What is the one beauty product you wish existed?
Feel free to get as realistic or fantastic as you like - a lipstick that applies in an instant rainbow pattern, mascara that makes your lashes look like falsies, a pimple-eliminating magic wand, etc.! Go wild!
A pill you could take to change the colour of your nails instantly! Don’t like the colour? Take another! With 0 side effects :)
Not really a beauty product, but I really wish they had glittery Tattoo ink. I have 6 tattoos, and they all could use some glitter. Then again, I think everything could use some glitter. I actually discussed this with my tattoo artist and she said it was probably a bad idea, seeing as glitter is basically little pieces of metal, which I’m sure is terrible for the skin. So I’d love for them to invent something like that.
Also I’d love for lipstick to apply zebra or leopard print. That would be amazing, though I’m sure I’d get weird looks lol.
Mood Shadow! I know they have things like nail polish that changes color in the sun, but what about eye shadow that changes with your mood (or at least body temperature like mood rings). It would be shimmery and it would go on smooth. There would be a few different kinds too, pastel, bright, dark.
I have two dream products! One, i would totally love a lip product that made your lips taste and look like candy canes. I’m talking AS shiny and AS yummy as one!
Two, I want, no, I NEED an interesting little product for feet. like, when you dip your feet in a bowl of this magic liquid, your feet are instantly made perfect! No more need for nail polishes (it paints your toes for you), no more exfoliation, no more work!
Nail polish that applies in patterns. Just a quick swipe with the brush on your nails and voila, stripes, polka dots, etc.
Fool proof foundation that is never too thick or oily, but evens out the dry patches as well and blends automatically. It would cover blemishes and make skin beautifully porcelain.
I’m terrible at applying make up and still get bad skin :[
Anything that would make my skin like yours would be amazing. I’d like to keep some of my freckles though.
Instant Eye colour changer, without using contacts. Like eye drops, you choose a color, put some drops in, and it lasts 12 hours!
Hmmm, this is a good question.
A foundation that tans with you.
I am about 20 different colours during the year, from super pale to bronzed goddess, so having to buy a new foundation for each change is a pain in the patootie. I think someone should invent a foundation that when you wear it, it can tell how tan you are and adjusts. That way, the gorgeous porcelain girls will be able to find a foundation that matches, and those of us who might spend a little too much time in the sun are covered too. :D
A lotion that turns itself into a full ‘make-up look’ when you apply it to your face – no need to spend 2 hours in front of the mirror and searching for different brushes in your drawers anymore!
I wish that there was some brand for crazy haircolours (like grean, pink, blue, purple..) which lasted for a LONG time. Like when you colour it brown, for example, and not something that lasts for just three weeks!
I really have a big problem with pesky zits so I’d like to have a foundation/concealer that not only effectively conceals blemishes but also gives the illusion of a flat surface since no regular foundation or concealer can flatten bumps.
My biggest problem has always been finding a foundation that is pale enough for me (I’m a good two shades lighter than 99% of the products out there) and isn’t tested on animals. As well as being oil free, never patchy, as magically even as possible (always!!) and that covers up freckles flawlessly..
That would just be the biggest dream come true!
This is a toughie question. I’d like to see a perfume that creates your own unique smell according to mood. Instead of buying a ton of different perfumes for different moods/occasions, this one would adjust itself to how you were feeling and would be uniquely you =). A sweet and dreamy floral for when you’re feeling mellow, something spicy and sexy for when you’re feeling adventurous, something fruity and fun for when you’re feeling cooky… the possibilities would be endless =).
Although, it probably wouldn’t be a good idea to wear it when you were in a bad mood… I’m not sure what kind of smell this dream perfume of mine would produce then =P.
Ooh, since I always wish that my hair were different colors to go with my outfits .. I’d totally love some sort of hair product that changes your hair colour IMMEDIATELY, without damaging it at all :D AND that it’d actually have the RIGHT color you want! I always hate it when the dye I use is a different shade from what I actually want ! :)
A lip product that don’t feel like lipstick … kinda like when you apply you won’t feel gressy or anything and still have a nice glossy/shimmer/pretty lip color.
Mine would be 2 things…I would LOVE that little machine that does all your eye makeup for you (like in The 5th Element). You just hold it up to your eyes and it does whatever you want it to and if you change your mind hold it up again and it’s something different. It would just save me lots of time! Nothing is worse than color coordinated your eye makeup to the outfit you’re going to wear and then you change your mind on the outfit after the makeup is done!
