These Are the 16 Best Beauty Tools You Can Buy From Amazon

While each product featured is independently selected by our editors, we may include paid promotion. If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission. Read more about our Product Review Guidelines here.

Beauty tools and gadgets — whether you're talking about a blow-dry brush or an electric toothbrush — are meant to help make our lives easier. The one-stop-shop that is Amazon is also meant to help make our lives easier (especially when it comes to next-day shipping). Combine the two and things just got a heck of a lot more convenient for you. Amazon is the perfect destination for hard-to-find tools, nifty products that'll have you wondering how on earth you ever lived without them, and in some cases, tools that you may only enjoy a few times (thanks to those late-night, wine-filled purchases) but have no regrets about. You can find hundreds of brands with prices that are often hard to beat on other sites. And better yet, there's no need to hunt for the reviews; you can even filter your search for the best reviewed products that fellow beauty enthusiasts are loving.

But similar to a lot of beauty products, you may want to test and trial before buying. And beauty tools can be even more of a challenge as they're hard to test even in brick-and-mortar stores. While Amazon certainly doesn't resolve this issue, it does offer an endless choice of products at your fingertips and extensive reviews that can be delivered within 24 hours with a guaranteed returns policy. But no one likes returning products, so that's where we come in. We've done the hard work in finding the best beauty tools on Amazon that our editors now can't live without (which are equally loved in the reviews.)

So whether you're looking for a beauty tool to satisfy your skincare experimenting, or the tool that'll finally give you the hair of your dreams, you'll be spoilt for choice with Amazon's wonderful (and sometimes weird) offerings.

Neutrogena Visibly Clear Light Therapy Targeted Acne Spot Treatment

If you're looking for something else to incorporate into your skincare routine to help treat your acne, Neutrogena Visibly Clear Light Therapy Targeted Acne Spot Treatment (£9) might be a worthy investment. The blue light kills acne-causing bacteria while the red light helps reduce inflammation, which can make acne worse. When used in conjunction with a good skincare routine, it can be beneficial to help target specific areas of concern. As always, when it comes to acne treatments — and any other skin condition — it's best to ask your GP or dermatologist before use.

Nuface Mini Facial Toning Device & Hydrating Gel Primer

We wouldn't blame you if you mistook the Nuface Mini Facial Toning Device & Hydrating Gel Primer (£169) for a tiny, cute alien. It definitely doesn't look like your average beauty tool and that's because it doesn't give results like one. In fact, this piece of tech is known for giving some pretty astonishing results. The NuFace sends low-level microcurrent though your face which stimulates the muscles and in turn contours and lifts the cheekbones, jawline, and brows.

Sarah Chapman Pro Pore Extraction Device

Does the concept of the pore extraction device at home scare you? Yep, me too. But I trust Sarah Chapman and the Sarah Chapman Pro Pore Extraction Device (£128). This tool is actually a 3-in-1 as it includes thermo-therapy, ionic cleansing, and ultrasonic vibrations to deeply unclog the skin. And if that wasn't enough, it also comes with a suction nozzle to get to work on those blackhead. But please be careful with this device. Don't use it on active acne or sensitive skin.

Every Drop Beauty Spatula

The other day, I caught myself scooping out every last scrap of my favourite Oxygenetix Foundation with the end of a Pat McGrath Eyeliner (which is also a favourite of mine), and I had to have a word with myself. The Mother of Makeup did not create the incredible liner for such tasks. That's when I went on the hunt for an (hygienic) alternative. Every Drop Beauty Spatula (£15) does exactly what it says on the tin: scrapes every last drop out of the bottle. It fits inside most cosmetics bottles, and it's incredibly easy to clean with just a bit of soap and water. It's a bit of an investment, but just think how much money you'll save in the long run.

Oral-B Genius X Luxe Edition with Artificial Intelligence

A regular toothbrush just doesn't come close to an electric toothbrush. It just doesn't, OK? Then Oral-B released its Artificial Intelligence toothbrush, and I realised, my old electric toothbrush is now basically the dental equivalent of a DVD player. Oral hygiene dilemma.

Anyway if you, too, are looking to step up your teeth-brushing game, welcome Oral-B Genius X Luxe Edition with Artificial Intelligence (£180) into your life with open arms. According to the brand, "at least 80 percent of people miss at least one area of their mouth when brushing." This AI brush aims to stop that with the help of the corresponding app, which allows you to see exactly where in your mouth you're missing and which areas you should be focussing on for the most effective clean. No wonder it's an Amazon recommended bestseller. Just think how proud your hygienist will be.

GHD Glide Professional Hot Brush

If a picture speaks a thousand words, then all you need to to is click on this review and know that the GHD Glide Professional Hot Brush (£139) really works. If you're thinking of investing in a new hairstyling tool, give this one a whirl.

SmoothSkin Muse Intelligent IPL Hair Removal System

The SmoothSkin Muse Intelligent IPL Hair Removal System (£470) is eye-wateringly expensive, but hear me out. If you wax, regularly purchase expensive razor blades, or are considering laser hair removal, you might want to think about investing in an at-home IPL system first. It works by flashing intense pulsed light (IPL) directly into the hair follicle with the aim to damage the follicle and prevent regrowth. This particular light adapts automatically to skin tone (whereas, others require manual skin-tone input, with room for user error). However, as with traditional IPL machines, this is not suitable for people with dark and deep-dark complexions, as the machine can cause trauma to the skin and often result in post-inflammatory pigmentation.

