5 Multitasking Beauty Products that Work Overtime
People say there's no such thing as multitasking, and flitting back and forth across multiple projects is a recipe for distraction. However, there are some great multitasking beauty products that are happy to do many jobs at once! We've rounded up some of our favorites for anyone who likes one product to take care of several problems.
1. Josie Maran 100 percent Pure Argan Oil ($48.00, sephora.com)
This product (pictured) absorbs easily, giving the skin just the right amount of dewy glow and also provides protection without the heaviness of deep moisturizing creams. It's appropriate for all skin types as a hydrating and nourishing moisturizer, and you can apply it day or night. Try it for accentuating cheekbones or helping to blend-in blush for a natural look. It can also soften elbows, cuticles, and other rough patches of skin. The 1.7 oz. bottle is perfect to toss in your bag or desk.

2. Eucerin Aquaphor ($14.29, target.com)
Chances are you already own this intensive moisturizer, as it's an excellent skin protector from wind and cold. Did you know it could be used to keep your eyebrows in place, or transform your favorite powder eye shadow into a creamy one? You can also smooth it over irritated skin to get rid of razor burns. And take note: Your blackheads will squeeze out easier if you apply it on your nose the night before.

3. Revision Skin Intellishade (SPF 45), (price varies, revisionskincare.com)
Formulated with three advanced peptides and broad-spectrum sunscreen protection, this tinted moisturizer blends naturally with your skin and fights signs of aging. Intellishade works on all skin types, but we are particularly fond of the Matte finish, which does a great job controlling oil and minimizing pores. Warning: It's tough to get - this product is only sold through dermatologists and authorized dealers listed on the Intellishade site.
4. YSL Touche Eclat ($41, sephora.com)
This must-have is great for everything from hiding dark circles to providing a quick, mid-day touch up for the face. Dermatologist tested, this concealer/hi-lighter hybrid leaves sheer coverage that truly brightens the face. The discreet applicator is easy to use, and you can take it with you to look refreshed and revived anytime.

5. Nars The Multiple ($39, sephora.com)
Apply this creamy, non-oily formula on your upper cheekbones, inside the corners of your eyes or on your brow bone for a natural subtle glow. Light and sheer, it's easy to use and a small amount goes a long way. It comes in versatile and flattering colors, too. The only bad thing about it is it's hard to pick a shade, so you may end up with a few (like I did).
