From antimicrobial make-up brushes to the cleverest LED face mask, here are the tools to bolster your routine – as honoured by the Stylist Best Beauty Awards.


Whether you use make-up brushes to evenly blend your base or a hairdryer to create a perfect bouncy blowout, tools are a massive helping hand in our beauty regimes. As they help speed up our routines, they’re regularly our saving grace when we want to hit snooze on our alarms, too.

Here, we present our tried-and-tested edit of the tools that impressed us the most over the past year at Stylist HQ, earning them a Best Beauty Award. From stylers that allow us to dry and coif hair simultaneously (with minimal heat damage) to the light therapy LED mask that cools our under-eyes, these are the tools helping us achieve salon-worthy results from the comfort of our sofas.

Allowing us to declutter our hair station is this 5-in-1 wet-or-dry styler. A straightener, hot brush, auto-wrap curler, diffuser and concentrator nozzle all in one, it makes styling a breeze thanks to the Scalp Shield Mode (which automatically adjusts airflow to avoid hot heads). Opt for 90s pin-straight hair or curls that Elle Woods would be envious of.
