Swipe, Blend, Done. As much as I love playing with makeup, 99.9% of the time I want a quick fuss-free look. Especially now that my skincare routine has increased exponentially since turning 40. Multi-tasking products are at the top of my shopping list and these three are my current favorites.
I consider myself a professional at multi-tasking. Just this morning, I was packing lunches, making breakfast & doing a last minute study review with my daughter for her vocab test today at school…..ALL AT THE SAME TIME. And that’s s just a typical morning. So maybe that’s the reason I have become so obsessed with multi-tasking makeup. Champion beauty products that can color, highlight, cover, and correct all at the same time. Currently, there are three products I swear by that have helped streamline my routine (and makeup bag). In this post I spill the beans on these multi-tasking makeup products and how they incorporate into my current no-fuss beauty routine.
1) Dandelion Twinkle Soft Nude Pink Powder Highlighter
After dealing with oily skin for the majority of my life, I wanted to stay far away from anything that added “shine” or “glow”. But this delicate light reflecting powder gives off a shimmery radiance that is anything but oily looking. I use it on my brow bone to highlight my eyelids and eyebrows. When I want a more natural look, I forego my usual eyeshadow and swipe this across my entire eye lid. I blend it on op of my cheekbones to add a dewy glow. And swipe a small amount down the bridge of my nose for added contour. Best part, no special brush is needed! I just use my fingers to swipe and blend. This powder is easily buildable, doesn’t settle in my lines and wrinkles and stays put throughout the day. Buy Now
2) Too Cheeky Lip & Cheek Color
I recently joined the cream blush bandwagon and am so glad I did. There’s something about a beautiful pigment that can be blotted on quickly with my fingers for instant color. My only advice is test before you buy! So many formulas are light and sheer and I wasted $39 on a high end brand that didnt even show up on my skin. I bought this Too Cheeky Lip & Cheek Color in-store after testing a few. It has a beautiful pigment (there are 6 to choose from), price point (only $12) and compact size. I use it on my cheeks, lips, and occasionally across my eyelid for a fun pinky color. Buy Now
3) Poppy & Pout 100% Natural Lip Balm
A girl can never be too fabulous or have too many lip balms. I was gifted this Sweet Mint balm by a brand collaboration and have never looked back. Not only can you feel virtuos by using this vegan, organic, cruelty-free, Oprah’s-Favorite-Thing lip balm, but this stuff REALLY works. And not just on lips. It is my go-to product for my eyebrows. It hydrates and gives my brows a pretty sheen. Plus, it holds my brow hairs in place without the heaviness, stickiness, residue of eyebrow gels. Buy Now
Since using these multi-tasking makeup products, the amount of time I spend on my day-to-day beauty routine has reduced. Dramatically! And I love the ease of just using my fingers to dab, swipe and blend. Be sure to check out these, and other, multi-tasking makeup products if you are looking to streamline your makeup routine, your makeup bag, and even your makeup counterspace.
