Beauty junkies, get ready to transform your routines. We tested the most popular cult-classic beauty products designed to cut your primp time in half, and we've dubbed these the best of the best. There are so many beauty hacks, tips, and tricks we know and love, but we really love a product (or 10) that'll truly make our lives easier. Hit the snooze button a few more times by incorporating our top 10 beauty hacks that'll seriously elevate your beauty game.
Hack 1: Stamp on the perfect winged liner.
Use: The Vamp Stamp Kit, $38.25
Craving a cat eye with an unsteady hand? Flicking on the perfect wing is a skill that takes serious practice to perfect. Even the pros need a little help sometimes, which is why we're absolutely obsessed with The Vamp Stamp. Available in a range of sizes, from kitten to large, this stencil allows you to cheat your way to the perfect wing. Simply dip in the ink (or your preferred liquid liner), and plant it right next to your lash line. Just make sure you have a trusty eyeliner brush on hand to connect the rest of your eyeliner across the lid. Voila!
Hack 2: Skip the lash glue with magnetic falsies.
Use: Ardell Magnetic Lashes, $11.88
We love a good eyelash adhesive (like Duo!), but the lash application process can be intimidating, especially for beginners. Ardell removes the tacky stuff completely with these game-changing magnetic false lashes. Simply sandwich your natural lashes between the two magnetized lash strips, and you have instant volume that'll transform your look. Take a peek at the photo above to see the difference!
Hack 3: Fake fuller hair with these fibers.
Use: Hush Fill Seeker Plumping Hair Fibers, $45
We feel so #blessed to have Hush, a newbie on the beauty block, in our lives and beauty bags. Not only are we now stocked up on the brand's temporary color sprays to live our festival-filled lives this summer, but we're also faking fuller strands with these innovative hair fibers. Hair loss can be traumatic, and these plumping fibers instantly densify your hair to disguise any patches or weak spots. The powdery fibers spray out easily with the attached pump applicator, so you can add as much or as little as you like to any area. Even if you don't suffer from thinning hair, you might want to enhance your hairline just a bit, and this product is perfect for it. Like its popular color sprays, these fibers shampoo out in just one wash!

Hack 4: Fix your broken makeup with this magical mousse.
Use: Moon Mousse Makeup Repair, $15
Did someone say there's a magical potion to fix our favorite broken powder compact? It's true! Moon Mousse is a game-changer that allows you to repair your shattered pressed powder cosmetics in a matter of hours. To witness the magic, just press the crumbled product back together using one of the included plastic stamping tools, swirl on one pump of Moon Mousse, and let the product sit. In a matter of hours, the product will dry, leaving color pigments looking fresh as new. The Moon Mousse formula is vegan, cruelty-free, and all-natural, so you can rest assured that you aren't adding any unnecessary toxins to your favorite powder products as you repair them.
Hack 5: Save time with multitasking makeup.
Use: NARS The Multiple, $39
All hail NARS The Multiple. This beloved tube of creamy, pigmented goodness works on eyes, lips, and cheeks for a seriously swift application if you're short on time in the morning. Even better? The shades are so versatile, they work on any complexion. Don't believe us? Swipe through to see what the Riviera shade looks like on three different skin tones!
Hack 6: Speed up your mani with this quick-drying spray.
Use: Demert Nail Enamel Dryer, $10.27
Who says classic beauty staples should be salon-exclusive? This iconic quick-dry nail spray, a longtime resident of your local nail salon, works just as well in your at-home mani zone. Simply mist on a healthy dose after painting your fingertips, and get on with your life in record time! Infused with organic protein and mink oil, it nourishes your cuticles as it cuts down on drying time.
Hack 7: Effortlessly swipe away those fly-aways.
Use: IGK Swipe-Up No Frizz Wipes, $18
We were pleasantly surprised when we discovered IGK's Swipe Up Wipes! Similar to a dryer sheet infused with IGK's amazing hair magic, these handy hemp-paper wipes weightlessly reduce static and frizz. They smooth your strands with a blend of avocado and camellia oils to calm static and protect your hair from humidity. Just throw a few in your bag and you're good to go!

Hack 8: Mix essential oils with your foundation to treat as you tint.
Use: Young Living Grapefruit Essential Oil, $26.27
We're big essential oil fans here at Best Products. A trick we love is skipping the carrier oil and incorporating the essential oils in products we're already using, like foundation or even a moisturizer. Just a few drops go a long way! You can add directly to the bottle, or create a little cocktail on a daily basis if you want to try it out before you commit to adding to your full foundation. We love a little lavender or grapefruit oil to improve skin tone and texture throughout the day. If you're still a little hesitant about adding a full-strength essential oil to your makeup, try a skincare blend like the Image Vital C Hydrating Oil.
Hack 9: Catch eyeshadow fallout as you brighten dark circles.
Use: Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks, $25
There's a reason these eye masks constantly fly off the shelves at Sephora. They're our absolute favorite eye masks, and we love to use them in conjunction with one of our favorite beauty hacks. Pop these babies under your eyes before you blend out your eye makeup, and you can perfect that smokey eye with no fear of fallout! The Baggage Claim masks will catch any stray pigment and work wonders to brighten and tighten your skin underneath.
Hack 10: Get the last bit of product with this handy spatula.
Use: Spatty Spatula, $7.99
No need to waste precious product! We depend on the Spatty to help us scrape out every last bit of our favorite products. This 6-inch sturdy tool, made of dishwasher-safe material, is flexible enough to get in almost any cosmetic container to get the goods. You'll end up saving money by not replenishing your beauty products as often. Now you can use your beauty staples down to the last drop. Thanks, Spatty!
