12 Hybrid Beauty Products That Work as Both Makeup and Skincare

e.l.f. Poreless Face Primer

As the first step after sunscreen in your makeup routine (unless of course you're using a tinted SPF), makeup primer is the perfect place to start including those dual-action products. It's an easy one too, as pretty much all primers these days have nourishing ingredients to give your skin a treat as they blur imperfections and prep your skin for makeup.

We love this affordable option from e.l.f., which uses tea tree oil to combat blemishes and vitamins A and E to perfect and protect your complexion. Plus, it fills in pores to create the perfect base for foundation.

Elizabeth Arden Flawless Finish Skincaring Foundation

Speaking of foundation - Elizabeth Arden's innovative Skincaring Foundation gives you long-wearing, natural coverage on top of hydration and nourishment with its dermatologically tested, humidity-resistant formula, which has been enriched with vitamins C and E and hyaluronic acid. The shade range is pretty impressive, too!

bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Hydrating SPF 25 Foundation Stick

We love everything about this bareMinerals foundation, from the convenient stick format to the additional SPF 25 to the lightweight formula that also hydrates your skin like a moisturiser. Tinted SPF moisturiser that's easy to apply on the go? Count us in!

BY TERRY Hyaluronic Hydra Foundation

Another lovely hydrating foundation with SPF is this BY TERRY formula. Build up your desired coverage to create a matte, luminous finish that drenches the skin in moisture, thanks to hyaluronic acid. It'll control shine, plump out wrinkles and fine lines and create an overall healthy glow with light-reflecting pigments.

Illamasqua Skin Base Concealer Pen

With high coverage in a matte finish, you'd expect this concealer pen to feel a little cakey or dry you out. But Illamasqua have infused the formula with pro-vitamin B5 to balance your skin's moisture, leaving it looking soft and smooth. Plus, the antioxidants in vitamin E shield the skin from free radicals to fend off signs of ageing.

Stila Pixel Perfect Concealer

This lightweight concealer not only gives you medium-to-full coverage without caking or creasing, but is also loaded with skin-loving ingredients that sink into your problem areas. There's elderflower extract to give your skin antioxidants and anti-ageing bioflavonoids, baobab to calm and depuff irritated areas, and Irish sea moss for additional hydration.

Pat McGrath Labs FetishEyes Mascara

A nourishing mascara is a must for any minimalist beauty routine, cutting out an extra eyelash serum. We love this Pat McGrath mascara, which uses conditioning peptides and panthenol to keep lashes hydrated, soft and shielded from free radicals. And of course, the blacker-than-black pigment is extremely flattering as it lengthens your lashes without any clumping.

Jane Iredale Purebrow Brow Gel

Similarly, a nourishing brow gel is a great way to maintain the health of brow hair without having to invest in an additional serum. Jane Iredale's gel holds unruly brows in place and keeps them conditioned and healthy with algae extracts. Plus, with clear and tinted versions available, you can create more natural or more defined brows to suit your style!

Burt's Bees Moisturising Tinted Lip Oil

This lip oil gives you the intense hydration of a balm or chapstick, whilst also adding a pop of colour. The coconut oil soothes chapped lips as the meadowfoam seed gives you a high-shine look.

Jane Iredale LipDrink SPF 15 Lip Balm

You get the best of every world with this Jane Iredale balm, which not only tints the lips with colour and keeps them moisturised with avocado and carrot oils, but also protects them from sun damage and free radicals with green tea, vitamins C and E and SPF 15.

HydroPeptide Perfecting Gloss Lip Treatment

For some extra oomph, this treatment will give you plumper lips in minutes, while also adding sheer gloss in a range of gorgeous shades. Plus, the triple weight hyaluronic acid in the formula attracts and retains moisture to soften lip lines. And when you want more vibrant colour, just pop it over a lipstick!

Dr. PAWPAW Mini Nude Collection

We couldn't compile multi-tasking products without including something from Dr. PAWPAW. These balms defy categorisation (and are only in the lip category to keep things simple), as they moisturise everything from lips, hair and dry patches of skin. Plus, the tinted balms are great for adding a healthy flush of colour to cheeks and lips. The formulas contain rejuvenating papaya, antibacterial aloe vera, hydrating olive oil and moisturising castor oil.
