Time is precious. When it comes to beauty routines, sometimes all you have is a few minutes in the morning before plunging into your day. However, that shouldn’t mean you have to choose between looking pulled together and getting to work on time. In the spirit of efficiency, I’ve put together a list of eight beauty products that will speed up your prep time and free up some space in your beauty bag. As the saying goes, quality over quantity ever time.
Double-Duty Beauty Products: 8 Multitasking Makeup Solutions
- Fixx Lash Extend – Makes lashes fuller and longer, plus also helps grow in your brows.
- Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer – Works great as a concealer to cover up dark spots, but also works well as a highliter due to its light-reflecting finish.
- Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain + Balm – Wear the juicy color stain on one side and top with the nourishing balm on the other. Use independently or layer under other colors.
- Bare Escentuals Double Ended Shaping Brush – Sweep on eye color with the soft, large angle brush and then swap to the smaller angle brush for liner work.
- Jane Iredale Highlighter Pencil (Pink & White) – Use the pink side for highlighting the brow bone or as a soft lid color, then use the white to brighten the inner corners of the eye.
- Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Cream – Use it on damp hair for smooth heat-styling results, then on dry hair to add shine and smooth fly-aways.
- Benefit Benetint Cheek & Lip Stain – The sheer, waterproof, kiss-proof tint can be used as a cheek flush and lip color. Use in layers to add a deeper hue.
- Motives Cosmetics Blush/Bronzer Duo – Get the best of both in one package. Contour and define with the perfect shade of bronzer, then make cheeks pop with the accompanying satin blush.
