Details & care

What it is: A multitasking brush that features two versatile brush heads designed for use with an array of products, including powder, brush, bronzer and highlighter, and cream or liquid products, too.

What it does: This brush features a rounded end that has been ideally shaped for applying finishing powder and adding bronzer to the temples and hollows of the cheeks, and a tapered side which has been shaped to flawlessly apply blush and highlighter. It's made with PETA-approved, high-grade, ultrasoft Taklon bristles and features a weighted metal handle to provide control for effortless blending and application.

Pro tips: Wash with mild soap and water. Lay flat to dry.

Perfect for contouring!

This is the perfect contouring brush to use with bronzer. It places the bronzer exactly where you want it without a wide sweep of color. It's a quality brush, no shedding.

Waste of money

I treated myself to this brush thinking it would be perfect using with the Ambient edit palette. It is not. I can't find any usage for this brush and believe me i tried it with every product i thought it could work with. It is too dense, too small and it was a waste of money. Really surprised that Hourglass would produce a brush that doesn't bring their beautiful makeup justice. It is a mystery and an expensive one. Spend your money on their makeup instead . Really dissapointing

Get it!

It's one of those products where you feel you can live without...until you try it...absolutely love it. The bristles are beautiful, the craftsmanship superb, and the effect is flawless.

Great Brush!

I use this with the limited edition surreal lighting palette and love that it's the perfect size to swirl in each color. Also love that it's double sided so I can use it for all over face powder and bronzer or blush. Good buy!

Perfect Blending

This brush blends to perfection. I use one side for bronzer to chisel out my cheekbones and the other side for highlighter.

Save your money

I decided to buy this brush with birthday gift money but it is something I wouldn’t ordinarily have bought. I was gifted the Ambient Lighting Edit 4 pallet and needed a brush that fit into the small pans. The brush is soft but both ends are too dense for my liking to apply the blush, bronzer and powder to the face. It’s fine for the highlighter or maybe just setting under the eyes. The cost is too high for this item that you can’t even stand in a brush holder because of it being double-sided.

Amazing!

This brush is so soft and effective for applying all makeup I have tried it. I have been comparing it to other brushes I own and cannot figure out what makes it so fabulous, but it is! I found this brush when an Hourglass representative at Sephora was applying products to my face. I loved the flawless look it gave me.
