Brush Design

Contoured Shape
The uniquely shaped brush is designed to follow the natural contours of the face, allowing you to work foundation into areas that can be difficult to reach with larger, traditional foundation brushes. It is particularly useful around the nose and under-eye area. 

Crimped Bristles
The uniquely crimped fibers provide increased control, allowing you to sweep foundation smoothly across the different planes of the face while maintaining an even application. 

Ultra-Soft Taklon Fibers
High-grade synthetic Taklon bristles provide a soft, luxurious microfiber-like feel while offering the density and structure needed to blend complexion products effectively. They are also an alternative for people who may be sensitive or allergic to animal hair. 

How to Use

• Apply foundation directly to the face or onto the brush.
• Starting at the center of the face, use the brush to sweep foundation outward.
• Continue blending across the cheeks, forehead, chin, and jawline.
• Use the shaped edge of the brush to work around the nose and underneath the eyes.
• Build additional coverage where needed rather than applying a heavy layer everywhere.
• Continue sweeping until the foundation is evenly blended and seamless-looking.

Why You’ll Love It

The Hourglass Vanish™ Foundation Brush is designed for people who want more control over their foundation application without giving up softness or blending ability.

Its biggest advantage is the combination of shape and density. A traditional flat foundation brush can make it difficult to work around the nose and eyes, while a very fluffy brush may diffuse the product too much when you’re trying to achieve fuller coverage. The Vanish brush is specifically shaped to navigate facial contours while maintaining enough structure to move foundation efficiently across the skin. 

The crimped Taklon fibers also give you greater control over how the foundation is distributed. This makes it particularly effective with stick foundation, where you often want to blend directly from concentrated areas of product into a smooth, even layer. Hourglass designed the brush specifically to work with the Vanish Foundation Stick for a seamless finish. 

Despite its performance-oriented design, the bristles remain exceptionally soft, creating a comfortable, luxurious sensation against the skin. The synthetic fibers also make it a practical alternative to brushes made with animal hair.
