The Best Multi-Use Makeup Products You Need Before Your Next Trip

Multi-Use Makeup For Lips, Eyes & Cheeks

1. Nars The Multiple | $39

A Godsend for beauties that love a flushed or natural look is the Nars Multiple. The Multiple is a cream stick with a powder finish that will add a sheer flush of color to your lips, cheeks, and eyes. It comes in ten natural shades ranging from a pink champagne accent to a warm apricot tint – there’s one for every beauty.

Use this to highlight, contour, or add a bit of color to your cheeks for a natural finish. You only need your fingertips to apply this product, so you have one less product to bring – your brush or sponge. The warmth of your skin will help the cream melt to a natural, comfortable powder finish.

Get definition, dimension, and more compliments than you can handle from one makeup stick. The possibilities are endless in this multi-use makeup.

2. Benefit Lip & Cheek Stain | $18

This multi-use game-changer traces its roots back to the 70s and continues to wow makeup gurus to this day. The most popular shade is the Benetint, a natural rose shade, but the brand carries a total of six stain shades ranging from a natural pink to a vibrant red.

Glide the doe-foot applicator over your cleansed lips and cheeks, and blend away with just your fingers. This tint is sheer yet buildable, so it’s a great product to start with for makeup novices. The smudge-proof and long-wearing Benefit cheek and lip tint will last you from your 9 to 5 and the family dinner after.

If you haven’t already noticed, I don’t like packing a makeup brush in my purse. Products where I only need to use my fingers are my ride or die.

3. Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipsticks | $18

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/B74R6FcFVOj/ hidecaption=true width=800]

Let me spill the tea about these Velour Liquid Lipsticks.

Because these liquid lipsticks are 100% vegan, they’re safe to use on both the lips and the eyes! Go for a graphic eyeliner moment or a bold eye look with your favorite lip shade. The formula dries to a comfortable matte finish, and is so opaque you only need one swipe for an impressive color payoff.

Multi-Use Makeup Products For Face

4. IT Cosmetics CC+ Cream With SPF 50 | $39.50

Forgot your sunscreen at home? Don’t worry, IT Cosmetics literally has you covered.

IT Cosmetics’ CC cream is a foundation, sunscreen, and skincare packed in one handy tube with a pump. Its ingredients include collagen and antioxidants which strengthen your skin so you can play in the sun without worries.

The Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette will give you your most luminous skin yet!

With six products packaged in one pretty palette, you can bronze, highlight, sculpt, and finish your face. The powders in this 4-in-1 palette capture and scatter light to give you manufactured ambient lighting. The size of the palette is travel-friendly, so your skin can keep looking soft and luminous all day.

We’re all about glow-from-within skin this summer, so I know I’ll be reaching for this multi-use makeup palette often.

6. Mac Prep + Prime Fix+ | $28

Prep, spray, go!

This Mac multiple will prep your skin to create a smooth canvas for your makeup, prime it for makeup to apply smoothly, and set your makeup so it will stay put. After a long day, you can spritz on this multi-use saver to refresh your makeup. With ingredients that soothe and moisturize skin, your skin will continue to glow even after you remove your makeup.

7. Tati Beauty Blendiful | $18

[instagram url=https://www.instagram.com/p/B7H1vr8pRoM/ hidecaption=true width=800]

This will give your Beauty Blender a run for its money.

Tati is a beauty YouTuber that, with her years of experience in the beauty industry, has created a powder puff that can apply both powders and creams. Coming in a pack of two – a regular-sized Blendiful and a Baby Blendiful – it’s a steal for $18! Use this multi-use applicator to blend your foundation and concealer, contour, blush and finish your makeup.

This is the only makeup applicator you’ll need at home or on any trip.

With just these products, you’re ready for your next spontaneous trip! The best part about this is you’ll only need the one applicator and your fingers for a fuss no muss application.
