1. Revlon's One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumizer lets you treat yourself to a salon-level blowout without stepping outside the house, and in a fraction of the time you'd spend using a traditional blow-dryer. It handles drying and styling in one step!
This brush has some serious hype with more than 244,000 5-star reviews, and it really does live up to it. The oval brush design smooths the hair and the round edges create volume — leaving you with a salon-worthy blowout at home. It also has two heat and speed settings and a cool option.
Promising review: "This thing is definitely the best purchase I have ever made. My hair-drying time went from three hours down to about 30 minutes, it dries so well, especially if you pair it with the blow-drying cream or spray. On top of blow-drying my hair, the ceramic gets so hot that my hair is straightened in the process. So it brushes, dries, and straightens. This thing has literally changed my life and saved me hours of time. I cannot say enough good things. Seriously I could go on and on." —Summer Fayard
"I have 4c African American kinky-coily hair. This dryer cuts my drying and straightening time to just 20 to 25 minutes! I part my hair in four sections, apply my heat protectant, and use this dryer and in no time my hair is straightened! This hair dryer is comfortable and practical to use. Highly recommend for Black/AA or textured hair!" —Lisa
Get it from Amazon for $39.07.
2. iMethod's winged eyeliner stamp is especially worth it if black eyeliner is part of your everyday look. This double-sided stamp *guarantees* the wing on each eye will be identical, and the other side has a fine liner you can use to fill in the rest.
Check it out in this TikTok from @shadesofpri.
Promising review: "I have always been not so good at makeup and this is a game changer for me! Especially for someone who doesn’t have a lot of time but still wants to look like they put in some effort! Love love love this!" —Amanda K.
Get it from Amazon for $12.95.
3. E.l.f. Brow Wow makes your brows presentable in a matter of seconds for when you don't have time to be messing around with a full kit. This buildable wax-gel sculpts your hairs into place while also depositing hair-like fibers that make them look fuller. Reviewers say it's a great swap for pricier brands like Glossier and Anastasia Beverly Hills.
Check it out in a quick makeup look from @mikaylanogueira, who succinctly describes Wow Brow as "the tinted brow gel that does the job."
Promising review: "This $4 product has replaced ALL of my high-end brow products. This is the most amazing brow stuff I’ve ever used. I don’t even have to fill in my brows because this has such great coverage. It’s a game changer!!" —Isabella
Get it from Amazon for $4, from Target for $5, or from Ulta for $5 (available in four shades).
4. JVN Air Dry Cream eliminates the arduous step of blow drying your hair — you can just apply this to wet hair, and it'll leave you with minimal frizz and enhance your natural waves or curls if you have them.
It's designed for all hair types and reviewers across the board mostly report a good experience with it, from users with fine, thin hair to coarse, curly strands. That said, JVN says it's especially good for people with frizzy, wavy, curly, or coily hair.
As someone who's never had the patience to blow dry their hair, I picked this air dry cream up after seeing its heat-free results in this TikTok from @flashesofstyle and reading all the positive reviews (plus, ya know, I feel like I'd trust Jonathan Van Ness with my hair). For context, I have extremely thin, fine hair that is mostly pretty straight. This air-dry cream has a really nice, silky consistency and smells like the salon (IDK how else to describe it, but it's a pleasant smell), and it doesn't make my hair feel greasy or crunchy after I've worked this through it. It definitely helps cut down on frizz and makes my hair feel really silky and healthy, even into the next day. If you don't have any natural wave to your hair, this isn't going to create that (at least not in my experience), so it makes sense that it's recommended for the hair types mentioned above. But even if you have straight, fine hair, if you don't already have a good leave-in conditioner, I'd still recommend this cream for its smoothing, hydrating benefits. A little goes a long way, and the bottle has a lot of product in it!
Promising review: "Smells amazing. This stuff is a nice-one step process for when you are feeling lazy or don’t wanna blow-dry. Keeps my waves and tames the frizz." —mmkile
Get it from Sephora for $24 or direct from JVN Hair for $24.
5. A budget-friendly alternative, Garnier Fructis Leave-in Conditioning Cream remains a long-standing favorite for its hair-smoothing, frizz-defying capabilities at *such* a low price — less than five bucks! It'll keep your hair sleek and hydrated for up to three days (even in high-humidity environments!), so that's three days you don't have to waste time washing, drying, and styling it.
