Makeup Brushes

Considering that most makeup comes with some kind of brush of its own, Kevyn Aucoin Beauty Makeup Brushes aren't cheap. But they're still a bargain. They make a measurable difference in how makeup looks, drawing more precisely and dusting over skin more evenly.

Blow-Dryers

A favorite of runway stylists, the 1,800-watt Super Solano Hair Dryer pares valuable time off our morning routine and leaves our hair smooth and glossy, even if we've been a little sloppy with the brush.

Razors

The Gillette Mach 3 Turbo gives a nick-free shave this fast.

Tweezers

We'll be quick, since Tweezerman Spa Slant Tweezers are: They grab and grip better than all the others we tried.

Eyelash Curlers

Like some kind of cosmetics superhero, the Kevyn Aucoin Eyelash Curler rescues lashes from the cruelty of the clamp. Its red pad makes lashes more visible so you can avoid the painful pinch, and produces a perfect, graceful curl.

Blotting Papers

Plenty of other blotting papers pick up shine--and blush, and base, and concealer. Clean & Clear Absorbing Sheets wick away every last trace of grease from your face, without lifting off even a bit of the makeup that belongs there.

Teeth Whitener

Editors' Choice

Almost all of the whiteners we tested left our teeth pretty much the exact color they started. But used for 30 minutes twice a day for just a week, Crest Whitestrips Premium lifted the stains of hundreds of cups of coffee, glasses of Syrah, and all those stupidly puffed college cigarettes.
