By: Alanna Martine Kilkeary | Makeup.com by L'Oréal

So, you’ve got your makeup mirror, beauty sponge and every makeup brush out there. There’s no question that these are all necessities, but there are other beauty tools out there that we seriously cannot live without, and we don’t think you should either. Ahead, find six of our favorites that do more than their intended use and will become your new go-tos.

Clarisonic

1 / 6

Clarisonic

You’ve heard the hype before, and for good reason. If you aren’t already cleansing your skin with a Clarisonic daily, you’re really missing out. Have you ever washed your face, only to dry it off and realize your white towel is still stained with makeup? That’s because you’re not getting the deep clean a facial cleansing brush can achieve. Regular use of a Clarisonic will reduce the appearance of pores, acne, oil and can even improve signs of aging. Better yet, you can even apply makeup with it.

Eyelash Curler

Eyelash Curler

An eyelash curler, cue the Tweezerman Classic, is a total must-have in every babe’s collection. While you use this on a regular basis before applying mascara, try keeping one in your office or with you to give your lashes a boost any time during the day.

Flawless Touch

3 / 6

Flawless Touch

For painless hair removal, try the Flawless Touch. Before applying makeup, switch on this little device until you hear a buzzing sound and gently place it over any areas with unwanted facial hair in small circular motions. Before you know it, your skin will be makeup-ready and fuzz free.

Jade Roller

4 / 6

Jade Roller

Depuffing is the name of every jade roller’s game — and we highly recommend incorporating this technique into your daily pre-makeup routine. Use one by itself to encourage blood flow in your skin, or use it with your favorite serum to apply an even layer of product. Our favorite is the Herbivore Jade Facial Roller.

Toothbrush

5 / 6

Toothbrush

Using a toothbrush extends far beyond brushing your teeth. Not only can you use one to tame flyaways and tease your hair, but you can also shape your brows, scrub your nails, fix a fake tan, exfoliate your lips, clean your blowdryer — the list goes on and on.

Tweezers

6 / 6

Tweezers

Not only are these Tweezerman Slant Tweezers excellent for plucking out any unwanted hairs, they are even better for applying falsies. Simply hold onto your fake lash using these and apply a thin layer of glue until it’s tacky. Next, use the tweezers to precisely apply your lashes on your desired upper or lower lash line.
