The Drugstore Beauty Buy That Fixes Minor Makeup Errors
E.L.F. Makeup Remover Pen, $3

This makeup remover pen is like the Tide to Go of the beauty world: A must-have in your purse at all times, as you never know when makeup mayhem (or, in Tide to Go's case, wine spillage) will strike. The clear formula easily removes small makeup mistakes, as well as mascara flakes and runny eyeliner, and is infused with conditioning vitamin E, cucumber and chamomile.

The Luxe Makeup Remover That's Perfect for Travel
Givenchy Mister Perfect Instant Makeup Eraser High Definition, $31

Some people prefer to fly sans makeup -- seeing as how I refuse to go to the gym without a bit of mascara on, I clearly don't fall into this category. Anyone who travels (whether it's a plane ride or road trip) with makeup on knows that, if you fall asleep, it's bound to get messed up. That's why this luxe little guy is a lifesaver, and always finds its way into my carry-on. Made with skin-soothing fig extract and a cleanser derived from coconut, it brushes away any smudges, creases or smears that may occur while you were snoozing.

It conveniently comes with three spare tips, should you be especially prone to makeup mistakes (or spontaneous naps).

The Non-Irritating Makeup Remover Pen for the Perfect Cat Eye
Océane Makeup Remover Pen, $5.40

This toss-in-your-purse-and-go pen can fix just about any makeup blunder on your eyes, big or small -- it's precise enough to make your cat eye sharper, but also stands up to the task of smeared mascara. The non-irritating, fragrance-free liquid makeup remover that comes out of the tip makes it easier than ever to get your cat eye even on both sides (a noble cause, indeed).

The Beauty Bag Staple That Makes Touch-Ups So Much Easier
Almay Oil Free Makeup Eraser Sticks, $6.49

If you simply can't find a mascara that doesn't flake halfway through the day or you have oily lids that cause eyeliner to smear up to your crease by lunchtime, these makeup remover-filled sticks may just change your life. Keep them in your purse for convenient touch-ups. (Also, the oil-free formula makes them ideal for removing eyeliner without ruining your lash extensions.)

The Makeup Remover That Helps With a Botched Application
Prestige Cosmetics Makeup Eraser Pen, $8.99

Anyone who has watched E!'s "Botched" (where two plastic surgeons fix people's, yes, botched plastic surgeries) knows that even terrible, seemingly irreversible plastic surgeries can be made better -- the same can be said for royally effed-up eyeliner applications. While this pen won't help you with your uneven boob job, the slanted, precise tip is perfect for fixing mistakes like, say, you overdid it on your eyeliner and made it too thick near your inner eye, or you swiped on mascara a little too enthusiastically and got it all over your eyelid. Even better: The tip is reversible, so you simply flip it over when one side dries out.