Psst — you can use this on DRY hair too! Reviewers of all hair types, including 2a to 4c, swear by this stuff.
Promising review: "My super fine hair is always really frizzy with lots of fly-away hairs unless I flat-iron it and I don’t always have time. This stuff is a little miracle! I was scared to use a leave-in conditioner; I thought it would make my hair greasy. It does not; my hair stays clean the same amount of time as always. I have gotten a bunch of compliments on my hair since using it. And this product is a bargain, so inexpensive. It almost seems like it is priced wrong! Buy it now; it is an amazing product!" —Cindys Charms
Get it from Amazon for $2.97.
6. First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads make adding an *extra* step to your skincare routine less painful — just swipe one of these around your face after cleansing to tone, exfoliate, and brighten all at once. See, that wasn't so bad!
Some people even use these in place of cleaning when they can't be bothered to fully wash their face, so...there's that too. These pads are vegan, cruelty-free, and gluten-free.
Check them out in this TikTok from @mireyarios.
Promising review: "I love these! I have dry skin and I'm lazy. I hate having to exfoliate before I wear foundation, and this makes it so easy! No more going to the bathroom sink to use a scrub. I keep these in my makeup case and use it before my moisturizer and my foundation goes on smoothly! It's so gentle on my skin; it doesn't burn like some chemical exfoliators I've tried. Will definitely purchase again." —Shan3285
Get a 60-count jar from Amazon for $34.95 or from Sephora for $36 (also available in 28-count).
7. Too Faced Born This Way Concealer lets you skip foundation because really, who has the time? It's a lightweight, full-coverage formula that conceals, contours, highlights, *and* retouches all at the same time, significantly cutting the time spent on just getting your base ready.
Check it out in this TikTok from @missmonolids, who demonstrates a five-minute makeup routine using it.
Promising review: "I am lazy when it comes to makeup. I don't wear a lot of makeup and hate foundation. I like products that require little effort. Not only does this concealer do amazing job of coverage under my eyes and on my red cheeks, but also a little goes a long way. For someone like me who doesn't wear a lot of make up, a small amount provides an impressive amount of coverage." —snw17
Get it from Sephora for $30 (available in 19 shades) or from Ulta for $30 (available in 30 shades).
8. Lilac St. Original Lashes are meant to be worn for up to five (!) days, so if you hate putting on mascara every day and don't want to deal with professional extensions, these might just fit into your low-effort routine. These vegan, cruelty-free silk lash fibers have an ultra-thin band, adhere well, and look *super* wispy and natural.
Check out why these are a fave in this TikTok from @missy.hartung.
Promising review: "I love every style I’ve tried from Lilac St. I have subscribed to their monthly program now and will continue using these beautiful lashes for forever. I’ve tried almost every false lash system on the market and none are as beautiful, wispy, light, and affordable as Lilac St. Waking up looking like my eye makeup is done every morning is awesome!!! These save so much time and I don’t have to use mascara anymore! I love Lilac St." —heather
Get them from Amazon for $7 (available in four lengths).
9. An Aquis Lisse Luxe Hair Towel soaks up excess water without any damaging friction or heat *and* frees up your hands to do makeup or take care of other tasks in the mornings. It dries your hair about 50% faster than using a traditional towel or blow-dryer!
Promising review: "I’m surprised by how well this actually works! I truly have coarse, un-tame-able hair that I must half air-dry and then blow-dry — it’s a science. But this towel really helps the texture of my hair and helps it dry more quickly. Now I can put the towel on when I get out of the shower, then be blow-drying in 15 minutes. Cuts down 'handling' time when it comes to drying!" —Katie
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in two sizes and nine colors).
And read one BuzzFeed Shopping editor's Aquis hair towel review for more on how it cut her hair-drying time in half!
10. The Original MakeUp Eraser lets you quit the disposable wipes and other makeup removal products for good and live the dream of just-add-water makeup removal — yes, really! This reusable cloth breaks down even waterproof makeup, and once it's dirty, all you have to do is toss it in the wash. It doesn't get much simpler.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Danielle Healy says, "I bought one of these cloths after including it in previous posts, subsequently selling myself on it (hazard of the job). It honestly works better than I imagined! You really do just need to dampen it with water to have your makeup melting off in seconds. I think this is a great zero-waste option for people (like me) who don't wear a ton of makeup on the day-to-day, because you can get a lot of uses from this cloth without needing to washing it constantly. Plus, I just keep thinking how easy this will be to travel with since I always have a way of forgetting to pack makeup remover on trips."
