REAL TECHNIQUES

Nicola and Samantha Chapman grew up watching the success of their aunt, who was a leading makeup artist in London and worked with stars like David Bowie and Princess Diana. Their mother also worked in makeup, always trying the latest trends and taking a creative approach to her appearance. The sisters were talented, creative, and aspired to follow in the footsteps of their successful aunt. After several years of training at a professional makeup school, Sam moved to London to pursue a career as a makeup artist. She worked with well-known brands: MAC, Estee Lauder, and Chanel. At the same time, Nic followed the same path but on her own. Soon, both gained a reputation as professional makeup artists and began collaborating. The girls worked excellently together, each bringing something unique. They managed to open a new dimension of mastery in makeup, even without realizing they were on the brink of something big. In 2011, the sisters launched the Real Techniques brush collection, and to this day, the brand is known worldwide.
