From an obsession with skincare to the explosion of foundation shades and the push for clean beauty products, the industry constantly adapts to our changing tastes. Versatility is the new frontier in beauty, and multiuse products are leading the charge. These innovative products save time, space, and money while delivering impressive results. Keep reading as we explore five must-have dual-purpose beauty products that are essential for any beauty routine, combining convenience with effectiveness.
1. Cream Blushes
Cream blushes have become a staple in any makeup bag, providing more than just a pop of colour to your cheeks. We’ve seen these evolve from the basic pink powder blush to cream blushes in varying shades from orange to red, pink, peach, berry, burgundy, etc.
Cream blushes can triple as lip tints and eye shadow. Many brands are coming into this realisation and launching their cream blushes as dual products.
2. Blush Highlighter
Blush highlighters combine the best of both worlds, adding colour and glow in one swipe. They typically come as a two-in-one product, giving the effect of two distinct products for the price of one.
3. Tinted SPF
If you are a beauty enthusiast, you have to jump on this train right now!
Tinted SPF products are a game-changer. They offer sheer coverage to even out skin tone and reduce the need for a separate foundation, especially on days when you want that no-makeup-makeup look. On the other hand, they also double as sunscreen, protecting your skin from harmful UV rays. This dual-purpose product simplifies your morning routine, ensuring your skin stays protected and looks flawless.
4. Glow Serums
On one hand, they enhance your natural skin, giving you extra highlights and radiant-looking skin. On the other hand, they serve as the perfect base for your makeup; they are excellent primers and perfect if you’re going for a dewy makeup look.
5. Tinted Serums
Tinted serums blend the benefits of skincare and makeup, offering a lightweight solution for flawless skin.
While you have a skincare product in the form of a hydrating or moisturising serum to address specific concerns like fine lines or dullness, you also have a lightweight foundation-like product that provides very light coverage to maintain your natural look.
This dual-use product is perfect for those who prefer a minimalist approach to makeup. It combines skincare and coverage in one step. Another product in this line is tinted moisturisers, but oily-skin girls may not like them.