Promising review: "I was sure this would never work. I use Lancôme eye makeup remover, a balm, and sudsy cleanser every night to remove my makeup. But apparently all I needed was this and water. I’m shocked and impressed! Even waterproof mascara was completely gone! I’m buying more right now." —hme011
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 11 colors) or from Sephora for $20 (available in two colors).
BTW, this is our mid-priced pick for the best makeup remover! You can also check out our full MakeUp Eraser review for more on why we *love* it.
11. Naked Sundays SPF 50 Clear Glow Radiant Sunscreen Serum was specifically designed to replace your serum, moisturizer, *and* primer, because mornings are hectic enough as it is. Not only does this make sure your sun protection is covered; it also hydrates and locks in moisture and helps maintain your collagen.
Clear Glow is non-comedogenic, oxybenzone-free, and fragrance-free, plus vegan and cruelty-free. Of course, you can layer this with other serums/moisturizers as well, but you don't neeeed to. It's suggested to wait about five minutes to let this sink in before applying makeup on top.
Naked Sundays is an Australia-based small beauty business launched in 2021 that revolves around all things SPF, creating products that help people incorporate sunscreen into their routine without the white cast, stickiness, or harsh smell.
I ordered Clear Glow after I saw it featured in this TikTok from @raziamoe, who uses sunscreen as their daily makeup primer. This serum is simply WONDERFUL. It has the loveliest, SILKIEST texture that just glides onto your skin, and you really only need one, maaaaybe two pumps per use. Like, I fully expect this bottle to last me a really long time. It's not heavy and it has a really nice satin finish that makes a great base for foundation if you wear it. And when they say there's *zero" white cast, they mean it — this stuff goes on totally clear. Also, the bottle is as gorgeous and high quality as it looks in photos. When I ordered mine, shipping took a while as it was coming from Australia, but there's a new US warehouse now that should make shipping faster (and def cheaper)!
Promising reviews: "Love this item! Have stopped using moisturizer in the morning and primer. It leaves a beautiful satin finish. Love to put it underneath my foundation on freshly cleansed skin." —Michelle W.
"I'm someone who has gone from never wearing sunscreen to freaking out if I haven't applied this glorious product under my makeup every morning! If you are like me and hate the feeling of a heavy sunscreen on your face, this magical serum will be your new best friend. Aside from keeping those pesky UV rays away from my face, it also hydrates and plumps the skin." —Melissa L.
Get it from Naked Sundays for $42.
12. An LED fog-less mirror is designed to be mounted in your shower so you can shave while letting conditioner soak in your hair, knocking out a couple of steps at once so you can be out the door faster in the mornings.
Promising review: "This deluxe shaving mirror saves me about 15 minutes in the morning. If you're anything like me, 15 minutes in the morning is like an hour in daytime hours. I really like not having to keep up with and apply the anti-fog sprays to the mirror, which only temporarily work (so I hear). Filling the back with water that goes in the back of the mirror only takes about 10 seconds and discarding the water after shaving takes about five seconds. Shaving in the shower with all the steam makes your shaving experience much closer and comfortable, I find. Like I said, when I wake up in the morning, I stumble to the shower FIRST. No more going to the sink, washing my face, shaving, AND THEN stumbling to the shower. Excellent way to start the day... and with much less stumbling, my chances are much greater in making it to work... LOL" —Nicholas
Get it from Amazon for $39.95.
13. Amika Dry Shampoo extends the period you can go in between hair washes by soaking up all that excess oil and dirt, refreshing your scalp, and giving you that ~volume~ so you don't have to resort to a ponytail by day three. A good dry shampoo is really an *essential* for busy days when you have approximately 10 seconds to spend on your hair.
