Having a tray full of makeup isn’t practical for every day use and certainly not for travelling. Think about all the time you could save in the morning if you didn’t have to fumble around your vanity trying to find your lip balm or eyeliner. Travelling would be so much lighter and easier as well if a couple of products were multitaskers, significantly reducing the number of products you need. While you’re at it, you’re saving money, too.

Take for example, this hand cream that doubles up as a lip balm or this lipstick that can also be used on the cheeks and eyes. Easy and convenient products like these that have multiple purposes are essential to the lazy girl since it saves time, effort and kechings. Two, three, or even four for the price of one. Below, we’ve rounded up seven of the most clever multitaskers we love that can help you do a lot with a little. (Or, you could just turn your current products into multitaskers. We for one like to use lipstick as eyeshadows.)

Burberry Beauty Cat Eye Liner

A winged eyeliner and a smokey eye, all in one pen? Now that’s what we call efficiency. Lightly smudging the colour into the outer corners of the eye and blending out with your fingers can easily give the sultry look without any effort. Top it off with the liquid liner and you’re ready for a girl’s night out. (Bonus: it can also be an eyebrow marker with light-handed strokes.)

This liquid highlighter is no ordinary highlighter for it can be used in many different ways. Use it as a primer under foundation for that lit-from-within look, mixed into the foundation for a more all-over and even glow, or as the most intense highlight known to mankind by just tapping it onto your cheekbones. Whichever you choose, this is the product you’d want to have if you’re seeking the glow.
