Your beauty cupboard is only as good as the tools within it. While looking your best starts from the inside out, there are a number of ways you can make your life even easier and it all comes down to your makeup bag. Although you might be settled in your ways with your makeup, there are a number of tools that you can use to make your life even easier. Arming yourself with these brushes and everyday items will give you the look you’ve always dreamed of and better yet, they’re right at your fingertips. It’s time to make the most of what mother nature gave to you!
Light and Contour Brush
Makeup is in a whole different place now than it was even 3 years ago. Gone are the days of full base coverage and now, you might be more used to contouring and highlighting your way to perfection. Whether you take on the process like a professional or prefer a more subtle approach, you’re going to need a tool to help you perfect your look. Picking up a good quality light and contour brush can save you a huge amount of time and make your makeup set in place just as you wanted! Two headed brushes can easily be incorporated into your everyday routine and help you to layer on the highlight and contour without going over the top. When you want a more laid back look, you can use the brush for your powder, bronzer and brush; it’s the ultimate multitasker!
Scotch Magic Tape
Thought that your beauty tools had to come from the drugstore? Think again! There is a whole world of useful tools out there and for the most part, they’re lying amongst your everyday household objects. One tool that can save you a great deal of time and effort is Scotch magic tape. Clean, precise and easy to tear, the tape can help you to master some of the most difficult makeup looks, making perfecting your eye makeup a walk in the park. You can use the tape when applying a liquid eyeliner or a smokey eye. Angle an inch of tape from your bottom lash line towards your temple, apply your eyeliner and carefully peel away. A cleaner, sharper look can be yours within seconds!
False Eyelashes
From time to time, you want to go all out and when that happens, you’re going to need the right kinds of tools to help you get the look. Keeping a quality pair of false eyelashes in your makeup drawer is a great way of elevating your look in seconds, with virtually no effort on your part. Unless you’re confident at applying individual lashes yourself, you might want to consider investing in a good lash adhesive pack. The lashes will stick together in one go and can be reapplied using the natural glue. You can go from day to night in a matter of seconds!
Exfoliating Mitts
Beauty is about so much more than your face. Looking after your body from head to toe is all part and parcel of taking care of yourself and when it comes to feeling your best, you might want to focus on your skin. Smooth and supple skin is always a sign of great health but if you’re battling with the seasons, it can be harder to keep things in check. That’s where an exfoliator comes in. Keeping a pair of exfoliating mitts in your bathroom ensures that any dry patches are not left to build up, helping you to maintain a smoother appearance. While you might want to choose your brand, selecting individual mits is an easy way to target all of your body and get to those hard to reach areas.
Cleansing Sponge
Are you getting the most out of your cleanser? You might want to invest in a tool to improve its cleaning power. Cleansing sponges have long been used as a way of gently exfoliating the skin’s surface and making the cleanser itself go even further. Picking a sponge enriched with hydrating elements can cut down on any further damage to your skin, ensuring that your complexion looks at its glowing best. While you might want to use it every time you wash your face, keeping it in your bathroom for sporadic use can ensure that your skin always looks at its best!
