Healthy, glowing skin might be high on the priority list this year. To be fair, it’s something that most women strive for but with busy schedules, many are not keen or don’t have the luxury of 10-step skincare (or makeup!) routine.
So if you are a true multitasker in your life, you might want to consider the sale for your beauty drawer. Okay, what are we talking about? Multitasking beauty products, of course.
What are skincare-makeup hybrids?
Part skincare – part makeup, hybrid beauty products combine the elements of both whiles blurring the lines between skincare and makeup. This way these multi-purpose products provide the best of both worlds. Having multiple functions means they are equally effective but less pricey since you buy fewer products. And even more practical.
Hybrid beauty blurs the line between skincare and makeup.
If you prefer to minimise the products used in your skincare and makeup routines but want to get the same results, beauty multitaskers are the way to go.
It’s usually the skincare that gets the best of makeup. Infused with a bit of pigment or shine, multi-functional skincare products have benefits of the makeup, such as tinted moisturiser, coloured lip balms or shimmer body lotion.
Here are the best cruelty-free multi-tasking beauty buys to keep on your bathroom shelf.
