Today, getting spruced up and groomed is not as easy as a mere cleanser and water. Various trials and innovations have resulted in fancy thingamajigs that have found a permanent spot on our vanities. With a good set of tools at our disposal, getting ready for early morning meetings and appointments will be far more seamless and time saving.<\/p>

However, it is never pleasant being inundated with a plethora of beauty devices and the next best thing propping up every other week. While it may be a difficult task to maneuver through the clutter and unearth the cr\u00e8me of the crop, the team at Marie France Asia<\/strong> has it all figured out!<\/p>

From makeup brushes to high-tech cleansing tools, here are 5 beauty tools you absolutely should own in your kit.<\/p>

1. Sigma Brushes Essential Kit<\/span> <\/h2>

\"SigmaEssentialKit_USD155\"<\/span><\/a><\/p>

A good set of brushes will change your entire concept of applying makeup. No more messy strands falling off from brushes or scratchy strands that only serves to irritate the skin. Sigma brushes<\/a> have been revered for their soft bristles and quality that feel like luxurious strokes against your skin.<\/p>

With makeup brushes, you\u2019ll be able to attain a flawless foundation finish, blush with a blurred-effect and smoky eyes done with perfection.<\/p>

Tip:<\/strong> Invest in an essential kit and clean out brushes regularly to keep them free from makeup residue.<\/p>

Available online at Luxola <\/a>(approx. USD155)<\/em><\/p>

2. The Makeup Guard Card<\/span> <\/h2>

\"MakeupGuardCard_USD9\"<\/span><\/a><\/p>

Ever wondered how makeup artists could draw on eyeliner with such precision? At times you thought they have some fancy fine line or precision based liners while at other times you resigned to the fate that they have deft hands and you don\u2019t.<\/p>

Well, here comes the tool of the trade:\u00a0The Makeup Guard Card<\/a>. This magic of a card is an impressive tool to draw on perfect and even liner and capture fallout while applying eye shadows. Made of a TPE-Styrene blend, the guard card is rounded without any sharp edges and even has measurements to ensure your liner goes on with symmetric precision.<\/p>

Tip:<\/strong> Keep it clean by using a makeup remover wipe.<\/p>

Available online <\/a>(approx. USD9)<\/em><\/p>

3. Beauty Blender<\/span> <\/h2>

\"beauty-blender-USD24\"<\/span><\/a><\/p>

If you were already a fan of the stippling foundation brush then the beauty blender would be its flawless partner in crime. The beauty blender<\/a>\u2019s egg shape means that you could use the round bottom to quickly dab on foundation or the skinny tip to target small areas around your eyes. (Read our full review of the Beauty Blender here<\/a>).<\/p>

Tip:<\/strong> Wet the beauty blender with water and squeeze out the excess before applying foundation or concealer.<\/p>

Available online at Luxola <\/a>(approx. USD24)<\/em><\/p>

4. Clarisonic Mia Skin Cleansing System<\/span> <\/h2>

Ever thought anything could be better than manual cleansing? The Clarisonic Mia Cleansing Brush<\/a> sure is! The sonic-based brush unclogs pores while still being gentle on the face and boosting circulation. In fact, the product acts as a mild exfoliator, thereby better prepping the skin for moisturizers.<\/p>

Touted as the \u2018electronic toothbrush\u2019 for your face, the Clarisonic is a small price to pay for radiant and clear skin in less than 60 seconds. How\u2019s that for efficient and timesaving?<\/p>

Tip:<\/strong> You may even use the Clarisonic to effectively remove makeup.<\/p>

Available at Sephora outlets (approx. USD125)<\/em><\/p>

5. Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler<\/span> <\/h2>

\"ShuUemuraEyelashCurlar_USD20\"<\/span><\/a><\/p>

You may think curlers are all built the same but there is something different about Shu Uemura<\/a>\u2019s version that has gained an iconic status in the beauty world. Makeup artists swear by it.<\/p>

Its frame length and ergonomic handles aid in delivering just the right amount of pressure. Also, the mushroom-shaped silicone pad ensures that your lashes are perfectly curled with as little tugging done on those fragile peepers.<\/p>

Tip:<\/strong> Always curl your lashes before applying mascara.<\/p>

Available at Shu Uemera counters and stores<\/a> (approx. USD20)<\/em><\/p>
