We live in a time where technology has streamlined processes and made life incredibly convenient for us. Why should it not be the same for makeup? Well, it can be.
Multi-use, multi-functional and multi-purpose makeup refer to the same thing: makeup products that can be used in various ways.
These products are versatile and can help you simplify your makeup routine.
In addition, multi-functional makeup can help you travel lighter. Gone are the days of having to swap out bags to accommodate all your makeup for an emergency touch-up.
Not to mention the exorbitant price tag attached to different products that could essentially be repurposed.
Here is a list of our top 5 picks for multi-use makeup.
-
Lip and cheek tint
These products are typically made with a liquid or gel formula that can easily be applied to both your lips and cheeks for a natural, fresh flush of colour.

BB Cream
BB Cream is a tinted moisturiser that provides skincare benefits like SPF protection and hydration.
Not only can you use it as a foundation to even out your skin tone, it can also be used as a primer to prep the skin for a layer of foundation.
