Makeup Multitaskers

These days, a foundation can do so much more than just conceal-it can fight aging or acne, too. And that's not the only beauty product that boasts side talents. Click through to see 10 items that qualify as MVPs thanks to their versatility.






Problem Salver

Favored for its chapped-lip-healing power, Smith's rose-scented balm is also light enough to use on all your rough spots, including jagged cuticles, ashy elbows and more. Smith's Rosebud Salve Tube, $6; Sephora.com







Wax On

This tea-infused candle-which melts into a rich, creamy lotion-is a complete spa experience in a jar. Bathe in the aromatic scent it releases as it burns, then use the melted product as a paraffin treatment or full-body moisturizer. Melt T Glow Lotion Candles, $44; HWoodBeauty.com






Contour Guide

Shine on, literally! By swiping this popular NARS shimmer stick over any of your contour-friendly features-eyes, cheekbones, nose-you can lend a little shimmer to anything you want to stand out! The Multiple, $39; Sephora.com






Clean Cream

If your dry skin can't stand up to harsh sanitizers, try Veripur sanitizing cream. Light and nongreasy, it provides bacterial protection while keeping your skin soft, silky and hydrated. Veripur Hand Sanitizer Moisturizer, $5.99; Walgreens.com





In the Bag(s)

Philosophy's eye concealer leaves your peepers looking refreshed long after you wash off your makeup. How? The built-in skin care"core," made up of moisturizer, peptides and antioxidants, keeps circles and wrinkles at bay. Eye Hope, $28; Philosophy.com




Learn the tricks that help transform your "imperfections."


A Wash Come True

In addition to soothing, exfoliating and sun damage-reversal benefits-thanks to ingredients like colloidal oatmeal, micro-diamonds and acai berry antioxidants-Borba's multipurpose cleanser also effectively removes makeup to save you time (and mascara-streaked towels)! Age Defying 4-in-1 Cleansing Treatment, $10.95; Borba.com








Brow Bargain

Featuring a touchup pencil on one end and a smoothing brush and tweezers on the other, this tool is all you need to keep your brows completely groomed at home or on the go. JK Jemma Kidd I-Conic Eyes BrowPencil, $16; Target.com






Eye-Opening

Achieving the perfect smoky eye has never been easier than with Pixi's Lid & Line eyeliner and eyeshadow-made of all-natural, nonirritating ingredients-since it comes with a smudger for blending your color just so. Pixi Lid & Line Collection,$18; PixiBeauty.com







Spot On

This spot treatment works to heal while it conceals, as the foundation contains acne-fighting salicylic acid. To boot, unlike similar products, the medicinal mixture isn't chalky, thanks to Murad's sophisticated product formula. Acne Treatment Concealer Light, $21; Sephora.com






Smack Dab

Your lips are best able to absorb moisture right after exfoliation, when they're free of dead skin. Enter Tarte's dual-sided lipstick, which has (real!) sugar crystals on one side for scrubbing and a vitamin E-based lip balm on the other for sealing your smackers with moisture. fRxtion Natural Sugar Exfoliator &Lip Balm Duo, $15; TarteCostmetics.com
