overbrushed

Brushed too much

Overbrushed describes something that has been brushed too much or too aggressively.

Hair that is overbrushed may become frizzy, damaged, or stripped of natural oils.

In digital image editing, overbrushed skin looks artificially smooth, plastic, or unnaturally uniform—the telltale sign of heavy-handed retouching: Her face looks overbrushed in that photo.
