This brush excels in applying liquid and cream complexion products with precision and ease. Its design allows for varying levels of coverage and finish, from a sheer blend to full coverage.
Prepare Skin: After applying your preferred primer, dispense a small amount of foundation onto the back of your hand or directly onto your face.
Initial Blend: Apply foundation to the center of your face.
Blend Outward: Using the Hourglass Soft Glow Foundation Brush, gently blend the foundation outward towards the edges of your face. Use soft, circular, or sweeping motions.
Buffing for Finish: Gently buff the product into your skin using light, circular motions until the desired level of coverage and a seamless finish are achieved. This helps to melt the product into the skin.
Building Coverage: For areas requiring more coverage, such as redness or imperfections, use stippling motions (light dabbing or tapping) with the brush. Build coverage gradually until satisfied.
Load Product: For products like Vanish Blush Stick or Vanish Flash Highlighting Stick, first gently load a small amount of product onto the brush bristles.
Press and Blend: Press the loaded brush into your cheeks or desired areas. Then, gently blend out for a flawless and natural-looking finish. This technique ensures controlled placement and smooth diffusion.
The Hourglass Soft Glow Foundation Brush requires no complex setup; it's ready for immediate use. Proper compatibility and care ensure its longevity and performance.
Foundations: Optimized for Hourglass Ambient Soft Glow Foundation, but perfectly compatible with any liquid and cream complexion foundations.
Color Formulas: Can be effectively used with liquid or cream blush and highlighting sticks, such as Hourglass Vanish Blush Stick or Vanish Flash Highlighting Stick.
Not Recommended: This brush is designed for liquid and cream formulas and is generally not recommended for powder products, as it may not provide optimal application.
Maintaining the cleanliness of your brush is crucial for hygiene, optimal performance, and extending its lifespan. Follow these steps regularly:
Gentle Cleaning: Gently clean the bristles using a mild soap (such as a gentle face cleanser or brush-specific soap) and warm water. Avoid harsh detergents.
Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the bristles under warm running water, ensuring all soap residue is removed. Gently squeeze out excess water.
Reshape Bristles: Gently reshape the bristles to their original form.
Lay Flat to Dry: Lay the brush flat on a clean towel or drying rack. Avoid standing it upright, as water can seep into the ferrule (the metal part), loosening the glue over time. Allow it to air dry completely before next use.
