Five of the best multi-purpose makeup products for summer

Moving back into the world of makeup has been challenging.

We had grown accustomed to the world of natural living and minimal effort. And beauty, at its core, is effort. It takes time and often a trolley of products to keep us looking our best.

Makeup also means clutter. Because of changing trends and constant reviews, our minds and pockets want what is new and top-rated. This leads to an accumulation of products we never use.

This is why multi-use makeup products are a blessing of sorts.

One product can often cover three areas of the face. Meaning better things for your bank balance and more space in your makeup bag.

And this summer the last thing we want to worry about is makeup. We desire simplicity and ease while we enjoy the much-needed pleasures of family and friends.

Plus, you never have to bring your entire makeup bag for touch-ups on a night out ever again.

Because one multi-purpose product will do it all for you.

Rouje Lip Palette

Great packaging, great product

Buy it for approx £33.91 at Rouje.

Not only does the packaging of this Rouje palette look beautiful, it’s stunning on too. Perfect for lips, cheeks and eyes, this is the ultimate ‘pop in your bag and go’ makeup item. Highly pigmented, the consistency is thick, meaning moisturiser is a must underneath, especially for dry skin.

Glossier Stretch Concealer

Buy it for £15 at Glossier.

A firm favourite among Glossier devotees, the stretch concealer helps cover dark circles and imperfections but keeps your skin looking like skin. But did you know it works as a foundation too? Using a buffer brush, simply blend onto the skin for a natural finish.

Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek

Buy it for £23 at Cult Beauty.

Lip and cheek duos have become big news in recent years and Milk Makeup’s Lip + Cheek is leading the pack. Blends like a dream, leaving a dewy finish to the skin. All the while adding a pop of colour to the lips.

Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter

Buy it for £34 at Charlotte Tilbury.

Charlotte Tilbury’s Flawless Filter does exactly what it says on the tin. This product gives a superstar glow without the high cost. Even better, it has a range of uses. Wear under foundation as a primer for an almost glassy finish, sweep across the high points of the face or simply use it on its own. This is one item you will never regret buying.

Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick

Buy it for £45 at Cult Beauty.

The Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick by Hourglass is much loved among the foundation community. With the fluidity of a liquid and the weightlessness of a powder, this packs serious coverage and long-wearing ability. However, buy in a light and dark shade and you can use if for highlighting and countering needs. Easy to blend and with chic packaging, this is a win.
