13 Life-Changing Beauty Tools You Never Knew You Needed

by Andrea Marie

In this age of technology it sometimes seems like we never know what the next new product craze will bring. As far as beauty products are concerned we’ve seen the weird, the helpful and the unnecessary as the years have come and gone. However, there are some tools that deserve a lot more recognition than they get. These unconventional items can help step up your makeup, skincare, anti-aging and nail routines—and you probably aren’t even aware of them. Trust us when we say that adding these into your life will make things easier.

The Blackhead Vacuum

If you don't have enough time to go to the dermatologist, and want to try something other than a face mask or pore strips, this "vacuum" will help extract any pesky blackheads.

The Singing Mirror

Connect this vanity mirror to any Bluetooth-enabled device, and you can listen to your favorite playlist as you get ready. Genius!

The Bathtub For Your Brushes

The ridges on this palette make it easy to deep-clean your makeup brushes. Simply fill it with your favorite makeup-brush cleansing soap, and then swish away until you see all the residue has disappeared.

The Root Concealer

Airbrush makeup has been all the rage for awhile, but have you heard of airbrush hair color? This tool conceals your roots, and can give you a quick brow tinting, too.

The Vibrating Foundation Brush

We're not all pros when it comes to makeup application. If you have trouble blending your foundation to match your neck and getting it to look streak-free, this vibrating brush gets the job done.

The Thermal Lash Curler

If you're not someone who enjoys applying false eyelashes and you're not ready for extensions, but you still want a little more curl than you can get from a regular curler and mascara, try a heated curler. It'll bend your lashes in a way that the typical tool never will.

The Teeth Whitener

You've probably seen these all over Instagram, but we promise it's for good reason. This affordable LED-light teeth-whitener will have you selfie-ready in no time.

The Dimple Roller

While it's been proven that there is no cure for cellulite, you can diminish its appearance. Get your circulation going with this lotion and roller duo.

The Eye Protector

One of those most annoying things about makeup application is getting mascara, eyeliner or eyeshadow in places it doesn't need to be. This guard will keep everything where it's supposed to be, and guarantees zero messes.

The Futuristic Face Mask

If a typical anti-aging mask isn't giving you the results you want at home, it might be time to take things to the next level. This light treatment mask will tighten your skin and help diminish fine lines.

The Under-Eye Treatment

Under-eye circles and puffiness seem can seem like they'll never want to go away. Adding a laser into your anti-aging regime will help speed up the process.

The Nail Polish Guards

These genius clips make it so you don't have to cease all texting after getting a fresh manicure. You'll be able to move your fingers freely without worrying about any smudges!

The Product Scooper

When your favorite product is nearly gone, this mini spatula can help you scoop out what you can't reach with your hands. No need to buy a replacement just yet.