Also, I would love instant nail polish! Nail polish that dries and hardens immediately so no waiting to do things.
Aaah a girl can dream!
A pill or a cream that perfects the skin, no more huge pores, pimples, blackheads, sensitivity, rosacea, scars, etc…
I’ve always loved the look of freckles. So I’d love for like a foundation or a creme or something that could give the look of freckles without having to use a eyebrow pencil or something and dotting it all over the face.
A styling product that instantly curls your hair. The more product you put on, the tighter and smaller the curls get. Of course, they last until you wash it out =)
I wish there was a type of product that instantly got rid of eye bags and under eye shadows. No products on the market seem to actually match anyones skin toning or really hide it, so something to hide those naughty nights staying up late would be fantastic!
2 words…Everlasting Lipgloss. I love the look of it when it’s first applied, and then it always gets less glossy by the minute. So, just put it on once, and it’s on until you take it off!
I have always been interested in the Simpson’s make-up gun.
Just point and be glamorous!
A magic wand/cream that instantly makes wounds and scabs heal. Hopefully- It would also get rid of discoloration and scarring.
For Me- This is a beauty product. I have Dermatillomania- an Impulse control disorder that Causes me to pick at my skin. Of course- I hate the way it looks and I wish I could just get rid of all the scarring and discoloration!
well I think we should have a consol that is programed with our bodies that looks like a PDA and you could simply change your hair color, hair cut, eye color, ect… i thinks it would be amazing… evn though it would get rid of my job (cosmetologist) i would trade my job any day for that beauty product!
Eye drops that change your eye color & and hairspray that changes your hair color. But not just to “normal” colors. For example, one day you could have sparkling purple eyes and white hair, and the next day sea green eyes and gold hair. That would be amazing! Everything would be so much more magical.
A real pore minimizer!! you appy it you forget your pores you don’t need make up!!! It is my birthday today, I hope I win! Kisses!!!
A magic fairy god mother like Cinderella has. She would live in a beautiful little house inside your closet and then whenever you need to change she would wave her wand and you’d be instantly gorgeous with clothes, shoes, hair and make-up!
I meant “you apply it” ;)
OR a liquid spray that feels like water and dries super fast and turns your skin perfect. It would hide my stupid red cheeks and make me feel way better. Then I wouldn’t need to ‘hide’ under makeup anymore. Maybe then it would be fun again for me to experiment with fun eyeshadow colors etc
I could really use a magic liquid eyeliner pen. Applies itself neatly, and never smudges!
Contrariwise, it would simply wipe off when I was done with it. =D
I would love the make up applicator they had made up for the movie The Fifth Element – one of my favorites despite, but I would LOVE to be able to choose, then look into the little box, and *poof* make up! Or if I didn’t like it, *poof again!*
If not that, then that perfect shade of retro red lipstick that will last all day, won’t dry my lips out, and will let me smooch my fiance on our wedding day. That quest seems to be the holy grail!
I knew a girl from nursery school on through high school who had the most PERFECT ringlet curls. Like big, bouncy, perfectly formed banana curls that no amount of humidity could ruin. I SO wish that there was a hair product to produce Tracy R-style curls!
I’d love a product that COMPLETELY smoothed out complexion-imperfections so that you didn’t have to wear heavy foundation ever again. I’m talking pimples, redness, lines, thread veins, freckles, dark eye rings… the whole shebang!
A tiny, spider like robot with gentle feet and voice to crawl on my foreheadand pluck my eyebrows. It will coo and massage my face as it plucks with it’s other tiny feet. At night it will sleep in a small silver box lined with red velvet, a small pink light ok it’s back glowing in time to it’s ‘heart beat’.
I wish there would be an eye shadow that applies perfectly, now matter how clumsy you are!
In one little box would be 3 colours. It wouldn’t be necessary to apply every colour seperately, you just have to sweep over all 3 colours and apply to your eye.
Et voilà, you have the perfect eye make-up with a nice shadow in the crease and colours that are made to match and are perfectly blended into each other.
That would be wonderful :)
I wish there was a cream you could apply to your skin that takes the sun tan away and makes it pale. I love the look of pale porcelin skin! Maybe it could take away freckles too, not that I mind them. It would just be nice to be able to choose or change your skin tone to a lighter color. Like opposite tanning cream!
