Imagine a world without makeup tools. Scary, right? I'm sure we could probably survive -- use your fingers instead of an eyeshadow brush, heat a spoon to curl your lashes, and leave your brows bushy and full. Your face wouldn't miss what it never had, plus these celebrities show that sometimes being tweezer-less is a good thing.

Like I said, we could probably survive. But who are we kidding? If you're reading this, you probably agree -- makeup tools are the best invention since sliced bread. (Or if carbs aren't your thing, they could be the best invention since … YouTube.) Makeup tools include pretty much everything you can think of, from simple tools like the foundation brush to more complicated ones like the eyelash curler.

You most likely have that one tool you can't live without, depending upon your makeup preferences. If you've got long lashes, a lash comb is probably a lifesaver when it comes to applying mascara. Love eyeliner? The variety of eyeliner brushes on the market can help you easily create a wide range of looks. Or if you're more of a bold lip gal, then a good lip brush is essential. Whatever your favorite may be, the following makeup tools have readers united: they are simply the best.
