8 Makeup Products That Double As Skincare

Makeup has come a long way over the years. The reputation that makeup is bad for your skin is changing as products advance with new, innovative technology. More brands are infusing skin-loving ingredients into their products in order to provide the cosmetic function of makeup while also serving the benefits of skincare. A makeup-skincare hybrid, if you will. Essentially, it’s makeup products that include ingredients traditionally found in skincare products, like hyaluronic acid, SPF, and various antioxidants. Whether you’re on the hunt for a concealer that will simultaneously cover and treat blemishes, or a lipstick that doubles as a hydrating serum – we’ve rounded up 8 makeup products that double as skincare. 

Shop these makeup-skincare hybrids:

MERIT, Day Glow Highlighting Balm

MERIT, Day Glow Highlighting Balm

Not only does MERIT’s Day Glow highlighter give a dewy, balmy sheen (sans sparkles), but it also includes a vitamin-rich base, plant-based squalane, and amino acid to produce real hydration and shine. Did we mention it also promotes healthy skin barrier function?

L’Oréal Paris, True Match Hyaluronic Tinted Serum

L’Oréal Paris, True Match Hyaluronic Tinted Serum

It’s almost hard to believe L’Oréal’s True Match Tinted Serum comes from the drugstore. It feels so luxe and high-end on the skin! If you’re looking for a foundation that provides light to buildable coverage and will leave your skin looking and FEELING hydrated, you need to give this product a try. It features 1% of pure hyaluronic acid, designed to hydrate and plump.

ILIA, Color Block High Impact Lipstick

ILIA, Color Block High Impact Lipstick

If the lipstick doesn’t have hydrating ingredients, we don’t want it. Jokes aside, the beauty market is saturated with hydrating lip products, but usually, if a lip product has hydrating ingredients, it tends to have a relatively sheer formula. That’s not the case with ILIA’s Color Block High Impact Lipstick. It packs a punch in terms of pigment and its loaded with apricot seed oil (to lock in moisture), castor seed oil (to soften and soothe), and mango seed butter (to boost elasticity).

$38 @ Sephora
Saie, Dew Blush Blendable Liquid Blush

Saie, Dew Blush Blendable Liquid Blush

Even without its skincare benefits, Saie’s Dew Blush is simply an amazing liquid blush. That being said, lucky for us, it’s also infused with skin-loving ingredients like plant-derived glycerin, licorice root extract, and elderberry fruit extract. All of which work together to nourish and brighten the skin, fight environmental damage, and increase moisture.
