Whether that’s applying a quick face of makeup for the morning dog walk or the perfect hair and body fragrance to grab on the go, you’ll find eight of the best time-saving, multi-purpose beauty and fragrance finds below.
Multi-Purpose Makeup
As someone with chronic illness, multi-purpose beauty products can help reduce the time I spend getting ready for the day. Finding products that work on a multifunctional level and achieve great results is key. If you have a busy schedule and want to embrace natural, glowing skin, these are some of my top finds as we head into autumn.
Blush + Highlight with Laura Geller Baked Blush-n-Brighten Marbleised Blush
Looking for a blush that’s also a highlighter and works wonders for mature skin? This radiant, skin-enhancing blush is designed to revitalise dull or mature complexions with luminous, buildable colour. Handmade in Italy using a unique baking process, the creamy powder formula blends effortlessly onto the skin, delivering a weightless feel and long-wearing, natural glow.
Infused with brightening pigments and self-adjusting colour technology, it adapts seamlessly to your skin tone for a flattering, lit-from-within finish. The perfect blush to leave you looking perfectly hydrated this autumn, thanks to its blurring, highlight effect. Grab it here.
Glow + Bronze with Max Factor Glow Framer Bronzing and Illuminating Tint
I’m a huge fan of Max Factor makeup right now. Their products are versatile, on-trend, and super stylish. The Max Factor Glow Framer is a bronzing and illuminating tint that’s designed to blend contour and highlight, framing and enhancing your natural facial features. The weightless, easy-to-blend formula is infused with soft shimmers and bronzing pigments that melt into skin for a beautifully seamless finish.
You’ll find this product helpful for building that healthy-looking glow, even on the dullest of autumn days. It’s an absolute doddle to apply and blends without fuss. Your perfect autumn makeup buy! Grab it here.
