If you're expected to do (at least) two things at once, why would you expect any less from your beauty products? Here are 10 of the best, most multitasking products out there.

By Marta Topran

Shu Uemura Cleansing Oils
Clean Slate
Shu Uemura
 

Welcome your face's new best friend: Shu Uemura Cleansing Oils. Applied to dry skin, these miracle workers literally make makeup melt, even your most stubborn waterproof mascara. Rinse off with lukewarm water and your skin will be soft and hydrated, not tight and dry. And no worries, there are special formulations just for oily, aging, and dry skin.

$62-$72 for 450 ML, Shu Uemura.

 
Sephora's Sugar Body Scrub
Buff Bod
Sephora's Sugar Body Scrub
 

For those of us who can't seem to remember to lotion up after a shower (who really has time anyway?), look for body scrubs that double as a body cream. We love exfoliators like Sephora's Sugar Body Scrub, which contain hydrating almond oil to slough and moisturize in one easy step.

$18, Sephora.

 
Trish McEvoy's Beauty Booster SPF 15
First Base
Trish McEvoy's Beauty Booster SPF 15
 

Why put makeup on if it's not going to last? Trish McEvoy's Beauty Booster SPF 15 minimizes fine lines, protects you from the sun, and makes foundation stay put, plus it can be used as a firming and moisturizing mask when you apply a thick layer and leave it on for 15 minutes.

$85, Nordstrom.

 
Giorgio Armani's Face Fabric foundation
Flawless Face
Giorgio Armani's Face Fabric

No messy liquids here—Giorgio Armani's Face Fabric foundation can best be described as whipped mousse in a tube. The silky, SPF 12 formula blends easily and leaves a semimatte finish. It dries smooth, eliminating the need for powder.

$45, Giorgio Armani Beauty.

 
Laura Mercier's Undercover Pot
Spot Remover
Laura Mercier's Undercover Pot

Let's face it, stress causes pimples and not being able to cover zits causes stress. This evil cycle can be stopped with Laura Mercier's Undercover Pot. This travel-friendly trio includes two shades of superstrong concealer to mix your perfect hue and a sheer loose powder to set it all.

$34, Laura Mercier.

 
DuWop's Shadowlift
Eye Opening
DuWop's Shadowlift

A lifting eye cream and shimmery, sheer shadow in one, DuWop's Shadowlift delivers. These neutral shades contain antioxidant vitamins E and C and boast the tightening power of marine collagen.

Sue Devitt's Eye Intensifier Pencil
Baby Blue Eyes
Sue Devitt's Eye Intensifier Pencil
 

A long-known secret of makeup artists is here to help sleep deprived moms—navy eyeliner makes eyes look instantly brighter and more awake. Sue Devitt's Eye Intensifier Pencil is long-lasting and easy to apply thanks to its chubby proportions and attached smudging sponge.

$22, Beauty.com

 
Benefit's BadGal Blue
Lash Magic
Benefit's BadGal Blue

Not all mascaras are created equal. Benefit's BadGal Blue not only volumizes lashes with its thick brush, but its blue pigments also makes the whites of your eyes pop.

GloSpa's Exfoliating Lip Wand
Lip Therapy
GloSpa's Exfoliating Lip Wand
 

Banish that end-of-the-day dry lip feeling with GloSpa's Exfoliating Lip Wand. Microcrystals help rub away dead skin cells while jojoba oil conditions lips. No need to wipe anything off or put on balm after.
