Recession Chic: Multitask & Save With These 10 Multipurpose Makeup Picks!
There are a few things in life I do not regret: 1) picking out all the Kit-Kats from the Halloween candy bowl instead of giving them to the trick-or-treaters, 2) telling my 10th grade English teacher that her gold sports blazer looked like tin foil, and 3) stocking my makeup bag full of multipurpose products, like Nars' Multiple Luminizer stick for example. For anyone who doesn't have a compulsive cosmetics-buying problem like me, all-over color products not only help you save money with their multitasking abilities, but they're also a cinch to use (especially when they're finger-application-friendly or come in stick form), and conserve space in your purse! Get rid of your mini-collection of blush, lipsticks, and accompanying brushes and opt for a gel-based cheek and lipstain by Lorac. It's sheer enough to look natural even with the most rushed and haphazard of touch-ups and requires no additional tools other than a mirror (or not even that, if you've had lots of practice)! Or freshen up in record time (and ease) with Josie Maran's fingerpaints -- a space-saving palette of cream eyeshadow, blush, highlighter and lipcolor all in one, no brushes necessary!

Beauty Bargain: Get The Givenchy Shimmer Bronzer Look On Any Budget
Don't you just hate it when you flip through a beauty magazine and find a must-have that simply needs to belong in your makeup bag... and then you look at the price? I mean, $53 dollars for a shimmer bronzer palette from Givenchy? Yeah, high prices are to be expected of Givenchy, and the colors are gorgeous, but $53 dollars for a sparkly glow is kind of overkill when there are so many ways to achieve it at a fraction of the cost! MAC's multicolored powder ($27) may not be as neatly compartmentalized as its far-more-expensive designer counterpart, but it still gives you the same balance of matte and pearl shades. And if you're still willing to splurge somewhat, Bobbi Brown's bronzing shimmer block is a fan favorite -- at a much more reasonable $38.
