You have enough to worry about on any given day -- "Is this crop top office-appropriate?" "Did Kimye really deserve that Vogue cover?" -- that getting prettified every morning should not be one of them. Put your beauty routine on auto-pilot with these seriously smart beauty products whose innovative packaging take all the guesswork and fuss out of getting gorgeous.
Do you remember a time before Cara D and Lily C? It was a time when plucking or getting a wax were the only prerequisites for beautiful brows. These days, it's all about walking that fine line between bold and bushy territory. This means having your tweezers, spoolie brush, eyebrow gel, liner and pencil on-hand to channel your inner Delevingne. Luckily this need for model brows has also sparked ingenious and adorable brow kits.

Even if you're using your delicate ring finger to apply eye serum to the super sensitive areas around your lids, too much rubbing can break capillaries. These pocket-friendly eye serums, however, come with a cooling roller ball that lightly massages the sensitive eye area. Better yet, their formulas contain caffeine to encourage blood vessels to constrict and get rid of any excess liquid (aka that puffiness) and soothing agents like aloe vera to give your tired eyes a treat.

Unless you're über-organized, fishing out the brush you need for your brows, your liner, your lips and your shadow usually means at least a five-minute excavation into the depths of your makeup bag before you turn it upside down and watch your cosmetics fall to the floor. Instantly feel like your life is (somewhat) put together with products whose brushes are built into their packaging so the two are never parted again.
