September 20, 2019

Ask any makeup artist or skincare junkie, we use a variety of beauty tools in day-to-day life to enhance our looks. But there are some weird beauty tools that are a bit different from the old classics. These weird beauty tools may be strange but they are helpful and handy for applying cosmetic products.

Here are some weird beauty tools from around the world and what they are used for.

Eyebrow Stencils

To get your eyebrows on fleek and on point, you may decide to use a brow brush or brow gel. However, you can use eyebrow stencils (also known as a brow buddy) which not only help you to color in your brows without causing any smudges, but also allow your eyebrows to shape up.

Mascara Shield/Guard

If you love applying mascara to enhance your lashes but you’re fed up of getting smudges on your eyelids or under your eyes, then using a mascara shield or guard is the perfect little hack. Just slide it over or under your eyelashes before applying your mascara.

Nail Stencils

Avoid getting nail polish smudges around your fingernails and toenails with nail stencils. With these, they catch the polish so that it doesn’t go on your skin, meaning that you can create perfectly painted nails.

Lip Stamps

Put a stamp to your pout with this nifty tool, which you can use to apply your favorite lipgloss or liquid lipstick. One thing you could try with the lip stamp is to use to add glitter or shimmer to your lips to make your lips really stand out.

Curl Styling Brush

This is quite a popular alternative to using a hot curling wand because it’s pretty effective. Use this tool to comb through your hair and create defined curls. To keep the curls in place, use a hold-in hairspray.

Brush Cleaning Glove

We all know how important it is to wash our brushes and makeup blends often and the brush cleaning glove can certainly give you a hand with that. Put on the glove, apply a makeup cleanser to the brush or blender, then gently rub against the brush. With this glove, you can effectively remove all traces of makeup and keep your makeup brushes and blenders clean and germ-free.

Facial Sponge

Exfoliation is key when it comes to skincare, and a facial sponge is the perfect component for cleansing your skin. If you don’t have this as part of your routine then be sure to include it. When used with your go-to cleanser and facial wash, the facial sponge removes impurities and keeps your complexion radiant.

Pumice Stone

If you’re sick and tired of constantly dealing with dead skin at the feet, scrub it away using a pumice stone. Found in many drugstores and beauty shops, the pumice stone clears and buffs away dead skin at the feet to keep your feet soft and smooth.

Eyelash Curler

The eyelash curler is not the weirdest or unusual to many of us beauty fanatics. This became a popular trend a few years ago in the beauty world and it’s the perfect way to curl your lashes and to make them stand out as part of your eye makeup look. Use before applying mascara to accentuate and volumize your lashes.

Eyeliner Stamp

Creating the perfect winged liner can be a bit of a challenge but with an eyeliner stamp, you can create the winged liner in an instant with no mess.

Beauty Spoon

Waste not, want not! With a beauty spoon, you can scoop up every last drop of your favorite lotion, shampoo, conditioner or oil from the bottom of the bottle without any of it going to waste.

False Eyelash Glue Applicator

Extending your lashes with false lashes is a great way to make your eyes stand out, but applying false eyelashes can be tricky. With a false eyelash glue applicator, you can apply false eyelashes easily with a tension-free grip.

Hair Curlers

If you want to curl your hair without using heat, then hair curlers are a really good alternative. Hair curlers are a popular hair styling tool and a cheaper alternative to curling wands and curling brushes and they will give your hair defined curls.

Sheet Mask

A sheet mask will make your face look like something out of a scary movie, but they are really good as part of a skincare routine and pamper routine. Sheet masks are good for cleansing your face, removing impurities and keeping your complexion clear.

Facial Roller
