    18 Useful Beauty Tools That Are Totally Worth Splurging On

    These ~legendary~ tools (and their cheaper dupes!) are worth a gander. The products in this post were updated in October 2017.

    1. A Tweezerman Smooth Finish Facial Hair Remover with a twisting coil that's perfect for annihilating weird chin hairs en masse.

    2. Or if you detest the sensation of threading, there's this Shiseido Facial Razor to conquer all sorts of defuzzing detail work.

    3. A Vera Mona Color Switch Brush Cleaner for when you have to quickly switch eyeshadow colors but don't have time to wash your brushes.

    4. An award-winning Shu Uemura eyelash curler with a patented hinge that gives you an angle *just right* for applying pressure.

    5. The original Beauty Blender sponge (lest we forget) for making your foundation look like you put it through an Insta filter.

    6. A Clarisonic Mia1 Cleansing Brush for a gentle cleansing sesh that'll get deep down in your pores.

    7. And the ergonomic Luna Mini Cleansing Brush that's a little less intimidating than the Clarisonic.

    8. A Japonesque Solid Brush Cleanser packed with goat milk that dissolves makeup and impurities.

    9. An Anastasia Beverly Hills 2-in-1 brow brush for sculpting your eyebrows like the queen of brows herself -- with some practice, of course.

    13. The Macadamia Professional No Tangle Brush that fits into your hand perfectly to wield some major detangling prowess.

    14. And a prestige Mason Pearson boar bristle brush to redistribute your hair's natural oils and leave your locks -- plus extensions -- in order.

    15. A Sigma Beauty Essential Brush Set in ~titanium~ featuring a double-threaded system and waterproof handles to outlast years of use and washing.

    16. A Diamencel 3 Coarse Nail File made from diamonds for ease in shaping natural nails and can easily be washed.

    17. An actually cheap Every Drop Beauty Spatula that seems unnecessary, but will pay for itself over and over again.
