Why Hourglass Makeup Brushes Are the Top Choice Among Celebrities
In the realm of celebrity beauty routines, particularly in “get ready with me” videos, one makeup brand stands out prominently — Hourglass. Renowned for its innovative products, this brand has captured the attention of A-listers like Hailey Bieber and Sofia Richie-Grainge. However, it’s not just their widely celebrated Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balms or the highly sought-after Veil Hydrating Skin Tint that has charmed these stars; it’s the Hourglass makeup brushes that are consistently lauded for perfecting their looks.
With their delicate bristles and sophisticated design, these brushes, featuring stylish chocolate chrome handles, have woven themselves into the essential fabric of celebrity makeup routines. Hailey Bieber, in her TikTok beauty videos, frequently highlights the significance of Hourglass brushes, alongside other fans like Gracie Abrams and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. The seamless diffused finish they achieve is often attributed to these understated yet powerful tools.
Notably vegan and cruelty-free, Hourglass makeup brushes are crafted from premium-grade Taklon bristles that offer an unparalleled application experience. Having personally tested several of these brushes over recent months, I can confirm their durability and performance; they remain as pristine as they were on day one. Despite their luxury price point, the question remains: which Hourglass brushes are worth investing in? Below is a curated list for those looking to elevate their makeup application.
The Best Hourglass Makeup Brushes, Tried & Tested
1. Hourglass Veil Powder Brush
This dual-ended brush has garnered attention, especially from Hailey Bieber, who employs it to flawlessly blend her Rhode Peptide Glazing Fluid with foundation. Its fluffy design allows for a soft diffusion of makeup. The larger end is adept at applying powder, while the smaller end excels at precise placement, making it a versatile choice for both bronzer and highlighter. This brush’s multifunctionality makes it a top contender in any beauty enthusiast’s collection.
2. Hourglass Ambient Soft Glow Foundation Brush
If you’re deliberating on your first Hourglass makeup brush purchase, this foundation brush is a highly recommended choice. Its dense bristles allow for an effortless application of both cream and liquid bases, achieving a natural-looking finish.
