Bonus belles: a round of applause for the multitasking makeup

Make your mornings more efficient with clever make-up that can multitask. Emma McCarthy introduces the industry’s new overachievers

The brow fix + eyeshadow

Multitasking make-up expert Giorgio Armani has launched a new grooming innovation for brows. But it doesn’t just tame brows: each pot also serves as an eyeshadow, eyeliner and — thanks to the iridescent finish which mimics real hair — it can even touch up your roots. (£26.50, selfridges.com)

The finishing powder + correcter

If you own any complexion perfecter, make it Bobbi Brown’s Retouching Powder. Not only does it even out skin tone and the appearance of fine lines, dark spots and redness, it also corrects not-quite-right foundation shades and provides a dewy glow when worn under moisturiser. (£26, bobbibrown.co.uk)

The mascara + lash treat

Chantecaille has made its cult Faux Cils mascara even better with its Longest Lash formula and the addition of Sympeptide 17 — a serum that stimulates lash growth for up to 25 per cent longer lashes in just two weeks. (£60, spacenk.com)

The primer + fake tan

Already feel your summer glow fading? Give it a boost with Solar Tan from Hourglass — a revolutionary dual-action primer to give your complexion a healthy glow, from a light bronze with the first application to a week-in-Capri-esque colour after five days use. (£48, spacenk.com)

The concealer + wrinkle cream

Skip the eye cream in favour of Benefit’s Fakeup Hydrating Crease-Control Concealer. The nifty little stick contains two formulas — one to hide dark circles and one to diffuse fine lines for a perfectly smooth finish. (£18.50, benefitcosmetics.co.uk)

The tint + stain

It’s not just Orangina you can shake to activate. By Terry’s new Tint to Lip colour offers a sheer watercolour tint or give it a good shake to release the colour pigments for a deeper stain. Choose between two near-neon hues, juicy coral or violet pink, enriched with antioxidant cherry water and plumping acerola. (£22, harrods.com)

The serum + foundation

Tomorrow, bareMinerals launches its first liquid foundation. And it’s not your average slap. Along with a kind-to-skin formula free from oil, silicone, parabens and fragrance, it also contains a vitamin C-charged coconut-based brightening serum. Apply using the reservoir brush for custom coverage drop by drop. (£26, bareminerals.co.uk)
