The Drugstore Products Makeup Artists Can't Live Without

Fran Wilson Eye Tees Precision Makeup Applicators

These souped-up versions of the classic cotton swab are made for makeup. They're pointed on one end—for cleaning up around the eyes and lip lines—and rounded at the other—for blending and shading shadows and blushes. They're also perfect for touch-ups, like erasing midday eye shadow creases or smoothing brows (with a dab of Vaseline). And they never leave any cotton fuzzies in their wake.
