By Kuntala Das March 28, 2025

We've all been there—spent ages perfecting a full face of makeup, only for the summer humidity to come along and ruin it all! Foundation goes patchy, mascara starts running, lip colour smudges, blush melts away, and suddenly you’re here and there—redoing your makeup multiple times. Sounds familiar? What if we told you there’s a way to step out this summer and look flawless with fewer products?

With beauty brands getting creative by the day and teaming up with technology in crafting some high-tech beauty gadgets, flawless, glowing skin is now just a button away! These beauty gadgets, favourites of celebs all over the world, will keep your makeup minimal and your skin absolutely flawless. Add them to your cart and give your skin the ultimate TLC it deserves!


Sonic-ally Clean Up

Proper cleansing is the cornerstone of any killer beauty routine, and that’s where the luxe sonic facial cleansing brush steps in! Just one minute is all it takes to achieve clean, clear, and flawless skin. Simply dampen the bristles, switch it on, and massage in gentle circular motions. The soft bristles do more than just cleanse—they stimulate blood flow, gently exfoliate, and give you a mini facial massage while effortlessly removing impurities, makeup residue, oil, dirt, and blackheads.

But wait, there’s more! These brushes are skincare powerhouses that do double duty. They help prevent acne, slow down signs of aging, and leave your skin firmer and glowing in just 60 seconds. It's like having a luxury spa facial at home!

Foreo’s iconic LUNA 3, offers cutting-edge technology and ultra-soft silicone bristles for a more hygienic, soothing cleanse; PMD Beauty’s Clean Pro Silver, combines sonic vibrations with a silicone brush for a deep yet gentle cleanse; Contour’s Luminess AeroCleanse creates a lather, unclogs pores, and exfoliates to prevent acne; and NågraCoola’s Clie Facial Cleansing Brush allows gentle scrubbing quite effortlessly.

For an extra glow, apply your favourite serum or lightweight oil afterward, and let your skin soak it all up for that plump, radiant finish.


Mask for the No Makeup Look

Who says you need layers of makeup to get glowing skin or even that stiff plastic masks filled with gooey products can help? Try an LED face mask, aka light-emitting diode masks! These babies not only look super cool, but they’re also fun to use in that nerdy, high-tech skincare way, working their magic by using different wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into the skin.

Also, don’t worry—there’s zero pain, and they’re completely safe! Some LED masks even combine different light colours, each targeting a specific skin issue. Red light helps boost collagen, blue light zaps bacteria, and green light goes after fine lines and wrinkles. Just apply your favourite serum or moisturiser, pop the mask on, and continue with your day. Be sure to read directions carefully though.