A nail strengthener that actually works. (A pill, or a polish or something) Mine are genetically weak, and they peel and break all the time. I hate leaving them unpolished because they looks so ugly, but I don’t have the money for manicures, and I can’t paint them well myself.
Nail Polish Wand
So that instead of trying to decide which color to put on and taking the time and care to paint it on, you just tap the wand to the tip of your nail and its painted! And if you don’t like the color you just pick another and tap it again to change it.
Time saving and slipping up will be impossible.
I’d love to have this.
red lipstick that actually stays on all day, just adheres to lips, and doesn’t feel like i’m wearing anything. i know they’re trying to create it, but what i’ve used so far just doesn’t work.
and magic color change eye shadow would be awesome, like a clear shadow you put over to change the color. that way when i change outfits to go out at night i don’t have to redo my makeup.
lol Totally love the idea of a lotion that instantly applies makeup!!! I`d go for that one! More realistically speaking, I`d love a soap/shower gel that would hydrate the skin and came with built in suncream!
A box of amazing chocolate truffles that, when eaten, create a flawless base over your entire face. When cosmetics are applied, they are brighter, longer lasting, and overall more breathtaking.
I’ve always wanted the machine that Judy Jetson uses for new hair styles/colors. *laughs* I can’t believe we still don’t have the technology.
but after reading the comments I’ll totally take what Iris suggested!
I alway wanted a nail color applier like in the movie Total Recall. The receptionist would tap her nails with a white stylus and they changed color. That would save me time and clean up :)
I’m surprised there are so many people who’d want to skip the putting on makeup process. Personally I find it incredibly cathartic.
As for the beauty product I’d like to invent, I’d love to see self-cleaning brushes, so I’d never have to worry about muddying my look, or a truly non-transferring lipstick. So often I skip on the lips knowing that I enjoy kissing and eating far too much to sacrifice! :)
Practically, probably eye makeup that comes off easily with makeup remover, but won’t move if I rub my eyes (as I have a terrible habit of doing).
Or hairdye that actually makes hair *healthier* instead of damaging it, smells nice, only adheres to hair, not skin, and can be applied like shampoo yet goes on even!
I’d really like a hair bleach that would lighten only up to the certain shade it says on the packet. It’d make doing my roots a cinch, since I know I’d never over-bleach the parts that I’d accidentally overlapped onto. Also, it’d make lifting to white perfectly easy.
A skin tint. I’m not sure in what form it would come, perhaps in a tiny bejeweled vile in the same hue as the tint. You would drink from say a tiny violet vile and suddenly your skin would turn a shade of light lavender with a soft glow. Or perhaps from an emerald bottle you’d become seafoam colored with whisps of white glitter. I think the tiny drinks should be flavored too. Perhaps the purple vile would taste of anise, crushed rose and vanilla. Or the green vile of salt water, green apple and coconut milk.
Anyone else remember the episode of The Jetsons’ where Jane, the perfect housewife of the future, received a phone call from her friend first thing in the morning and Jane woke up looked completely disheveled? Before going to the “phone” (which was actually similar to a giant webcam,) Jane had to “put on her face”. She sat in a chair while a screen flashed different looks that Jane could try for the day. After trying out a few numerous make-up & hairdo combinations, Jane chose her usual look and answered the call – looking absolutely picture perfect and ready to dish the dirt with her friend.
All these years later, I still remember Jane Jetson’s hair & make-up machine. I mean, how cool would it be to shove your head in a capsule and reappear moments later with make-up and hair Hollywood perfect? You could go from punk rocker, to Hollywood glam, to pin-up, etc. all with a click of a button. I would love to own a contraption such as that, because I’m always experimenting with several different looks and styles. Who wouldn’t love that?
hmmmm….my first one would be a pill to instanhtly change your eye color. I hate having brown boring eyes….
ans second….a “hand soap”that paints just your nails without any mistakes..imsta-pretty!
Does anyone remember the scene from Total Recall where a receptionist is painting her nails by touching a pen-like object to her nails and voila! Perfect nail color!
Well, I wish everything with beauty products was like that. Imagine, you could change your highlights or haircolor to match your outfit. Makeup would be a breeze. It would be fantastic.
