THE BEAUTY INSIDER:
OUR TOP MULTITASKING PRODUCTS

Let Dr Roebuck’s Boost & Tighten Serum be your one-pump secret. Not only does its rich formula blur out imperfections, shrink the look of pores and brighten your overall complexion but, it also acts as a wonderful primer creating the perfect canvas for make-up to glide on perfectly. Quick tip: apply your foundation straight after working this into cleansed skin to achieve the best finish.

The hero from VB’s second make-up collection with Estée Lauder, Morning Aura is the ultimate complexion multitasker. Part primer, part moisturiser, it offers the most perfect lit-from-within glow. The texture is soft and balmy, so use under make-up for overall radiance or press over worn-in foundation for an instant lift.

Frankly, there isn’t much that this little tube of magic doesn’t do! Providing not only great coverage but hydration and SPF 50+ protection too, it offers everything you could ever want from your skincare and make-up in one single pump. The result? Perfectly plump, hydrated skin with zero flaws and one helluva glow.

Think of the brand new Velvet Matte Foundation Stick from NARS as the foundation equivalent of its best-selling Soft Matte Complete Concealer. Boasting a smooth, creamy texture with a velvety matt finish, this is ideal for using all over the face as full coverage and then topping up on the go to mattify the T-zone.

It’s hard to talk about multitasking products without mentioning The Baby Doll Kiss & Blush duo stick by Yves Saint Laurent. Offering a lip and cheek colour in one, simply sweep the creamy formula onto the apples of your cheeks to create a natural flush, or dab it onto your lips for a pop of colour.

Hair treatment, face cream, cuticle oil, make-up remover… coconut oil is having a moment and women everywhere (us included) are slathering it on anywhere and everywhere. In fact, Sister & Co.’s 100 per cent organic coconut oil is such a pure blend you can even add it to your diet (we’ll even eat a teaspoon on the go) to enhance beauty from within.

Inside the super-luxe white casing of this Tom Ford eye and cheek duo are two pigmented powder shades for everything from blush to highlighter and luminous eyes… When applying to the face, dab the lighter shade all over the cheeks to sculpt and then add a pop of the brighter shade to the apples of cheeks.

Whether you’re looking to brighten a dull, tired complexion, calm irritated skin or simply boost your mood, facial mists make a great addition to any beauty regime. Our favourite? La Mer’s The Mist. Not only does it work as a primer, make-up setting spray, and can even be spritzed on top of your moisturiser for an extra boost, but it’s also perfect for those times during the day when your complexion is in desperate need of a refreshing pick-me-up.

At the moment we can’t stop talking about the launch of the new Huda eye palette. Why? Because it’s the ultimate multi-look palette, featuring four different textures - matt, pressed pearl, chrome and pure glitter - in one single compact.
