Simplify your beauty routine with these multi-use makeup products

Do you own too much makeup? Does your beauty routine consist of 20 steps? Do you spend hours rummaging around your medicine cabinet to find what you’re looking for? Then, hi, you need to simplify your beauty routine. Getting ready should be a fun and effortless ritual. You shouldn’t be sitting in front of a mirror for a whole hour (unless you’re in the mood for it). So we’ve rounded up the best multi-use makeup products to make your life easier. These seven must-have multi-use makeup products will get you out the door in just a few minutes. They have the power to speed up your routine by tackling several problems at once. We’re talking lipsticks that also work as eyeshadow and blush, tinted moisturizers that conceal and treat blemishes, and highlighters that work on eyes, lips and cheeks.

The Glowlotion Skin Perfector is a four-in-one beauty find that primes, perfects, highlights and nourishes your skin.

The formula preps your skin and extends eyeshadow and foundation wear (if you choose to layer it on top). You can also use the product on its own to perfect and blur out imperfections thanks to the micronized pearls. But that’s not all.
