Whether you’re travelling, or just trying to cut down on the number of products taking up space in your makeup bag, a multi-use product is always something useful to have.

Multi-use makeup products are any kind of product that has more than one use, and there are a surprising number of these products out there that we love.

If you want to keep being creative with your makeup, without taking up too much space on your shelves, here are some space-saving multi-use makeup products that everyone needs.

• Multi-purpose moisturizer

Moisturizer is one of the most important skincare steps – especially if you suffer from dry skin. But, did you know that you can get moisturizers that perform a range of different functions?

You can now get moisturizers that do more than just hydrate your face, they can also act as a primer, cleanser, and face mask all in one.

• Highlighting gel

If you want to give your skin a healthy glow a liquid highlighter is a product that you should always keep in your makeup bag.

Perfect for mixing in with your foundation for added glow, or using on top of makeup to highlight the tops of your cheekbones and nose.

You can also mix it in with your body cream for all-over radiance.

• Brow and lash gel

It seems strange to have a clear gel for both your brows and lashes, so why not combine them into one product?

Perfect for creating minimal makeup looks, a clear gel can give you the appearance of longer eyelashes while making sure that your brow hairs stay in place all day long.

• Hydrating oil sticks

If you have super dry skin and sometimes find yourself needing some extra hydration on the go, a hydrating oil stick is the ultimate multi-use product to throw in your purse.

Offering top to toe hydrating for your face, body – and even your hair – a hydrating stick is an easy fix for dryness wherever you are.

• Cream blush/bronzers

Cream blushes and bronzers are super popular at the moment – and for good reason. These cream products are extremely versatile, probably our favorite multi-use product of all time.

These can be used on your face, lips, and eyes to create a showstopping monochromatic look and are the ultimate solution for creating a full face of makeup with the fewest makeup products possible.

• Facial mist

The final product we have is a good facial mist which has a range of different uses to make your skin feel happy and fresh all day long.

Start by using it in your skincare routine to hydrate between products, then you can use it as a primer to help keep your makeup looking dewy all day.

Finish your makeup off with a few sprays of mist to prevent your makeup from looking dry and cakey throughout the day. You can even keep a mist with you in your bag to give your skin a top-up of hydration wherever you go.
