We all strive for that #nofilter (but filter) kind of vibe when it comes to applying our makeup, but how do you ensure that kind of immaculate finish at all times without some serious black magic? With the right tools, of course.

I'll admit I find a good number of my brush recommendations (and other beauty buys) on TikTok, but that can be a pretty overwhelming place if you don't know where to look. There are also so many incredible makeup artists on other platforms who have recommendations that are just as outstanding. Basically, there are plenty of places to lead a buzzy-makeup-tool investigation, but luckily for you, that won't be necessary this time around.

To help you sift through the noise, I've rounded up all the best makeup tools and gadgets loved by makeup artists and consumers alike that ensure a flawless finish, every time. Keep scrolling for everything from foundation brushes to airbrush tools to eyebrow-sculpting wizards.
