A makeup headband holds your hair back while you beat your face or do your skincare routine so you don’t waste time fighting with wisps of hair or trying to get product out of your tresses.


amazon.com

Promising review: “I received my elastic hair band and I absolutely love it. I can’t have a bad day if I put this on and look at myself in the mirror. Call that what you want, but I’ve had a hard time finding a hair band that works for me. I usually have to use a headband that puts pressure on that bony part behind the ear. It hurts! I appreciate that this has elastic to keep it on in the front as well as in the BACK. This sucker doesn’t move, which I appreciate when I’m trying to do my skincare/makeup. A small part of me wishes I could wear this in public, but alas, no. Not socially acceptable unless I’m in costume or doing some sort of consultant work. Also, it’s so darn cute. If you’re even thinking about it, then DO IT!” —Jenty92210

amazon.com, amazon.com, amazon.com

Pro tip: Detangle hair starting at the ends and work your way up so you get through it faster!

Promising review: “I’m always skeptical of products that claim to ‘glide through,’ but this brush actually works! I have very thick, kinky-coily hair, and this brush passes through my hair easily, both wet and dry. I’d recommend this product to anyone looking for a good detangling brush, and yes, I’m leaving my Denman brush for this one.” —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $9.88.

Eyeshadow patches prevent fallout from ruining your foundation and forcing you to reapply. You can also use these to get a smooth winged eyeliner look or on your lips to make sure your lipstick and/or lip liner has perfect lines.

Promising review: “I have a lot of hair. A LOT. Like, ‘Wow, is that Wookiee over there?’ LOTS. I have looked into having a third arm surgically implanted. Is this a thing? Who would do it? Vascular surgery? These are the questions that keep me up at night🤔 because my shoulders are so tired holding up a dryer and a round brush for eternity. I briefly considered making a workout video (Toned Arms: The Hairdryer Workout) but was informed by fitness people that there isn’t a market for a 75-minute focus on the anterior deltoids. I almost have to wake up BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP in order to have enough time to dry my hair before work. This thing took me eight minutes. I naturally assumed, upon finishing, that I had entered some sort of Amazon-created beauty time warp. I checked with my husband in the next room, and in fact, I did not go through a blowout wormhole. The silkier-than-silk style was accomplished by this miracle of a brush in eight minutes. Several more minutes were still lost to running my hands through my hair and flicking it over my shoulder while smiling coquettishly in the mirror. If you struggle with an overabundance of hair as I do, then seriously consider giving this amazing contraption a try.” —Chris

A hair finishing stick made with plant oils cleans up all random stray strands so you achieve those sleek buns, ponytails, and topknots without having to redo them over and over.


amazon.com

Promising review:I rarely ever leave reviews, but THIS is amazing!! I have naturally frizzy hair that is also wavy and curly. I have a lot of breakage around the crown, and this stuff sleeks it back but doesn’t make it look greasy or crunchy! I suggest taking the mascara wand and wiping off the excess on the tube before applying so you don’t apply too much. When I apply too much, all I have to do is let it dry and then scratch my fingernails from front to back to break it up, and it still creates a sleek look without any crunchiness. I love this stuff so much, I need to get another for my car on those days that my mom hair is looking terrible.” —Adriana

A dual-ended eyeliner stamp because cheating your way to a FLAWLESS winged eyeliner look is honestly goals. It has a wing stamp on one end and a traditional felt tip on the other. No more trial, error, and smudging away product, since you get it right on the first try with this stamp.


amazon.com, Amazon

One scroll through the photos in the Amazon reviews of this product will show perfect winged eye after perfect winged eye!

Promising review: “Let me start by saying this isn’t my first cat eye rodeo. I’ve tried the taping method, normal liquid liner, plastic winged stamping devices, stencils, and more! So when I saw this I thought, Meh, why not give it a shot? It’s not like my hopes were high, since nothing else has worked as it should. Well, this gem arrived and I immediately had to try it out, all while laughing at how terrible this would probably turn out. To my surprise, I put the left cat eye on first and it was perfect, aside from needing to connect it to my current liner. I thought this was a fluke and did the right eye. Again, it came out clean and perfect! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE BEEN ABLE TO DO A CAT EYE IN UNDER 10 MINUTES, LET ALONE THE TWO MINUTES THIS TOOK TO DO! There were no sloppy streaks that I had to touch up or anything you would expect. Just a clean, crisp line. I love that it has two ends as well, one with the stamp and one with a thin tip, so you can connect your liner and cat eye. I can now do a cat eye EVERY day and look/feel like a baddie, and everyone can think I spend hours doing my makeup in the morning.” —LadyMeow

I wish I had a picture as I was using the tool of how much white peach fuzz came off in small strokes! I loved the eyebrow tool and couldn’t have shaped the brow without it!” —D.L.

It’s meant to even out discoloration and give you a dewy, skinlike finish without being as heavy as a traditional foundation. Mmhmm. Your no-makeup makeup game is about to be super popping!


Glossier

Promising review: “I am not a big foundation person. I like having a natural ‘your skin but better’ look, and at 48, I’m lucky to have a pretty decent complexion with very few lines/wrinkles. I tried the Skin Tint in G8 and am totally in love with it! I used it today, figuring that since it was casual Friday, I’d go with a very natural look. It took me five minutes to get ready this morning. I blended in the Skin Tint, followed by a few taps of the Cloud Paint and a sweep or two of the Lidstar in Cub, and I was DONE! I love the simplicity of the Glossier products and will continue to purchase and experiment with this brand.” —Kathy

Promising review: “I’ve been in the mood for nude lips lately but didn’t really have that many in my arsenal of lip products. I looked up WOC-friendly shades, and this gloss constantly came up. I’m SOOOO glad I bought it! It’s just right for the office and isn’t in the ‘concealer nude’ family. It’s subtle but also makes itself known. NYX Butter Glosses are the best in texture also. So smooth and shiny. Love it!” —Nancy C.

I seriously love this stuff sooo much!!!!” —JaNaeSyx

Amazon

Promising review: “I LOVE THESE. I used to purchase the Goody brand, but it seems my local stores stopped selling the larger size and only carry the tiny ones now. I decided to try this brand, and I’m so glad I did. I love that there are eight per pack, versus the two in the competitor boxes. I make sure to keep these handy anywhere I go. My hair is extremely long, about 25 inches, and one of these holds my hair in place perfectly. I use two when I’m playing volleyball, and I never have to retie my hair like I used to when using a hair tie. I definitely recommend these.” —Victoria B.

This microfiber hair towel is super absorbent and anti-frizz and cuts your hair drying time in half — without adding extra heat damage. Plus, it keeps your wet hair out of the way while you do your makeup and get ready.


amazon.com

“Ever since I started using a microfiber hair towel, I hardly ever use a blow-dryer anymore. I’d rather not add heat to my curly hair unless totally necessary, so I’ll wash my hair at night, wrap it in a microfiber towel, and let it dry on its own. It helps my curls feel much healthier — and it keeps my hair out of the way while I’m doing my skincare routine.” —Kayla Boyd

Promising review: “If you have naturally curly hair, you need this towel! I don’t know what is at work, but it definitely reduces frizz, and my curls come out much nicer after using this towel. It would be even better if the towel were a smidge larger so it would feel more secure while wrapped around my head. Even so, it’s a great product and I recommend it to my curly-haired friends.” —KShats

Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in two sizes).
