My Fellow Editors Concur: Here Are the 13 Most Diligent Beauty Products That We All Have.
While I was tidying up my beauty products recently, I realized that some of the most effective items in my routine are often multi-purpose beauty products. As a beauty editor, I'm fortunate to try out a plethora of new products for my role, yet it's the multi-tasking items that usually secure a permanent place in my lineup. These versatile products not only simplify your routine but also save you both time and money. A complexion product that can substitute for both my concealer and foundation? Absolutely. A stylish cream blush stick I can use on my eyes, lips, and cheeks? I’d like two, please. And if I can also apply a body oil in my hair, I need to know more about it. Just like many successful individuals have a streamlined daily uniform, multi-purpose beauty products serve a similar purpose. They're reliable, adaptable to various situations, and can often save you time and energy in your everyday routine. Plus, they help free up valuable space on your bathroom shelf and in your makeup bag. Therefore, I compiled a list of some of my top multi-purpose beauty products that editors adore. Continue reading to discover our tried-and-true favorites that are sure to become staples in your beauty regimen as well.
**Best Multi-Purpose Beauty Products**
1. **Got2b Glued 2-in-1 Gel**
No sleek bun is complete without this fantastic hair gel wand featuring Got2b's renowned Glued formula. It effortlessly tames flyaways and edges with a strong hold all day long. Believe me, once you’ve styled your hair, it stays in place. The best part? It can also serve as a brow gel, keeping your fluffy brows set. Plus, priced at just £6, this is one of the most budget-friendly multi-purpose beauty items available.
2. **Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil**
Nuxe is a staple in French pharmacy skincare, and its standout product is an exceptional multitasker. First, it functions as a non-sticky dry oil that gives your body a beautiful sheen. Second, it can be utilized as a lightweight hair oil that imparts a healthy shine without stickiness. Its light formula even works as a featherweight facial oil for massage or moisture retention. Being from Nuxe, it has an incredibly chic scent (think luxurious French sunscreen), leaving a delightful fragrance wherever you apply it. If you choose the shimmer version, it also acts as a bronzy body highlighter.
3. **Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencils**
You may have noticed Hailey Bieber and numerous celebrity MUA's showcasing these Makeup For Ever pencils on social media. However, did you know they were designed for use as blush, lip liners, and even eyeliners? Their creamy texture allows for easy application anywhere (just like in Emily Wood's TikTok-viral video) for a hint of color wherever desired. My favorites are Anywhere Caffeine (a muted beige-pink) and Endless Cocoa (a mid-brown), both neutral and suitable for various applications.
4. **By Terry Hyaluronic Serum Concealer**
Although the shade selection could improve, this French concealer has captivated our beauty team with its multi-purpose capabilities. "Whenever I mention that I don't wear foundation, skin tint, or tinted moisturizer, people always react as if it’s unimaginable. The truth is, if I can manage it, so can anyone," shares Shannon Lawlor, Who What Wear UK beauty director. "I have imperfect skin with scarring, active breakouts, and various textures. The reasons I avoid a full base are multi-faceted: 1. I lack the patience for daily blending. 2. I prefer a natural look. 3. I detest foundation transfer to everything I touch. Therefore, I’ve perfected the art of concealer application—and the importance of a versatile, creamy concealer cannot be underestimated," she emphasizes. "This formula is undoubtedly the best I’ve encountered. I generously apply it under my eyes, around my nose, and across my chin, dabbing a bit on specific blemishes. I let it sit for about 20 seconds and then blend it in with my finger. It smooths texture and tone, creates a dewy glow without greasiness, brightens dull areas, and swiftly conceals spots. This little tube is my hero product, and I can't imagine being without it. Concealer, base, highlighter, overall glow-giver—it does it all."
5. **Rhode Glazing Milk**
Rhode's Glazing Milk might be my favorite among its skincare offerings. This milky essence provides a burst of lightweight, skin-soothing hydration before applying serums and moisturizers. Another way I enjoy using it, inspired by founder Hailey Bieber, is to dilute my foundation or skin tint. It’s a fantastic method to reduce the heaviness of base products. It also leaves your skin incredibly
