Are you the type to spend hours carefully crafting your glam at the vanity table, or throw on a few swipes of concealer in the rearview mirror? In either case, you know that dependable makeup is just the first step toward a radiant appearance. Beauty tools provide that je ne sais quoi that separates a forgettable look from eye-catching radiance.
Before the thought of purchasing even more items for your makeup drawer sends you into a tizzy, we have good news: makeup brushes are simple and intuitive, and there is no need to learn new techniques. Below, we'll introduce all of our favorites, determined based on quality, durability, ergonomic design, and sustainability.
Travel-Sized Makeup Brushes for On-The-Go Glam:
Full-sized makeup brushes aren't the simplest beauty tools to pack. The long handle can take up significant space, while the fluffy head can quickly attract dust and bacteria in your suitcase. That's why we're proud believers in travel-sized makeup brushes.
Jenny Patinkin's Brush Babies Mini Makeup Brush Set makes packing easier than you ever imagined. It includes six petite makeup brushes with weighted phantom handles to mimic the feel of their full-size counterparts, as well as two-and-a-half times as many bristles for ultra-smooth application. The complete set comes in a swanky vegan case, so debris from your suitcase won't make its way into your makeup routine.
No Time to Clean Your Beauty Tools? Enter Instant Makeup Brush Cleaner!
Those with acne-prone skin are often wary of reusing makeup brushes for fear of spreading bacteria. You can always hand-wash and air-dry your brushes, but this adds another time-consuming task to your to-do list. We have a solution (and it's become a non-negotiable in our makeup bag): Instant Makeup Brush Cleaner!
With just a few spritzes, this antibacterial formula kills pore-clogging impurities while melting away makeup. It dries instantly, so there's no need to delay your beauty routine.
Sustainable Makeup Sponges for Green Beauty Routines:
Don't love the feel of a brush against your skin? We hear you. Makeup sponges are an ideal alternative! Makeup sponges make it easy to buff in your foundation for a flawless finish. Some people find the soft, pliable texture more user-friendly than a brush, and they're more compact for on-the-go touch-ups.
As an eco-conscious beauty buff, you likely scrutinize the materials used in makeup sponge manufacturing. But, you can skip the skepticism with Jenny Patinkin's sustainable makeup sponges. Take your pick of the Green Tea Makeup Sponge, made from 70% organic green tea, or the Luxury Makeup Sponge Duo, with 65% upcycled rice.
An Eyelash Curler for Swoon-Worthy Eyes:
In the context of a makeup look, the eyes are like the MVPs. Scientific studies even show that eye contact is a powerful tool for building social connections and engaging others during conversation. So, when we pack our beauty tools, we never leave behind a stellar eyelash curler.
The Big Reveal Eyelash Curler from Jenny Patinkin is a luxury beauty tool specifically designed to bring hooded and deep-set eyes into the limelight. The flatter curve and upright ankle prevent uncomfy pinching or pulling, while the wider upper metal plate creates a striking curl. The next time you're heading to a crucial interview, leading a major meeting, or even sashaying off to a hot date, you can count on this eyelash curler to give you an edge.
