers who want compact kits, or makeup lovers who layer cream and powder. The design suits all skill levels and most face shapes, offering precision with the tapered head and buildable blending with the rounded side. Because it’s vegan, cruelty-free, and made with UltraPlush synthetic bristles, it’s also a good option for users seeking animal-friendly, sensitive-skin-friendly tools. Add it to a daily routine if you want to save space in your kit while maintaining professional-looking cheek color and seamless finishes.
