Nº 4 Crease Brush

Hourglass Nº 4 Crease Brush aims squarely at the socket line. Hourglass calls it ideal for contouring the eye with precision and for working shadow through the crease — the step that turns a flat lid into one with visible depth.

What it actually does

• Contours the eye precisely. Hourglass describes the brush as suited to precision contouring, meaning the shadow lands on the socket line and not above it.
• Blends shadows into each other. The brand also lists blending eye shadows as a core use, so it both places and merges colour.
• Builds depth in stages. Working a crease shade in gradually is how you get dimension without a visible stripe, and the head is sized for that kind of repeated pass.
• Soft against the socket. Hourglass rates the Taklon as high grade and ultra-soft, which keeps the back-and-forth motion comfortable.
• Synthetic and PETA-approved. The brand presents Taklon as the more hygienic option set against animal hair, and as a solution for those with animal-hair allergies.
• Cream shadows welcome. Hourglass says liquid, cream and powder formulas all apply with this brush.
• Steadier in the hand. Weight in the metal handle is tied by the brand to easier blending and application.

How to use

1. Load lightly and tap off — crease colour is easier to add than to remove.
2. Find your socket line with your eyes open, then close them and lay the brush along it.
3. Move side to side in short sweeps, keeping the motion within the crease rather than above the brow bone.
4. Deepen the outer third with a second pass, then soften the inner end so it fades out.
5. Switch to a clean brush of the same shape to buff away any remaining edge.
6. To clean: wash with a mild soap and lukewarm water, then leave it to dry lying flat.

Questions

Can I use it on hooded eyes?

Yes, but place the colour slightly above where your crease sits when the eye is closed, so it stays visible when the eye is open. The brush's precision is what makes that adjustment possible.

Does it work for under-eye shadow?

It can carry powder along the lower lash line, though a smaller smudge brush gives tighter control there. Hourglass designed this one around the crease.

Will it take cream products?

Yes — the brand lists cream and liquid alongside powder. Just wash it afterwards so residue does not stiffen the fibres.

What is the shipping time?

3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. Items held in stock arrive fastest; anything sourced for you takes longer.