Promising review: "I saw Amika on a list of best dry shampoos for dark, curly hair, and I'm so impressed. It's a bit spendy, but a little bit goes a long way. The scent is very light and sometimes hardly noticeable. It goes on completely sheer with no white cast and actually absorbs the oils so my hair is soft and shiny but not greasy-looking. My curls stay intact even with the rubbing in of the spray, so styling isn't limited to a ponytail anymore!" —Kelly Sobczak
Get it from Amazon for $10.
14. Nudestix Nudies Matte Blush & Bronze gives you a sun-kissed flush and can be applied to your eyelids and lips as well as your cheeks — no need to carry a different product for each step in the process. It blends easily with your fingers, but if you don't like hands-on blending, this clever multi-stick has a brush built into the other side of it!
Check it out in this TikTok from @victorialyn!
Nudestix are vegan, hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, gluten-free, and fragrance-free.
Promising review: "Amazing! It gives such a natural flush for my ultra fair skin, which is hard for me to find as everything shows almost comically brightly on my face. It’s blendable, it’s not too heavy. Perfect for no-makeup makeup days, I’ve found myself skipping contour now that I have this. I truly hope this is never discontinued because it is MAGIC." —Bare Back
Get it from Sephora for $34 (available in eight shades).
15. Ilia Multi-Stick is another multi-use makeup product TikTokers and celebs alike swear by — not only for its versatility but also for how natural and buildable it is. Swipe this on your cheeks and lips, then blend with your fingers and watch your skin come to ✨ life ✨. On days when you can't be bothered, this might just be all you need.
See it in the same TikTok as above from @victorialyn!
It's made with clean ingredients including nourishing shea butter, softening avocado oil, and protective yet breathable orange peel wax.
Promising review: "I have been lazy with my makeup routine as of lately, so having a multi-stick and not having to whip out a brush and brush has been so helpful. I like how I can just swipe this on my cheeks and rub in with my fingertips. It gives a beautiful flush to the cheek area. This product has no smell that I can tell, which I am happy for. I love that this product is clean and I can feel good about using it. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and well-made product that is not only good for the world, but good for the face." —Brittany0890
Get it from Amazon for $34 (available in six shades) or from Sephora for $34 (available in 12 shades and radiant or shimmer finishes).
16. Eyeshadow color removal sponges let you experiment with colorful eye looks without the pain of cleaning or switching between brushes for every color. Just rub your brush in this pan for a few seconds, and it'll be good to go for your next shade!
I picked up this color removal sponge from Amazon after hearing about this hack from @blendsbypouja on TikTok and can testify that it actually works SO well. I'm *so* bad about cleaning my brushes (I know...shameful) and this makes it super easy to clean a brush in a matter of seconds. So even if I'm trying to do a *slightly* more elaborate eyeshadow look for the day, this makes the process of switching colors as quick and painless as possible. Also, it's *super* lightweight, and I've already tossed it in my bag and brought it on vacation with me. This is one of those products I won't be traveling without in the future if I plan on doing eyeshadow at any point — and it means you only need to pack one or two eyeshadow brushes!
Promising review: "This product makes it even easier for me to be lazy when it comes to cleaning my brushes. It also allows me to use the same brush for a makeup look since I can swish away a previous shadow and move on to the next. Great buy. Super easy to wash. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, but when I do finally travel again, I'm sure this will be excellent to travel with and make it so that I only need to bring one or two brushes." —Azaleah Bumpus-Barnett
Get it from Amazon for $5.99.
17. A microfiber towel pillow cover means you can shower at night and collapse onto your pillow afterward without waiting up for your hair to dry or blow-drying it. It's ultra-absorbent and gentle so you wake up with dry, smooth, frizz-free hair that's already freshly clean so you don't have to factor a morning shower into your commute.
Kitsch is a woman-founded company that specializes in hair accessories and tools to make every day a good hair day!
Promising review: "This is a MUST-HAVE for people who shower at night and live in cold climates! I’m so happy my damp hair is able to dry when I’m laying down after a shower on a long day, and also having a soft towel protecting my face and my pillow. The leopard print is super cute too, and it matches my towel scrunchie that I use after my morning shower while getting ready for the day." —Kealani W
Get it from Amazon for $15.84+ or from Kitsch for $24 (available in three colors/patterns).
18. Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint applies easily with just your fingers, quickly evening out your skin tone with its intended blurring effect. The fact that it's buildable means you can easily achieve your desired level of coverage in one step, so you don't have to mess with other products on your laziest days.
