Think flawless makeup needs a full glam team? Think again. With the right brush in your hand, you can achieve professional results at home — faster, smoother, and cleaner. These brush-based makeup hacks will help you transform your routine and elevate every look.
Each trick works perfectly with PHGLAM’s high-performance makeup brush sets.
BRUSH HACK 1: Use the Right Brush for Each Step
Stop using one brush for everything. Use a dense kabuki for foundation, a tapered brush for blush, and a flat shader for eyeshadow. The shape changes everything.
BRUSH HACK 2: Blend in Circular Motions
When applying foundation or blush, always use soft, circular motions to avoid harsh lines. Our ultra-soft synthetic bristles make blending seamless without streaks.
BRUSH HACK 3: Spray Before You Slay
Lightly mist your brush with setting spray or water before applying shimmer or metallic eyeshadow. It intensifies color and locks it in — no fallout.
BRUSH HACK 4: Upgrade Your Eyeshadow Game
Use a small angled brush to create a soft eyeliner look using shadow instead of pencil. Perfect for a natural wing or smoked-out lash line.
BRUSH HACK 5: Perfect Contour in 3 Swipes
Use an angled contour brush to apply bronzer below the cheekbones, along the jawline, and forehead edges. Then blend upward for a natural sculpted look — no harsh lines.
BRUSH HACK 6: Don’t Skip the Clean
Dirty brushes = patchy makeup and breakouts. Clean your brushes once a week with gentle soap and lukewarm water. Always dry bristle side down to protect the shape.
