In theory, multitasking beauty products are genius. After all, they save space, time and money. In practice, however, it's a bit tough to find multitaskers that can really, truly do two things as well as a regular product can do one thing — and therein lies the rub.
With that in mind, we've put together a list of dual-use lip and cheek products that are actually able to deliver on both fronts. And it turns out they come in all forms, from chubby sticks to glossy gel crayons to balmy pots — each good in its own way. So, if you're looking to make your makeup routine (not to mention touch-ups) that much easier, read on for our favorite lip and cheek hybrid products.
Fans know and love RMS for its luminizers, but this might just become the brand's new must-have: It's so easy to use and it adds such a lovely, natural flush to both cheeks and lips. To make things even better, the color payoff strikes the perfect balance between opaque and sheer, and the texture is weightless and non-drying.
"Carryon" sounds about right: This chubby crayon is so portable and easy to use. The gel formula translates to a slightly glossy stain that adds a luminous look to both cheeks and lips.
It Cosmetics has done it again: This color-adjusting balmy lip/cheek color is so, so good at what it does. It's hydrating but non-sticky on lips and adds a gorgeous dewy glow to your cheeks — and the natural pink shades are lovely and flattering.
In addition to tinting cheeks and lips, this product also contains a healthy dose of SPF 40 — score! It's a hydrating formula, which gives it a nice sheen while also ensuring non-patchy application (even on the lips). Plus, the brightly-hued packaging and even more brightly-hued tint is perfect for summers spent poolside.