Just note it doesn't have SPF, so you'll still want to use an SPF moisturizer or primer underneath this. It has more of a velvety finish, a nice alternative if you don't like a super dewy look.
Check out a "lazy girl" review of Eaze Drop in this TikTok from @missmonolids.
Promising review: "This is worth the hype. I wanted something like my Glossier tint but not dewy. This is THAT. It's your skin but better with a natural finish. It can look 'flat' sometimes but it's okay. I just use this for errand days so it's really forgivable. This is a 'lazy day, lazy girl' makeup. I like it!" —Forgive70x7
Get it from Sephora for $32 or direct from Fenty Beauty for $32 (available in 25 shades).
19. Subtl Beauty Lip and Cheek Tint comes infused with hydrating jojoba seed oil, giving it a creamy texture that blends and builds like a dream. Pop it on your lips, cheeks, and eyes to give yourself a rosy all-over glow in a matter of seconds — no one will guess one product did it all.
Subtl Beauty is a small business creating travel-friendly makeup essentials. Everything they create can be snapped together in a super-cool customizable stack.
Promising review: "Love. Love. Love. I'm obsessed with this cream for both my lips and cheeks. I've never thought I could use cream blush, but this stuff is gorgeous and long lasting even on my oily skin. It's beautiful on my lips and lasts a surprisingly long time." —Katy Shaw
Get it from Subtl Beauty for $14 (available in six colors).
20. Crave Naturals' Glide Thru Detangling Brush is capable of passing through those annoying tangles with ease, helping you brush out your strands without causing any pain. It makes the process fly by *much* faster so you can tame your mane and move on, minus any yanking, pulling, or tears.
Reviewers swear it works magic on all hair types, including 2c–4c. Plus, the brush works on both wet and dry hair!
Promising review: "I have thick, down to my butt long curly hair, so brushing has always been hell. Usually, I have to deep condition my hair, brush it out before I wash it (about a half hour), then brush it in the shower, and after my shower, to try and keep it manageable. I never thought that it would matter what brush I used for my hair because its just always been the same no matter what I use. BUT THIS BRUSH. Oh my gosh! It has cut my hair brushing time down from 45 minutes to about five! And the best part, is that I can even brush it when it's dry! It doesn't rip or tug, my hair doesn't get poofy or frizzy, and it just takes away my knots and leaves my curls. It is built really well, tough enough to withstand even my nutty hair! Doesn't have those awful little beads that rip off in your hair. This is a life-changer for me!" —Ryan Turner
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in six colors).
21. Nail wraps let you try out more elaborate designs without the high price of a professional mani *or* the effort of creating designs yourself. They apply easily and last for days, so you can go out and flaunt your ~fancy nails~ without anyone knowing how low-effort they actually are.
Check out a similar style in a TikTok from @thelifebath.
Promising review: "I find them easy to apply and long-lasting. I wear mine at least a week before changing and I could go longer; I just like to change it up every week. You need a base coat and top coat for them to last and it's better not to use a fast-drying top coat. I use Sally Hansen base and top coat and have no chipping or lifting. There is some tip wear after a few days but that happens to me with regular polish, also. It's also helpful to push back your cuticles before applying." —Susan Day
Get a pack of 16 sheets (224 pieces) from Amazon for $10.99 (available in two styles). You can also check out more nail wraps on Amazon here.
22. Kenra's Platinum Blow-Dry Spray not only protects your hair from heat and eliminates frizz after washing, but it *also* decreases blow-dry time by 50% so you have time to make that run to Starbucks before your 9 a.m. meeting.
Promising review: "I LOVE the smell of this! Bought it due to frizzing from coloring my hair, but really didn't believe that it shortened drying time. I mean, how can something putting moisture on you hair shorten the drying time, right? I was shocked. I don't know if it cut it down by 50%, but I did notice blow-drying my hair took quit a bit less time. I am sold on this stuff. Makes my hair feel like silk, but not greasy (I was worried about it making my hair greasy) and it takes only a few sprays to get the results. I hold it about 15 inches from my head and spray the top, both sides, and the back once, then rub it in with my hands. Perfect!" —Janice C. Henderson
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three sizes and two-packs).
