FAQs

Can I use this brush for foundation?

While the stippling technique can work for some foundations, this brush is specifically designed for the precise application of highlighters. Using it for foundation may not yield the desired coverage or finish.

How often should I clean my Hourglass Highlighter Brush?

It is recommended to clean the brush regularly, especially after each use with cream or liquid products. A deep clean every 1-2 weeks, depending on usage frequency, is advisable for optimal hygiene and performance.

Are the vegan fibers durable?

Yes, the innovative vegan fibers are designed for durability and to maintain their shape and performance over time with proper care and cleaning.

What is the difference between this and other Hourglass brushes?

The No. 16 Highlighter Brush is uniquely shaped as a fanned stippler, optimized for targeted and blendable highlighter application, differentiating it from brushes designed for foundation, blush, or eyeshadow.

Will this brush work with a very pigmented highlighter?

Yes, the brush's design allows for controlled pickup and deposit of even highly pigmented products, enabling you to build intensity gradually for a flawless look.

How do I store this brush?

Store the brush in a clean, dry place. Using a brush guard or keeping it in a makeup brush holder can help maintain the bristle shape and prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

Product not applying evenly

Ensure bristles are clean and free of old product. Try a different amount of product on the brush, or adjust your stippling or sweeping motion.

Bristles feel scratchy

The brush may need cleaning. Use a gentle brush cleaner and lukewarm water. Ensure the brush is fully dry before use.

Highlighter is patchy

Lighten the pressure applied. Ensure the highlighter product is compatible with the brush fibers and that the brush is properly conditioned after cleaning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers precise and controlled highlighter application.
  • Achieves a smooth, even, and blendable finish.
  • Suitable for various highlighter formulas (liquid, cream, powder).
  • Ergonomic and lightweight design for comfortable use.
  • Helps create both subtle and intense radiant effects.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for highlighter application, not general makeup.
  • May require a slight learning curve for optimal stippling technique.
  • The specialized nature means it's not an all-in-one brush solution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Hourglass Highlighter Brush No. No. 16 requires no setup; it is ready for use straight out of the packaging. Ensure it is clean before its first use.

Compatibility: This brush is designed to be compatible with a wide range of highlighter formulas, including liquids, creams, and powders. Its fibers are formulated to work effectively with various cosmetic textures.

Care: To maintain the brush's performance and hygiene:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wash the bristles with a mild brush cleanser or a small amount of gentle soap and lukewarm water. Avoid immersing the entire brush head, especially the ferrule, in water.
  2. Rinsing: Thoroughly rinse the bristles until all soap residue is removed.
  3. Drying: Reshape the bristles and lay the brush flat or hang it bristles-down to dry. Avoid standing the brush upright, as this can cause water to seep into the handle and ferrule.
  4. Frequency: Clean the brush regularly, ideally after every few uses, or immediately if used with cream or liquid products, to prevent product buildup and bacterial growth.
