Double duty: Makeup products that are good for your skin
Multi-purpose beauty saviours that save time, money and space in your vanity cupboard.
Blame it on Covid, the rising cost of living, the pared-back approach of skinimalism (that’s skincare + minimalism), or the fresh-faced, no-makeup makeup trends that have emerged in the last few years. More and more women are looking at scaling back on their beauty routines, opting for multi-functional makeup that saves time and space while taking care of their skincare needs. The good news? Beauty houses are constantly launching new products that blur the lines between makeup and skincare. Here are some of our favourite beauty hybrids you can find at Clicks.
