There are tons of products that have dual purposes, so keep cool and grab a fab multi-purpose product. These products are especially helpful for late-sleepers and those who rush to get ready in the morning. Beauty multi-taskers also give your wallet a break. Whether you are a full-time student, working professional, or on-the-go mom, these beauty solutions will save you time and money. Lipgloss as cheek color, this cheat is perfect for the upcoming warm summer weather. Lipgloss can add a youthful pop of color to the cheeks, while adding a dewy glow. Jennifer Lopez is a big fan of this trick, and she always looks flawless. She dabs a little gloss over her bronzer for a sultry effect. Oh J.Lo, how we love your bronzy glow.

BEAUTY TIPS

Concealer doubles as a dependable eye primer. It helps your eye makeup look more vivid and adhere nicely to your skin. Also, a nude or white eyeshadow can create a similar effect. Ladies with deeper skin tones, like the lovely Lupita Nyong’o, can keep their eyeshadow game on point with the help of concealer underneath, helping shadows stay on more easily and look brighter.

Ah yes, the holy grail of multi-purpose products. Coconut oil will change your life. This multi-tasker can be used as a makeup remover, shaving cream, deep conditioner, and for the oh-so-trendy practice of oil-pulling (swishing oil around in the mouth to improve oral health), which is a favorite habit of Gwyneth Paltrow’s. I mix coconut oil with olive oil and conditioner for a luxurious deep conditioning hair mask. Get on the coconut oil bandwagon; I promise you will not be disappointed.
