With so many cool beauty brands out there, it is easy to overload your collection with the latest and greatest products.
But cutting down on the makeup products you use can make your daily routine significantly easier — and it's a great way to save money!
With so many specified products out there, it may seem like every single one of them is crucial in completing your beauty routine. But some beauty products can actually serve other functions than what they're intended for. In fact, they do double-duty.
Using your skin/hair supplies on different areas may seem strange at first, but most of them are totally safe for both face and body, so there is no danger in putting them anywhere, albeit externally.
Check below to learn how to get even more use out your beauty products — you'll be surprised what some of them can do.
Taking care of your face, hair, and body can actually be simpler — and cheaper — than you thought.
All you need are a few key products in your vanity, which can translate into an arsenal of soothing, hydrating, and beautifying tools.
#1: Black Mascara Coats Lashes And Covers Grey Hair
We mostly use mascara to lengthen our lashes and make them look more luscious then they are on their own.
But did you know you can also use your mascara tube to cover stray grey hairs on your head?
Simply separate the hairs and swipe the mascara over them so that they better blend in with your hair.
#2: Lipstick Can Color Your Lips And Neutralize Under Eye Circles
Swiping on a red lip can make your mouth pop and give your makeup look a dose of glamour.
But — if you can believe it — lipstick can also help you hide under eye circles!
The red color will help neutralize the blue hue under your eyes, making it less noticeable after you put on concealer.
#3: Coconut Oil Can Moisturize And Remove Makeup
Is there anything that coconut oil can't do?
Much more than a double-duty beauty product, it can do everything from moisturize your skin to nourish dry hair.
But you can also use it to remove your makeup — since it's totally natural, you can swipe it over your face and eyes without worrying about harmful chemicals.
#4: Makeup Wipes Can Remove Your Makeup And Freshen You Up Post-Workout
Makeup wipes usually help us get all of that beautiful makeup off our face that can cause breakouts, if left on too long.
But they can freshen up other parts of your body if you need to feel clean on the go.
Rather than bringing cumbersome bath products with you to the gym, you can swipe a makeup wipe over yourself after a workout to get rid of grime and sweat.
#5: Argon Oil Can Be Used For Conditioning Your Hair And As A Styling Product
Argon oil is a key ingredient in many hair products — and for a good reason.
It's a natural moisturizer that helps hair grow healthy and strong.
It is also a great way to cut back on split ends if you style your hair with heat a lot; try adding some in the next time you style your hair.
#6: Lip Balm Can Moisturize Your Lips And Tame Frizzy Hair
Lip balm is our best friend, especially in the winter months, when lips tend to get tender and crack.
But you can also make use of it in on your head, as a way to tame annoying stray hairs.
Simply swipe it over any flyaways after you've put up your hair — its sticky texture will keep them down.
#7: Dry Shampoo Cleans Your Hair And Can Hold Bobby Pins In For Styling
Dry shampoo is a liquid-less method of getting excess oil out of your hair.
Some people swear by it as a way to keep their hair looking cute for a few days without having to wash it.
You can also spray bobby pins with it before placing them in your hair for extra hold — perfect for elaborate updos!
#8: Foundation Can Hide Blemishes And Prime Your Lips
Foundation is a key component when making your face look flawless — it evens out your skin tone and helps hide blemishes.
It can also be used as an effective lip primer if you are getting ready to wear a bold lip color.
Rubbing it into your lips neutralizes their hue, so that the lip color really pops against your skin.
