At GlossGods, we believe makeup brushes are more than tools—they’re magic wands! To dig deeper into what makes our brushes so special, we’ve got an exclusive interview with Marielle, our founder, product developer, and makeup artist. And okay, let’s be real—getting an “exclusive” interview wasn’t exactly hard 😎  But hey, she is here to spill all the tea about why our brushes are as amazing as they are. Spoiler alert: it’s not just about the bristles!

Q: Let’s start with the basics. Why did you design your brushes the way you did?

A: First things first: the “M” on our brushes doesn’t stand for Marielle—though I’ll admit that would’ve been cute. It stands for Multiuse because we’re all about breaking boundaries. There’s no such thing as a ‘right way’ to use a brush. We are not that big into labels. 😘 Use them however you want. Makeup is art, and you’re the artist.

And let’s talk about the color. Our signature purple wasn’t just a random pick—I wanted brushes that spark joy every time you see them. Honestly, who wants boring, basic brushes? Purple is playful, bold, and so unapologetically GlossGods.

Q: What’s the deal with the long handles?

A: Oh, the long handles are a must, especially for professional makeup artists. Depending on where you hold the brush, you control the pressure, which can completely change the result. Pro tip: if you’re after a super-soft, diffused blend, hold the brush at the back of the handle. It’s all about letting the brush do the work for you.

Q: Synthetic bristles can get a bad rap. What makes yours different?

A: I get it; synthetic bristles don’t always have the best reputation among makeup artists (although I can argue A - LOT about why synthetic bristles performs better.) But ours? I made sure they mimic the feel and performance of natural bristles but without the cruelty. They’re vegan, ultra-soft, and perfect for everything from packing on pigment to blending seamlessly. 

Q: Durability is a big deal. How do your brushes hold up over time?

A: Let’s just say our brushes have been through it—and I mean really tested. I’ve handed them over to some fabulous drag queens who are not exactly gentle with their tools. The result? No cracking, no shedding, just gorgeous brushes that keep performing like day one. With a little TLC, these brushes will stick with you for years.

Q: What’s the secret sauce behind the design of each brush?

A: Every detail—from the bristle shape to the handle length—has been carefully thought out. I wanted brushes that felt amazing in your hand and made your makeup routine faster and easier. Seriously, once you try them, there’s no going back.

Q: Let’s talk price. GlossGods brushes are pretty affordable. How do you pull that off?

A: It’s because I do all the product development myself. We don’t need to hire outside teams, which saves a ton of money. I’m hands-on with every single aspect, from the design to testing. My goal is to make professional-quality brushes accessible to everyone without blowing your budget. Because let’s be real, we all want more room for GlossGods goodies in our carts, right?

Q: Any last words for GlossGods fans about your brushes?

A: Don’t stress about using them the ‘right way’—just have fun! Whether you’re experimenting for the first time or you’re a pro, these brushes are here to make your life easier and your makeup look flawless. They’re versatile, durable, and, let’s be honest, kinda iconic.
