E.L.F. Cosmetics
Pore Refining Primer Sheet Mask, $2 at E.L.F. Cosmetics
E.L.F. Cosmetics claims its primer sheet mask is "better than any photo filter in the app store." It's a grand statement, but it does create more refined, even skin IRL without having to rely on makeup. The fast-acting treatment takes five minutes so the vitamin-rich formula will have worked its magic in the time it takes to make coffee. At $2 a treatment, it's possible to stock up without breaking the bank. FYI: There's a three pack available.

St. Tropez
Self Tan Express Face Sheet Mask, $9 at St. Tropez
A faux glow from a sheet mask? It's possible with this first-of-its-kind product. The vegan sheet mask is infused with 100 percent natural tan actives to achieve a golden glow. Users are able to control how dark their tan is by how long they leave the mask on. Five minutes results in a light, natural tan, while 15 minutes will produce a rich, bronzed goddess color. After using the mask, skin will have a dewy, radiant finish that lends itself to a morning application. The full color develops in eight hours with no tan lines.
