Our Favorite Multi-Purpose Products

As Earth Month unfolds, it's the perfect time to reflect on our beauty routines and embrace products that not only enhance our skin but also minimize waste and overconsumption. Here at Shimmer, we're passionate about curating multi-purpose skincare and makeup essentials that streamline your routine without compromising on quality or efficacy. Why clutter your vanity with ten products when three can effortlessly do the trick? Join us as we shine a spotlight on our favorite versatile gems that not only simplify your beauty regimen but also contribute to a more sustainable approach to self-care.

We love a great cream palette! This formula melts right into your skin for natural looking dimension AND you basically can’t use it the wrong way! These shades glide right on your cheeks, lip or eyes. Is it bush? Is it bronzer? Is it eyeshadow? It’s all of the above!

This one’s for anyone who wants the least amount of skincare products possible. Not only does it feel so nourishing and smell like a tropical vacation, this cleansing oil will get super deep in your pores without stripping your skin, remove all your makeup and hydrate your skin all at the same time. If you want to only use one product before you go to bed at night, we recommend it be this one!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about this serum! This will achieve so many goals for you! It’s a hydrating serum with peptides to help improve the look of your skin overtime. As soon as you put it in, its silky smooth texture feels amazing and it adds an instant glow! You can wear it on it’s own for slight coverage and evening of the skin tone or wear it as a primer under your foundation. You can also use a few drops of the darkest shade mixed into your foundation or moisturizer as brining drops! Plus, it has SPF 30! It’s the best daily sunscreen I’ve ever used. It’s skincare, makeup and sunscreen all in one.

Available in four flattering shades, this simple stick is just the pickup your skin needs! Its creamy formula makes a great long-wearing blush or lipstick, plus we recently use it as a pop of color on someone as eyeliner!

We would be remise to not mention the incredible Makeup Eraser collection during any multi-purpose list, but especially during Earth Month! I know it sounds almost too good to be true, but these reusable cloths remove all your makeup with just water. Yep, that’s right. Just the cloth under warm water and across your skin. Their patented microfibers gentle remove dirt, oil and makeup in just a few swipes. Then, toss in the washing machine and use over and over again. Added bonus, the back side of the cloth gives your skin a gentle exfoliation. No more buying single use cloths that dry out your skin.
