There are two types of makeup products in this world: the ones you apply the usual way, and the ones you do not. It’s true, even makeup has the ability to shapeshift into a new kind of medium, and we’re pretty obsessed with the latest trend: paper beauty products. Paper beauty ranges from the classic blotting sheet to actual makeup papers and hair-helpers. Ahead, we rounded up five of our favorites to ease up your routine with just a few swipes.
