Even if you’re a professional makeup artist or hair stylist, there is a slew of annoying beauty mishaps that even the most well-trained hands find inevitable. From eyeshadow fallout to a smudged manicure, there are plenty of debacles that may seem petty, but are downright frustrating. While there’s certainly no shortage of over-the-top, gimmicky beauty problem-solving products to be found these days, a lot of them aren’t actually useful. Frankly, I really don’t find butt and breast masks, mascaras equipped with rotating wands, or serum-lined exfoliating socks to be all that compelling.

With that being said, the pains of applying false lashes, or applying foundation in the bathroom only to discover a stark line of demarcation upon stepping out into natural light can ruin your entire look and well, your entire day. However, there are some innovative beauty tools and products on the market which, despite coming across as outright bizarre and downright unnecessary, actually really help make your beauty routine a heck of a lot easier. Many of the product discoveries I’ve stumbled upon are also not just beauty fixers, but they’re also game-changers for low-maintenance (or lazy) beauty routines for those who don’t want to fuss over one more step and just don’t have the time.
