It is designed to effortlessly apply, blend, and diffuse eyeshadow and liner, making it perfect for creating intense, sultry, or smoky eye looks.

FAQs
Is the Hourglass No. 11 Smudge Brush vegan?
Yes, it is made with high-grade synthetic Taklon bristles, making it 100% vegan and suitable for those with animal hair sensitivities.
Can I use this for applying base eyeshadow?
While you can, it is not optimized for that purpose. Its small size is intended for detail work, smudging, and defining.
How often should I clean this brush?
If used daily with cream products, clean at least once a week. For powder products, cleaning every two weeks is generally sufficient.
Does the brush shed bristles?
When cared for properly, this brush is designed to be durable and shed-resistant.
What is the best way to dry the brush?
Always lay the brush flat on a clean towel or use a brush drying rack with the bristles facing downward.
Troubleshooting
Bristles are losing shape or becoming splayed
Avoid soaking the ferrule in water. Reshape the bristles while damp and lay the brush flat to dry completely.
Difficulty removing pigment from the brush
Use an oil-based makeup remover or a dedicated brush cleanser to break down cream or long-wear pigments before rinsing with water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No setup is required; the brush is ready to use straight from the packaging. It is fully compatible with powder, cream, and liquid eyeshadow formulas, as well as gel and pencil eyeliners. To ensure the longevity of your brush, clean it regularly using a mild, brush-specific cleanser or gentle soap. Gently massage the bristles in your palm with lukewarm water, rinse thoroughly, and always lay the brush flat or hang it with bristles facing downward to dry, ensuring no water enters the ferrule to protect the adhesive integrity.