23. Alleyoop's Pen Pal will have memories flooding back of clicking those fun multi-color pens back in elementary school — but it's more than just a nostalgia kick. This 4-in-1 clicky pen is actually an eyeliner, lip liner, brow pencils, and highlighter all in one, making it all you need for a quick and easy makeup look and for on-the-go touch-ups.
BuzzFeed Shopping writer Jasmin Sandal says, "I didn't realize I'd ever use a makeup product in my 20s that had the ability to transport me back to a piece of stationery I used in sixth grade, but here we are; and here I am using a multitool pen...for my face. I gotta say, I love the concept of the Pen Pal from Alleyoop! After using all of the functions (eyeliner, highlighter, lip liner, eyebrow pencil) and as someone who LOVES makeup but was applying as little as humanly possible during lockdown, I think it’s a great tool for anyone looking to streamline their routine. It's ideal to use for touch-ups come the end of the work day, or a subtle, minimalist way to apply makeup in the a.m. The brow pencil is particularly soft and pigmented, and filled in my eyebrows quickly. I just adore the ease of application of each product, and appreciate the universal, does-it-all-for-you concept. Plus, it saves me so much room in my already-overflowing makeup bag!"
Get it from Alleyoop for $25 (available in three shades).
24. The Clinique Contour Stick lets you just swipe on your contour anywhere you want it, then blend it out to add subtle depth and definition to your face. This style comes in a blush too if you want to add some color on top!
Check it out in this TikTok from @sophiemariegraf.
Promising review: "I love the idea of makeup but don't actually like putting it on. So when I wanted to take a stab at contouring I steered clear of the intense kits and palettes out there. This is the perfect contouring stick for the lazy girl who just wants a quick swipe with a big difference. Highly recommend this for other lazy girls like me." —AnamL
Check it out in this TikTok from @sophiemariegraf.
25. Live Tinted Huestick Corrector uses orange pigments to counterbalance blue and purple found in dark circles, spots, and hyperpigmentation — put this on underneath your concealer and watch them ~vanish~. This 4-in-1 multi-stick *also* delivers gorgeous color to your eyes, lips, and cheeks, so just pick this back up after foundation (if you wear it) to finish the job, and you're done!
Live Tinted was founded by Deepica Mutyala, who first went viral for her red lipstick hack for under-eye circles in 2015. The Huestick was the first product the company launched, making waves as the first multi-stick with clean ingredients to also balance out dark circles and spots. It's made with hyaluronic acid, squalane, and vitamins C and E.
Check out the "Rise" shade in this TikTok from @victorialyn. You can also see a demo from Deepica herself with the "Origin" shade in this Instagram post (swipe right to see it)!
Promising reviews: "I'll admit, I was totally skeptical of these Huesticks. I am 34-years-old, of Sri Lankan descent (medium to deep tan skin) and I've NEVER been good at makeup. I was excited to try these Huesticks, made by and vouched for by a fellow South Asian, but was worried it would look like I was ACTUALLY wearing makeup. I was pleasantly surprised after using Rise under my eyes and around my mouth, blending with a BeautyBlender and then using my same amount of cc cream and powder foundation. You really still can't tell I'm wearing makeup. I even asked my BF if he could see the orange 'glow' under my eyes before I put on the cc cream and he couldn't see it! It really was color correcting!" —Reviewer
"I love this pencil. I'm fair and cool-toned and got the peachy pink color. I've previously used other rose pink under eye correctors and brighteners that are pretty good, but the peachy tone and the texture of the pencil are the best I've found. I just pat some concealer over top and it covers my dark circles beautifully. Will repurchase for sure!" —NickiName
Get it from Ulta for $24 (available in five shades).
26. E.l.f. Glossy Lip Stain is for people who don't want to keep reapplying lipstick every time they put on a mask, have a drink, or eat some food. It goes on as a gloss, and if you blot away the excess, you'll be left with a long-lasting stain that's both beautiful and transfer-resistant.
Check out the Cinnamon Dreamz shade in this TikTok from @missmonolids.
