#  The Beauty Insider: The Joy Of Multi-Tasking Make-Up  


Make-up artist Lisa Potter-Dixon is sharing her tips and tricks on what’s new, what’s cult and what you really need to know in the world of beauty. This week, she’s praising multi-tasking beauty products that will save you money, time and space…  


[ Save To My Favourites ](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/19541)

 

 



 

 

 

 

If there’s a way to get an extra ten minutes in bed, I’ll find it. Multi-use make-up is one of my many tricks. Others include laying my clothes out the night before, going for straight hair rather than curly, and moving to a house opposite the train station. True story. Not only can multi-use make-up products take the fuss out of the application, they can also help you save a couple of quid. If your blusher can be used as lipstick, it’s kind of like a buy one get one free scenario, right? And who doesn’t love a bargain?!  
  
First things first, you probably have multiple items in your make-up bag already that can be used in other places than advertised. I learnt from a young age from my wonderful nan Doris, that lipstick on your cheeks can look lovely. The main thing about buying specific multi-use products is that they are tested for those areas of the face. You see, most brands wouldn’t test a lipstick on the eyes, or a blusher on the lips, and we have different types and thicknesses of skin on the face. So, with these multi-purpose beauties, you know you’re safe. Here are my favourites.

 

 

 

 [ ![Total Glow Bronzing Moisturiser For Face, £32.50 | Elemis](https://media.sheerluxe.com/gshCFvaXRF13lvu0vtDd8Il2BBU=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2019%2F05%2F1elemis-totalglowbronzingmoistuiser.jpg?itok=AVbjx5Dl)

 Total Glow Bronzing Moisturiser For Face, £32.50 | Elemis 

 



 

 

 

 

 

## **Elemis Total Glow Bronzing Moisturiser**

  
**What is it?** A moisturiser and gradual tanner.  
  
As with most gradual tanners, this product is genius. However, I love this one because it has all the goodness of Elemis skincare and gives you a gradual, even tan in your sleep, even if just chuck it on any old way like I do. Plus, you don’t get orange fingers – still not quite sure how that works, but I’m certainly not going to question it. I find that having a hint of colour on my skin also means that I need to apply less make-up in general.

 

 

 

 [ ![A-Blush, £31.00 | Giorgio Armani ](https://media.sheerluxe.com/RITz7GZWeqIhw-t3NT17T1jNkFQ=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2019%2F05%2F2g-armani-blush.jpg?itok=qhDxIFXe)

 A-Blush, £31.00 | Giorgio Armani 

 



 

 

 

 

 

## **Giorgio Armani A-Blush**

  
**What is it?** A lip and cheek tint.  
  
Tints are a great way to add a pop of colour and this one is beautiful. It’s buildable and gives you a natural, healthy flush of colour with little effort.

 

 

 

 [ ![Strobe Cream, £25.00 | MAC](https://media.sheerluxe.com/gS6TnfHs4PG4wIgnukrPPcgiNB0=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2019%2F05%2F3mac-strobe-cream.jpg?itok=OJ2Vkt6F)

 

 ](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=1203&awinaffid=69421&clickref=&p=https%3A//www.johnlewis.com/mac-strobe-cream/p3067605) 

 Strobe Cream, £25.00 | MAC 

 



 

 

 

 

 

## MAC Strobe Cream

  
**What is it?** A cream illuminator that can be used anywhere and everywhere.  
  
This cult classic is dreamy. It can be used under foundation, applied as a highlighter, and even applied on arms, legs and décolletage for a soft, radiant shine. You can guarantee that this product is in every make-up artists kit.  
  
So, they are my favourite multi-use, time saving products. I hope they help to give you the extra few minutes in bed that we all deserve.

 

 

 

 

 [ ![Lip + Cheek, £20.50 | Milk Makeup](https://media.sheerluxe.com/T0YgK2RPxwajsGykSfuwEoCfL9g=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2019%2F05%2F4milk-make-lip-and-cheek.jpg?itok=H2tOHUOU)

 

 ](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=35269&murl=https%3A//www.cultbeauty.co.uk/milk-makeup-lip-cheek.html) 

 Lip + Cheek, £20.50 | Milk Makeup 

 



 

 

 

 

 

## **Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek**

**What is it?** A lip and cheek stick with a glossy finish.  
  
I adore these sticks. They are so easy to use, come in a great selection of shades and give a dewy, hydrated finish. I adore the shade Perk for a pop of coral colour.

 

 

 

 [ ![Multi-Use Gloss, £20 | NARS  ](https://media.sheerluxe.com/3LNcPrTKMiODCC7BqVFOHiCJUiA=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2019%2F05%2F5narsmultiuse-glosscolours.jpg?itok=iK1JWtH_)

 Multi-Use Gloss, £20 | NARS 

 



 

 

 

 

 

## **Nars Multi-Use Glosses**

  
**What is it?** An illuminating gloss that can be used anywhere.  
  
I love these babies. I’m all about a glow and the great thing about this product is you can use on eyes, cheeks and lips. It can lift the look of your entire complexion, whilst also adding a gorgeous glossy texture.

 

 

 

 [ ![Starstruck Lip & Cheek Colour, £15 | Rosie For Autograph](https://media.sheerluxe.com/KPVaixtHUzCnOHqsAaKz4dcxn0o=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2019%2F05%2F7rosie-autograph-starstruck-lip-colour.jpg?itok=XLvbPv8K)

 

 ](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=1402&awinaffid=69421&clickref=&p=https%3A//www.marksandspencer.com/starstruck-lip-and-cheek-colour/p/p60129161) 

 Starstruck Lip &amp; Cheek Colour, £15 | Rosie For Autograph 

 



 

 

 

 

 

## **Rosie For Autograph Star Struck Lip &amp; Cheek Colour**

  
**What is it?** A cream blusher that can also be used on the lips  
  
This is a great ‘on the go’ product. It’s super creamy making it easy to blend. And the matching cheek and lip colour really complement each other.

 

 

 

 [ ![Glow Mist, £16 | Pixi](https://media.sheerluxe.com/9OXKv6scViEmUXubrInpQeW5ZTQ=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2019%2F05%2F8-glow-mist.jpg?itok=1dMjv0vP)

 

 ](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=35269&murl=https%3A//www.cultbeauty.co.uk/pixi-glow-mist.html) 

 Glow Mist, £16 | Pixi 

 



 

 

 

 

 

## **Pixi Glow Mist**

  
**What is it?** A hydrating spray and a setting spray.  
  
This is Pixi’s most iconic product for a reason. You can use it before make-up to hydrate the skin, half way through the day, over make-up to refresh. Plus, it sets your make-up in place. It has 13 natural oils in it which help to protect and moisturise your skin too. This is a true ‘double duty beauty’ product.