After 12 weeks of once weekly use, you'll be totally hair-free and only need to top up every eight weeks or so. One of the best parts is that it doesn't hurt at all — the same can't be said for other hair removal options.

Thyes Shampoo Brush Silicon Scalp Massager

I've been telling anyone who'll listen about my love for scalp massagers. Not only do they help stimulate blood flow to the scalp, but they also seem to make my manicures last longer, thanks to the fact that I don't have to use my fingers to scrub my hair clean. At only £5, Thyes Shampoo Brush Silicon Scalp Massager (£5) is definitely worth picking up on your next Amazon order. It'll make hair-wash days much less daunting and much quicker. Promise.

Revlon Pro Collection Salon One Step Hair Dryer

If you hate blow-drying your hair using a hairdryer but love the salon-worthy finish, you might want to look into a barrel brush blow dryer, which just so happens to be an Amazon bestseller. Traditionally they're the same size as a normal barrel hair brush, but not this one. If you find that most are too small for your desired result, we recommend trying the Revlon Pro Collection Salon One Step Hair Dryer (£44). This huge brush combines heat and smoothing bristles for a just-stepped-out-of-the-salon hairstyle.

JML Finishing Touch Flawless The Discreet Hair Remover

In America, the JML Finishing Touch Flawless The Discreet Hair Remover (£12) is one of those "As Seen on TV" products that flashes on your screen at 2 a.m. when regular programming has stopped for the night. I always thought it was a gimmick until a sample arrived at my desk and I gave it a try. I was scared it would hurt, so I proceeded with caution, but the circular shaver removes hair painlessly as you run it over your face in circular motions. I love using it for my upper lip and chin the most, but I'll also take it over the sides of my face to remove peach fuzz (your makeup will even go on better after giving this a go). I liked it so much, I got one for my mum, and now she's hooked, too.

Philips VisaPure Mini Facial Cleanser<

Another highly recommended Amazon bestseller is the Philips VisaPure Mini Facial Cleanser (£43) and for good reason. If you want your face cleansing tool to do the most, this one will. It claims to be "six times more effective cleaning than by hand." Simply splodge some of your favourite cleanser straight onto the brush, turn it on, and using light circular motions, clean your face as normal. Finish by admiring your baby-smooth skin. Even better, it can be used up to 20 times before needing to be charged.

Pro Blo Curl Me Brushes

Ever noticed that when you get a professional blow-dry, stylists leave some of the brushes in the hair to set while starting on another section? The problem is, it's incredibly hard to replicate at home for two reasons: the first being that you're not a professional hairstylist (we can't help you with that), and the second being that you probably don't have approximately 64 spare round brushes lying about. That, we can help you with however, thanks to the Pro Blo Curl Me Brushes (£25.50). This nifty tool has detachable heads, so after drying a section of hair, simply detach the head, secure with a clip, and after spritzing with a generous amount of hairspray, leave to set, old-school roller style.

Glo Pro Microneedling Tool

The Glo Pro Microneedling Tool (£200) isn't for a beauty beginner. It definitely comes with extensive directions, but when used properly, it's an incredibly powerful tool. The tool has a roller head attachment covered with hundreds of tiny little needles (trust me, it's not that scary), that when lightly rolled across the face (after thorough cleansing), very gently "injures" the skin, causing the cells to go into repair mode. Paired with the minor vibrations and red LED light (to decrease inflammation), this can be powerful tool for helping reduce pigmentation issues and the appearance of fine lines. I've used this in my routine once a week for over a year, and I swear by it for reducing any pigmentation caused by the odd breakout I get.

Siquk 24 Pieces Reusable Cotton Pads

OK, this might not be high tech, but it's definitely a tool, and it's definitely worth adding to your online shopping basket. In an effort to get you to never use a makeup wipe ever again (yes, even when you're drunk and can't be bothered), Siquk 24 Pieces Reusable Cotton Pads (£11) are machine washable, work even better than a traditional cotton pad, and are supercheap. Simply apply micellar water to the pad, press and remove your makeup, then throw into your washing basket to use again (and again and again). We strongly recommend purchasing a set of these with your next Amazon order, because the planet is worth washing your face properly for.

Foreo Luna Mini 2 Facial Cleansing Brush

If you're either a little lazy with your face cleansing game or are looking to step your current routine up a notch, take a peep at Foreo Luna Mini 2 Facial Cleansing Brush (£119). The silicone brush has a flat surface with eight different vibration settings that, when used with face wash, will glide over the skin and clean it within an inch of its life without irritation. The 4.3 out of 5 average rating will prove that this tool is far from a gimmick and is actually what people claim to be responsible for their best skin yet.

Meisheng Spa Home Facial Steamer

Need a facial but don't fancy shelling out £60+? Just steam your face at home. OK, it's not quite the same as getting a facial (like, at all) but it does have a certain luxurious feel to it, particularly if you're feeling under the weather and want to clear your sinuses. The Meisheng Spa Home Facial Steamer (£22) can steam the face for up to 30 minutes and has two different attachments depending which area you'd like to target. It also has an automatic shut-off after 20 minutes.

Philips Series 9000 Prestige Wet and Dry Electric Shaver

If you're in the market for a new shaver, take it from Amazon, who says this Philips Series 9000 Prestige Wet and Dry Electric Shaver (£375) is one of its bestsellers. Yes, it's expensive, but it has some nifty features including three settings to suit every skin type, a facial cleaning brush, a beard styler, and even a Qi charging pad for wireless charging. Need anymore convincing? Head to the review section of many happy customers.
