Makeup can be confusing. With so many products to put on our face (foundation, concealer, eyeshadow, lipstick, blush, and the list goes on), multi-purpose makeup products are highly sought after now.

They make life easier in two ways: they greatly lighten the load of our makeup bags and reduce the time spent switching between products.

Whether you are looking for a moisture stick that you can use on your entire face or a contour and highlight palette that promises an insane amount of glow, don't worry.

This list of multi-purpose makeup we have curated for you is bound to have something to add to your makeup arsenal.
