Skin Savers! The Best Double-Duty Foundations
Why choose a beauty product that's only good for one thing?
The Secret to Perfectly Applying Bronzer
Finding the perfect foundation is something that often takes months or years to accomplish - and once you find it, never let it go. The beauty product not only covers up all of your flaws, including those not-so-pretty blemishes and discolorations - but it can also sub in for under eye concealer in a crunch. Since we're all trying to save every second we can with our makeup routine, why not search for a foundation that is multi-purpose?
Many of the products on the market today have great coverage and also add illuminating benefits, anti-agers, and even acne preventing ingredients. Take a look at our list of the best dual purpose foundations - and start whittling away the clutter on your makeup counter now.
1. Fresh Umbrian Clay Freshface Foundation SPF 20
This foundation purifies and balances as it refines and hydrates your skin - while also giving you natural, dewy coverage for a flawless finish. Added bonus - it's SPF 20. As always, all Fresh products are made without parabens, sulfates, or synthetic dyes, so it is that much better for your skin. (Fresh Umbrian Clay Freshface Foundation SPF 20, $42, at sephora.com)
