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!

    I’m pretty late, but congrats on being featured on SITS! Is that PUR BB Cream? Do you like it? I’ve been in search of a good BB cream lately, and haven’t found one. “:-)

May is skin cancer awareness and melanoma awarenes May is skin cancer awareness and melanoma awareness month. This is my reminder to you to wear your sunscreen every single day and get annual skin checks. Early detection is key to a good outcome.

Both of these products from Beekman 1802 are keeping my skin healthy, hydrated and moisturized, and most importantly, protected from uva and uvb rays from the sun.☀️ In fact, goat milk has 31 active ingredients that strengthen the skin barrier!🐐

Have you had your skin checked by a dermatologist in the last year? If not, please make an appointment now.

You can always use code Stacie20 on the @beekman1802 website for a discount. See the link in my profile or comment SHOP.☀️

This post is in honor of my mom who we lost to melanoma in 2012. She would’ve turned 83 tomorrow.💖😇

I’m sharing my Glow-Up Routine for Women Over 50 I’m sharing my Glow-Up Routine for Women Over 50 for a beautiful natural makeup look that enhances the beauty of mature skin and protects it from the sun. It’s makeup and skincare in one! I love a multitasker, don’t you?

What I used:
Universal Tinted Moisturizer: This is a lightweight tinted moisturizer with SPF 46 that gives sheer coverage and a natural glow. It nourishes and hydrates with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and a high concentration of niacinamide (vitamin B3). It blends out perfectly for all skin tones.

Luminous Eye Corrector: This product comes in 4 peachy shades to cancel out under eye circles and darkness. It stays all day, doesn’t crease and gives perfect coverage without looking cakey. It has mineral SPF 41 to protect that delicate skin under the eyes.

Lip Silk: Deeply hydrating lip color that’s formulated with Squalane, Meadowfoam, & Peptides to nourish and soften lips without bleeding into lip lines. Available in 2 shades Soft and Bold. It has mineral based SPF 40 to protect lips from the sun and also from blue light.

These are fantastic skincare products that make you feel good in your own skin & they’re linked in my profile!💫