Promising review: "This is the first E.l.f. lip product I've tried. I was so impressed that I immediately returned to get other colors. Cinnamon Dreamz is a perfect brown. I appreciate how easy it is to apply a light coat for a lighter shade or use a heavier hand to deepen the shade. It also wears down to leave a hint of color on my lips. A huge plus is that there's no fragrance or funky taste. Killer product!!!" —AutumnM
"The color stayed all day! I was so impressed with how well the stain worked, through several cups of coffee and wearing a mask all day. I will continue to repurchase this over and over!" —Stephm516
Get it from Target for $6 or direct from E.l.f. for $6 (available in eight shades).
27. Glossier Cloud Paint has long been a cult-favorite in the beauty community, and tons of self-proclaimed lazy makeup wearers swear by it. That's because it goes on *so* easily using your fingers and blends to give you the softest, most natural-looking flush. You can even pick it up in a slightly darker shade and use it as contour too!
Check out how easily it's applied in this TikTok from @missmonolids. Psst — you can also check out our Glossier Cloud Paint review for more on why it's a dream for anyone who doesn't like to spend long on their makeup.
Promising reviews: "If you are fair like I am, Cloud Paint in Dusk is like Contouring for Dummies. I just swipe some into the hollows of my cheeks and pat until it's blended, and voila! A contoured face for the girl who has never contoured in her life and certainly doesn't have the patience to do so. The final touch is Puff on the tops of the apples of my cheeks and I've managed to finger paint my face into looking well-rested and sculpted." —Faith
"Listen, I am a LAZY makeup wearer, L-A-Z-Y. I have mountains of blushes and I never wear any of them, I really wanted something that was quick (brush free). I bought this in Beam and I love it; it is bright, happy and a bit peach-orange. I think it is great for summer, and it is so easy to apply. I definitely want at least one more (or every) shade. If you are trying to work something simple into your routine, pick this up — it is not heavy or over the top and it literally lasts on my face from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m." —Mc K.
Get it from Glossier for $20 (available in eight shades).
28. Persona Super Blush can be used as both a blush and bronzer to contour and color your cheeks — *plus* it further helps minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines (unlike some blushes, which can just emphasize them). This overachiever deserves a spot in your (very small) makeup bag.
It's also used in this TikTok from @missmonolids with the Too Faced concealer above.
Promising review: "This blush color is so pretty on me, I have medium olive skin tone for reference. It is very pigmented but blends so effortlessly. It is one of the best blush formulas I have ever tried; it never looks patchy whatsoever. There is a slight sheen (not shimmery or glittery), which gives such pretty glow to the cheeks. Highly recommend!!! I'm usually too lazy to write a review for anything but I wanted to let everyone know how good this blush is." —Bree20
Get it from Ulta for $22 (available in three shades) or direct from Persona for $22 (available in four shades).
29. An adjustable hair dryer holder makes it so that you can easily dry the back and sides of your hair while brushing it out, because trying to do both at once when you haven't even had your coffee yet is just a nightmare. It also gives you a handy place to store your blow-dryer and keep it easily accessible.
It's also helpful if you just have trouble holding up a blow-dryer for long periods of time, have limited mobility, or have had surgery on your shoulder or wrist.
Bestie Brands is a small business started by a hairstylist to help their grandmother dry their hair after having a stroke. You can either screw the mount into the wall or use suction cups for a more temporary solution.
Promising review: "I wish I found this product sooner, I would have saved so many hours. It cut my hair blow-dry time from 30 minutes to 12 minutes. I'm also able to do my makeup while my hair is drying. I also love how light it is and how easily it sticks anywhere I'd like. It's very secure and fits almost every size blow-dryer. I've been recommending this product to all my friends and family. I highly recommend this amazing product to anyone wants to get a professional blowout quickly without spending too much time, and most importantly, without your arms getting tired." —Mariya
Get it from Amazon for $34.95.
30. Beautycounter Cream Blush is a versatile option if you're trying to incorporate more clean beauty into your arsenal. You can apply it to your cheeks, lips, and eyelids for a silky pop of color in one step — and once it's used up, you can pop the pan out of the compact (made of 100% recycled resin) and just order refills to reduce waste.
See it applied in this TikTok from @kennedyeclark.
Promising review: "I have never used a cream blush before, but I don’t wear a ton of makeup anymore and I wanted to try this out. It’s a dream to work with and blends out perfectly!!! I’m really happy I took the plunge to try something new because it’s my new go-to!" —Cassandra D.
Get it from Beautycounter for $42 (available in eight shades).
