We love makeup, but we've got places to go and people to see. Our makeup bags can't weigh 30 pounds, and we'd like to shave as much time off our morning routines as possible, so multipurpose products are something we very much value. There's nothing quite like finding a lifesaving product, and if it can help us in more than one way, so much the better.
Multipurpose products are the stars of our makeup bag. From lip to cheek products to those glowy highlighter hybrids, these are the picks you're going to fall in love with just as much as we have. Just keep reading to shop our picks, and get ready for a lighter makeup bag.
