Soothing roller ball eye serums
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.

Try:
Clinique All About Eyes Serum, $28
Olay Fresh Effects Bright On Schedule Eye Awakening Cream, $10.97
Garnier Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller, $9.99
First Aid Beauty Detox Eye Roller , $24

Built-in brushes
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.

Try:
Benefit The POREfessional Agent Zero Shine , $30
Cailyn Cosmetics Gelux Eyebrow, $22

Eyeliners for idiots
Step into the 21st century and swap your traditional pencils for a self-sharpening one. Sharpeners are built into the cap, so every time you twist the top off, you're greeted by a freshly shaved point. All you have to focus on is steadying your hand and drawing a smooth, straight line. Liquid eyeliner more your poison? Eliminate your shaky hand woes with a dot liner that gets liner right into your lashline for a foolproof line.

Try:
Smashbox Always Sharp Waterproof Kohl Liner, $20
Clarins 3-Dot Liner, $26
