If you look at any celebrity “get ready with me” video, there is one makeup brand you’ll spot time and time again—and that’s Hourglass. From Hailey Bieber to Sofia Richie-Grainge, there is one particular Hourglass product the A-list can’t get enough of—and no, it’s not the iconic Hourglass Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balms or the cult Veil Hydrating Skin Tint—it’s the Hourglass makeup brushes that are quietly perfecting their makeup looks.
With their impossibly soft bristles, sculptural design and inconspicuously chic chocolate chrome handles, Hourglass makeup brushes, along with their serious blending sorcery, have become the quiet heroes of countless celebrity makeup routines. You’ll often spot at least one in Hailey Bieber’s TikTok beauty videos, while Sofia Richie-Grainge, Gracie Abrams and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley also count themselves as fans, too. More often than not, Hourglass brushes are the secret behind the diffused finish we all covet.
These vegan and cruelty-free makeup brushes are made from high-grade Taklon bristles and feel as premium to use as they look. I’ve been using a handful of the brushes over the past few months and can attest to their performance; they still look and feel as good as new, even after using them almost every day, and they truly make my makeup go on like butter. However, I’d be remiss not to mention their price tag—these luxury makeup brushes don’t come cheap. So, I tried all the best Hourglass makeup brushes to help you decide which are truly worth the investment. Consider this your formal introduction to the exact makeup brushes that beauty insiders can’t put down. Your most luxurious makeup application awaits…
