Hourglass Veil™ Powder Brush

Achieve a beautifully smooth, refined, and airbrushed-looking complexion with the Hourglass Veil™ Powder Brush, a luxurious double-ended powder brush designed to make setting and finishing makeup effortless. Created specifically to complement the Veil™ Translucent Setting Powder, this versatile brush features two precision-shaped ends: a large, rounded side for seamless all-over powder application and a smaller, tapered side designed for targeted areas such as the under-eye and around the nose. 

The brush is made with ultra-soft synthetic Taklon bristles that are carefully dispersed to pick up and distribute the right amount of loose powder. Rather than depositing a heavy layer of product, the soft bristles allow powder to be applied in a thin, even veil, helping create a smooth, perfected finish while minimizing excess product. 

Its double-ended design makes it particularly practical for complexion makeup. Use the larger rounded end to lightly set the entire face, then switch to the smaller tapered end when you need more precision under the eyes, around the nose, or in other smaller areas. Although designed for setting powder, the brush can also be used with finishing powders, bronzers, blush, and highlighters, making it a versatile addition to your makeup collection.

Brush Design

Large Rounded End
The larger, rounded brush head is designed for sweeping and diffusing powder across larger areas of the face. Its shape makes it ideal for setting the foundation and creating an even, soft-focus finish across the complexion.

Small Tapered End
The smaller tapered side provides greater precision for delicate and smaller areas. Use it beneath the eyes, around the nose, or anywhere you want more controlled powder application. 

Bristle Type

Ultra-Soft Taklon Synthetic Bristles
The brush features high-grade, ultra-soft synthetic Taklon fibers. The bristles are designed to be exceptionally soft while picking up and distributing powder evenly across the skin. They are also an excellent alternative for people who experience allergies to animal hair. 

How to Use

• Dip the appropriate end of the brush into your loose or pressed powder.
• Pick up a small amount of product.
• Tap off any excess powder before applying.
• Use the large rounded end to lightly sweep or press powder over the face.
• Use the small tapered end to set underneath the eyes and around the nose.
• Build the powder gradually rather than applying a large amount at once.
• For a softer finish, use light sweeping motions to diffuse the powder across the complexion.

Why You’ll Love It

The Hourglass Veil™ Powder Brush solves one of the biggest problems with powder application: getting enough product onto the skin to set makeup without making the complexion look overly powdered.

Its ultra-soft, loosely dispersed bristles are designed to pick up an appropriate amount of loose powder and distribute it evenly, helping create the kind of soft, airbrushed complexion associated with finely applied setting powder. 

The double-ended design is another major advantage. Instead of needing a separate large powder brush and smaller detail brush, you have both functions in one tool. The large end handles the majority of the face, while the tapered end gives you control over areas where precision matters most—particularly the under-eye area and around the nose. 

And while it was specifically created for the Veil™ Translucent Setting Powder, you’re not limited to that product. Hourglass states that the brush can also be used with bronzers, finishing powders, and highlighters, making it much more versatile than its name might suggest.
