The Ultimate Beauty Multi-tasker You Probably Already Own!

Article by BR Kellie

Who doesn’t love a multitasking product? Like a balm that can moisturise cuticles while holding down fluffy hair. A lip stain that serves as a blush. Conditioner that can double as shaving cream. Multitasking beauty products are wonderful things, and we’ve found the ultimate product that can take care of seven other beauty jobs outside of the job it was created for.

So what is this product we’re so enamoured with? It is none other than the nude eyeshadow palette, and it can be used to do everything from contouring your face to creating a sophisticated nail colour. How? Read on!

Eyeliner. Want to emphasise your eyes? Simply grab an eyeliner brush, dampen it, sweep it along your chosen shadow shade, and then apply to your lash line. Want a softer looking liner? Leave the brush dry, add product, then apply. This is also a really great way to create a show-stopping smoky eye.

Eyebrow Filler. Eyebrows looking sparse? Enhance them by taking your brow brush and using an eyeshadow a couple of shades lighter than your brow colour (you can even mix shadows to create your desired colour), then fill.   

Cheek highlighter. You know the lovely shimmery shades of white, cream and champagne that you use in the corner of your eyes to brighten them? They can also be used on the tops of your cheeks, your cupids bow and down the bridge of your nose as a highlighter. Genius!

Cheek contour. Considering getting into contouring, but don’t want to splash out on product? Trying to downsize your makeup bag but can’t be without your contouring kit? Reach for the matte brown shades of your eyeshadow palette and apply them to the hollows of your check before blending them out. This can also work for super fair skin tones which can’t find a contour colour that suits their skin, just use a light brown matte shadow (check out this video which shows how to contour very pale skin using eyeshadow.)

Nail colour. Create a sophisticated tinted polish by mixing a clear polish with a scraping of eyeshadow. Mix it well so there are no lumps and bumps, then apply.

Lip colour. Love the nude look? Grab your favourite nude eyeshadow and mix the powder in with some balm then pat it on for beautiful kissable lips. 

Finally, if your nude palette contains shades that have a pink or coral hue you can also use them as a blush.

So there you have it – the seven extra ways to utilize a nude eyeshadow palette. So will you be making one part of your makeup bag? Will it replace and lighten the load of your existing one? Do you have any other tips or tricks? Chat away!

24th July, 2015

Im definitely a 2 birds one stone type of girl! This palette sounds perfect I'd love to give it a try!

I like using black eye shadow to set eye liner and coloured ones over a nude lippy to make a custom colour (or for a matchy-matchy look). Love these ideas as well and will be adding this article to my favorites.

Aw yeah, conditioner as shaving cream is my fav multi-tasker! It doesn't dry my skin out either. Love me some nudes, and hope to give this palette a go!

21st July, 2015

How much do I need this in my life? I have no words (i am breathless) this is an actual need!

20th July, 2015

I own many nude palettes. Now I finally know what to do with them.

20th July, 2015

Ohhhh I love this article. I am off to get my nudes palette and have a play with some of these suggestions.

This would be an amazing dupe for the naked palette!! Although I already own the naked palette, this is a much more affordable alternative to own, and I won't feel as bad trying it out as brow powders etc. A girl can never own too many neutral palettes anyway ;)

Love this article! Brilliant palette! I have a Chi Chi Nude palette, I use the brown shade to fill in my eyebrows. I have always been wanting to try this Maybelline Nudes Palette. Exciting!

20th July, 2015

I tried using a brown shadow in my brows the other day but the only brown shade I have was too dark. A palette like this would be perfect for fixing that! I love using eyeshadows as eyeliners too, so many colour options!

Wow! My makeup collection is bigger than I thought! Haha.
