Nº 7 Finishing Brush

Hourglass Nº 7 Finishing Brush is the big, pillowy powder brush — large head, extremely soft bristles, made for laying down the lightest possible veil of powder or blush rather than packing product on.

It is the brush you reach for at the end, when the face is already built and all it needs is a final dusting to look even.

What it actually does

• Deposits powder lightly and evenly. Hourglass describes it as ideal for giving exactly the right dusting of blush or powder for a flawless-looking finish.
• Covers ground fast. The large head means fewer passes across the face, which is part of why the result stays diffused instead of patchy.
• Takelon synthetic bristles. Per the brand, these are high-grade synthetic fibres chosen to maximise how product is applied, avoid the allergic reactions animal hair can cause, and support non-animal materials.
• PETA-friendly by design. Hourglass states the brush collection was created to be luxuriously soft using PETA-friendly Takelon, and that its products are 100 percent cruelty-free.

How to use

1. Dip the brush head lightly into your powder or blush and tap off the excess — this brush picks up more than you think.
2. Sweep across the face in soft, broad strokes for an even dusting.
3. To clean: wash gently with a mild soap and water, as the brand instructs, then reshape the head and let it dry.

Questions

Is it natural hair or synthetic?

Synthetic. Hourglass uses Takelon fibres — a high-grade synthetic chosen partly to sidestep the allergic reactions some people have to animal fur.

What can I use it for?

Face powder is its main job, and the brand also names blush. It is a large brush, so it suits broad, diffused application rather than targeted placement.

How should I wash it?

Gently, with mild soap and water — that is the brand's own instruction. Avoid anything harsh that could strip or splay the fibres.

How long does delivery take, and how can I pay?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. Payment is by credit card, debit card, Instapay and mobile wallets — no cash on delivery.

Can I return it?
