5 beauty tools you ought to have by your side

Beauty tools have evolved past tweezers, lash curlers and brushes. Now you can sculpt, style and blend like a pro with these new-school, high-tech beauty tools. Get ready to elevate your at-home beauty game.
Blend like a pro: Juno sponge
There are so many makeup sponges in the market, some great and many, many not-so-great, but the Juno is in a league of its own. Gone are the days when half your (expensive) foundation got absorbed into the makeup sponge or brush. The Juno is a sponge encased in a micro velvet layer that allows an airbrushed finish without having to waste foundation. It's much easier to clean than other sponges, plus the design allows it to sit up on its own. No more mess! The biggest bonus is it's budget-friendly.

Conceal like a pro: Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away Concealer
They should have called this one the Magic Wand Concealer, as it literally makes dark circles disappear. It is more than just a concealer. It's an all-in-one tool with a mini applicator sponge to make applying and blending concealer easy and flawless. No brushes required.

Style like a Pro: Cloud 9 Waving Wand
Another magic wand, but this one is to tame your tresses. If you're looking for that big bouncy blowdry curl finish or loose, beachy, Victoria's Secret model-look, the Cloud 9 Waving Wand is the answer. Simple to use and heat-controlled (goodbye damaged locks!), this will have you looking picture perfect in no time.

Sculpt like a Pro: NuFace
Described as a natural, non-invasive facelift, the NuFace Facial Toning device is a secret weapon in facial sculpting and anti-ageing. Award-winning and with proven results, it uses microcurrent technology to lift and contour your face while giving a younger, more radiant appearance. If you prefer natural cosmetic options, the NuFace is for you and it can be used in as little as five minutes a day. The handheld size also makes it travel-friendly.

See like a Pro:  Riki Skinny Mirror
Good lighting truly is the key to applying makeup flawlessly and professional lighting is no longer just for makeup artists and photographers. You can now have industry-level lighting in a slim, lightweight package with the Riki mirror from GlamCor. It has ultra bright, built-in LED lights with Bluetooth function and dimmer control. It is ideal for your vanity or for travel (no more worrying about poorly-lit hotel rooms). For the social media lovers, it also allows you to attach your phone to it to film makeup videos or take the perfect selfie.
