When everyone is unique, why is it that we have so little variation in our makeup tools? Eyes come in every shape and size, yet we're all stuck using the same mascara brushes and eyeliner pens - until now, that is. Four beauty brands have dared to break the mould by creating revolutionary products that give you an individualised and flexible makeup applicator. Say goodbye to uneven eyeliner and smudged mascara, and hello to innovative tools that will change the way you do your makeup.


The Bendy Eyeliner: Lancome Grandiose Liner

Bend the rules with this new precision eyeliner. It comes with a wand that can be bent at two different positions to give you better access to the roots of your lashes. Its ultra fine brush can draw anything from a thin line to a sharp winged tip. The highly-pigment formula gives a dark, matte finish, giving lashes an instantly thicker and longer appearance.

Pump up the mascara volume, whatever your eye shape. This innovative product has a customisable curved brush applicator. With a quick twist of the wand, the brush arc can be adjusted to fit the your eye shape, stretching and coating your lashes with mascara from the inner to the outer corners. The result is a personalised application to achieve your desired style, volume, and length. The strong-hold dark black mascara formula keeps the curl in place to add the “Ooh” to your “La-Lashes”!


The Brush-Free Mascara Wand: Hourglass Curator Lash Instrument

Level up your lash-game with the Hourglass stainless steel lash instrument. This is the first of its kind: a mascara wand without a brush or bristles! How does it do it, you ask? With high precision threading and a steel tip cut at a 40 degree angle. This unique instrument has been engineered to completely coat the lashes without clumping, and deposits product at the very base of your lashes for a sophisticated, tight-lined effect. An added bonus: this tool is designed not just for use with the Hourglass Curator Mascara, there’s a Curator Primer formula, too.


The Eyelid Cover: Tweezerman No Mess Mascara Guard

Get to the root of the problem with the No Mess Mascara Guard. It works by isolating the lash line for easy, smudge-free makeup application on the roots of your lashes. This ergonomically designed tool can be used on the upper and lower lashes to guard the surrounding area from unsightly brush streaks as you sweep mascara on. Tatler tip: This works well for false lash application, too. No more glue stuck on your fingertips!
