A Soft Glam Routine Using All My Favourite Brushes
No, you don’t need 20 steps or 40 products to feel pulled together.
This is the exact everyday soft glam look I created using only B.U. BEAUTY brushes — and it honestly took around 10 minutes. It’s warm, lifted, and wearable, with soft eye definition and a sculpted-but-natural base.
Whether you’re getting ready for work, a dinner, or just want to look like you slept well… these brushes + this routine just work.
🧡 Step 1: Eyes First — Soft, Sculpted & Neutral
🖌 Universal Base Shadow Brush
Start with a matte neutral tone swept across the lid using the Universal Base Shadow Brush. This sets the base and evens out the tone.
🖌 Crease Blend Brush
Then I picked up a warm orange shade and softly blended it into the outer corners using the Crease Blend Brush.
To deepen the look, I added a slightly darker brown across the crease and outer V — still with the same brush, just using a light hand.
✒️ Optional: Winged Liner
I also added a small wing — totally optional, but it really lifts the eyes and completes the look. I also added 2 coats of my favourite mascara to my lashes.
🌿 Step 2: Skin — Sculpted but Still Soft
🖌 Flat Head Foundation Brush
Next, I applied and blended my foundation using the Flat Head Foundation Brush from the Essentials Face Brush Set.
It buffs everything in beautifully without soaking up too much product.
🖌 Setting Brush
For concealer, I used the Setting Brush. The rounded tip is perfect for blending under the eyes and into those inner corners without disturbing the rest of your base.
🖌 Contour Brush
To sculpt, I used the Contour Brush and applied powder bronzer just under the cheekbones.
Yes, I literally sucked my cheeks in to find the perfect line — works every time.
🖌 Blush Brush
Next, blush. I placed it slightly higher, closer to the temples, using the Blush Brush.
This technique gives a subtle lift and makes everything feel fresh and sculpted.
✨ Optional: Highlighter Brush
For a soft glow, I tapped on a powder highlight using the Highlighter Brush.
This step’s totally optional — but it adds that extra radiance.
💄 One Last Thing… Add a Lip
To complete the look, I added a classic red lipstick — it instantly elevated the vibe and made it feel like full-glam, even though it took barely any extra time.
🧼 Quick Note: Clean Tools = Clear Skin
I always say this: better brushes blend better — but clean brushes matter just as much.
