Two-in-one makeup products that take care of your skin too

Multitasking products are good for our time (and our budget). Today's beauty technology is able to condense the benefits of makeup and skincare into one nifty little bottle, cutting your application time in half while doubling (even tripling) the perks.  

We listed down the best multi-hyphenate products in the market for beautiful looking skin now and in the long run. 

 

1. Pond's Age Miracle BB Cream (P399)  

Makeup Pro:

A lightweight cream that covers spots, scars and pigmentation, plus it adjusts well to any skin tone for a seamless finish. The overall effect is a fresh and radiant look.

 

Skincare Pro:

The experts at Pond's have infused each BB Cream with the science that made their Age Miracle line a success. It has Intelligent Pro-Cell Complex™ Formula that helps stimulate skin cell regeneration to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots with continued use. It even has SPF 30 PA++ to protect skin from UV rays.

 

How To Use:

Can be used alone like foundation or as a primer before makeup. 

 

2. Benefit Fake Up (P1,300)  

Makeup Pro:

This creamy, twist-up concealer is a great buddy for spot corrections. It covers dark areas without feeling heavy on the skin and it comes in three easy to blend shades (light, medium and deep) for any skin tone.

 

Skincare Pro:

This unique concealer has a hydrating ring that keeps skin supple and radiant all day. It has vitamin E (a great natural anti-oxidant) and apple seed extract that soothe inflammations.

 

How To Use:

Simply dot over dark spots, or swipe across the high planes of the face like a highlighter. Its hydrating ring leaves a dewy finish on skin leaving a flattering sheen when applied on cheekbones, the nose bridge, and chin.

 

3. The Body Shop Moisture White Shiso BB Serum Inside (P1,395)  

Makeup Pro:

The beige tone of this BB cream looks great on Asian skin. It has little to no gray tinge so no need to worry about a stark, white cast when applied on the face. This product is easy to blend, covers blemishes immaculately, and brightens you up in an instant.

 

Skincare Pro:

The Body Shop’s Shiso line is a popular brightening remedy for dull, lack-luster skin. It reduces excess melanin to improve luminosity when used religiously.

 

How To Use:

Apply after your moisturizer. Pump out a pea-sized amount on your fingertips and spread across the face gently and evenly. For oily skin, sweep translucent powder over your T-zone to combat shine. 

 

4. Bobbi Brown Protective Face Base (P2,800)  

Makeup Pro:

A thin, creamy substance that helps adhere makeup to skin for an extended period of time. It absorbs quickly on skin and blends with utmost ease. The texture is lightweight and smooth for even makeup application.

Each tube is equipped with moisturizing sodium hyaluronate and pentavitin to instantly hydrate, plump and smooth skin. Caffeine and algae extract soothe and help promote an even, healthy-looking complexion.  

How To Use:

Apply generously all over the face up to the neck before your layer of foundation.

 

5. Juice Beauty Irresistible Glow Facial Highlighter (P1,650)  

Makeup Pro:

This organic, cream highlighter adds a pinkish glow to anywhere you apply it, but we love it on the apples the most. The effect is blushing cheeks that look like your own skin.

 

Skincare Pro:

The Juice Beauty brand prides itself as an all-organic makeup product so expect no harmful chemicals or parabens present here. Natural products tend to irritate the least thus more people are drawn to them. This particular highlighter stick has antioxidants and acai oil for hydrated and healthier skin.

 

How To Use:

Twist up the tube and swirl once on the apples. Blend lightly with your ring finger upward, toward your temple.

 

6. Laura Mercier Lip Silk (P995)  

Makeup Pro:

Lip balms are one of the most common things women carry in their purse, and with good reason. This one in particular, amplifies your natural lip color and adds a bit of sheen to boot.  

Skincare Pro:

This lipstick looking balm is infused with SPF 15, antioxidants, and vitamins A, C and E to hydrate and protect lips from external aggressors and pollutants. It keeps puckers smooth, moist, and chap-free.

 

How To Use:

Wear alone to rehydrate your lips or as a base for your lipstick.

 

7. Murad Acne Treatment Concealer (P995)

 

Makeup Pro:

This cream-based concealer stick comes in either Light or Medium to suit the typical Filipina skin tone. It blends out easily on problem areas and covers discolorations effectively. The formula won't dry you out and is an easy fix if you're rushing out the door.

 

Skincare Pro:

Murad has mixed in two percent salicylic acid into this slim concealer as a way to address pimples and acne. We love it for it hides and heals all in one. 

 

How To Use:

Dot onto pimples and blend out with a triangle sponge. This concealer works best when you apply a mild moisturizer or anti-inflammatory product on your problem area a step before.

 

8. Clinique Pore Refining Solutions Instant Perfecting Makeup (P1,850)

 

Makeup Pro:

An easy-to-carry tube that dispenses an extremely light liquid foundation. Expect each application to blend naturally with skin and adapt to your own tone. It covers the face evenly and brightens it as well.

 

Skincare Pro:

Padina pavonica extract and salvia sclarea work together to shrink the appearance of pores while salicylic acid gently rids the face of dead and dulling skin cells.

Apply a modest dollop on your hand, dab with a foundation brush and spread on skin. Make sure to check all angles for an even application.
