Multitasking Beauty Products

March 14, 2014

I always say in my beauty videos that I love products that are multitaskers.  This means that one product can be used in a multitude of ways.  This can save time for those who are in a time crunch.  It saves space in your makeup bag when traveling.  It can also be great for a night on the town when you realize that you a need a touch up while checking your reflection in a mirror.

Here are some of my top favorites:

Multitasking Beauty Products

1.  BB Creams and CC Creams

These amazing newer products (every company seems to have them now) are some of the best multitaskers.  They provide spf, skin correcting properties and can work as a primer and/or foundation all in one.

2.  Moisturizers with SPF

I don’t care to add layer after layer of products to my face in the morning.  A moisturizer that contains spf (at least spf 30) is an easy way to solve this dilemma.

3.  Cream blush and Lipstick

Cream blush can be used on the cheeks as well as the lips.  Some people use it on the eyes too.  I personally don’t care for this type of product on my eyes.  The opposite is also a great option, using your lipstick as a blush.

4.  Eye shadow

There are so many things that you can use eye shadow for, especially when in a pinch…  You can use it to fill in brows when using the right color.  Lighter colors with a sheen can be used to highlight and illuminate the cheek bones.  Some colors can even be used to cover the roots in your hair or cover a thinning spot on the scalp.

Do you have a product that you use to multitask?  Let me know because I’m always looking for new ideas and ways to cut down on the time it takes to apply my makeup and beauty products.

    Happy SITS day! I’m enjoying looking around your blog! I’m pretty lucky to just get some eyeliner on as I leave the house these days, so I could use the tips! Enjoy your day!

    Happy SITS Day! I hope you have a great one! 🙂

    I have never been a huge make-up person, but I remember in college that some people used lip liner as eye liner in a pinch, and I did see them do the powdered blush as eye shadow in a pinch, too. I’ve even heard that you can use mascara as eye brow pencil if need be, too, or using clear mascara to keep brows in place. Sure sounds like there are a lot of multi-tasking options out there!

    Oh, these tips are nice for someone who doesn’t want to have a plethora of makeup items in the drawer. Multipurpose? I’m all for that.

    Happy SITS day!! I wish I wore more make up so that I could give you a trick that makes me faster in the morning. Looking like I rolled out of bed? That’s my trick!! Ha. It’s a look, maybe not the best 😉 Great tips though and I look forward to stopping back for some more!

    Happy SITS Day! I LOVE makeup! I actually use Monistat Anti-Chafing Gel as my primer because it has a lot of the same ingredients as primers without the preservatives. And, best of all, it works and it’s cheap!

    Great post! I use my bronzer as eyeshadow in a pinch. It is a nice neutral color for those “no-makeup” makeup days.

    Hey there! Fellow SITS girl here! Congrats on being the feature! I agree about facial moisturizer with sunscreen!! I use it twice a day immediately after washing my face and it does wonders. I am a big MAC user. Their powders make for great cover ups almost like a light foundation and their lipsticks to me are so moisturizing I use them not just for color but as my chapstick!

Personalized and sentimental jewelry is my favorit Personalized and sentimental jewelry is my favorite because of the meaning behind it. This necklace from @haverhill checks all the boxes and then some! It’s meant to be passed down between generations.

It’s all handcrafted with solid 14K gold and gemstones. Everything is ethically sourced and sustainably made right here in the USA.

 I chose a necklace with 2 initials with 2 gemstones (mine and my husband’s initials). I love that I can wear it without worrying about it tarnishing because of the high quality materials that it’s made with. I almost never take it off.

Be sure to visit their website (haverhill.com) if you’re looking for meaningful jewelry items for yourself or someone you love.
