Any makeup artist will tell you that blending is a major must for flawless makeup. But blending at home can be kind of, um...tedious? Blend too much and your makeup disappears, blend too little and your skin will look spotty and uneven. Plus, how hard it is it to find the right balance between rubbing and smudging? I mean, blending is somewhere in there, but it's way to easy to just spread your makeup around and not actually blend. Which is why the Pop Beauty Buzzing Beauty Buffer is kind of amazing.

OK, hold up. When I first heard "vibrating makeup sponge" I was all like, "Oh great, another gimmick." It reminded me of that time I tried a cream-boosting tool, which felt just like a face massage. (Not bad by any means, but not worth the three-figure price tag.)

But this tool is legit, you guys. The buzzing beauty buffer is part-makeup sponge, part-vibrating base and provides 100 percent blending perfection -- whether you use mousse, liquid, cream or a powder foundation. Apply your makeup as usual, then spritz the blender with a makeup-setting spray (my editor is currently raving about Kat Von D Lock 'N Load Makeup Setting Mist, $24) and begin to buff. Start from the inside of your face and work outwards towards your jaw and hairline. This method will ensure that makeup won't clump nor cake in the center of your face, as well as provide you with ample coverage where you need it the most: nose, under-eye area, and chin.

Oh, and did I mention that the mini-massage totally de-puffs and makes skin super glowy by boosting circulation? It could not be easier to get flawless anymore. No excuses!
