Ecotools Kabuki Brush ($8)

All of these products are affordable—but they sure don't look cheap. (And they don't feel or smell cheap, either.) Best of all, their high-end formulas mean that none of them scrimp on results.

The synthetic bristles retract into a recycled aluminum case, which won't pop open in your handbag and stays put when you set it on the counter.
