Inspired by the two types of weather we get in autumn, we think our products should do double duty, too. So we found some fabu multi-purpose beauty just for you. Forget well-stuffed bathroom cabinets and make-up bags that refuse to zip. And spend not on one-purpose wonders. It’s time to get multi-purpose pretty.

Bourjois Lip Scrub and Baume, £4.95 (RRP: £7.50), is the double-ended beauty treat for lips. One side of the wand has a mini-buffer that exfoliates lips, while the other side coats your lips in rich moisture. That’s a multi-purpose way to pout perfection.

e.l.f. Super Glossy Lip Shine SPF 15, £1.50, gives your lips that healthy dose of colour and shields your lips from pesky sun rays. Multi-purpose protection has never looked so good. Always use an spf balm underneath. And remember, chiconomistas, put it on generously to stay gorgeous. (It’s one of our beauty rules.)

e.l.f. Lip Stain, £3.50, uses a double wand to both stain and shine. Yes, beauty addicts, this stain comes with a gloss. So when we get one of those hot days in September, we’ll be melt-free and getting multi-wows.

Bare Escentuals SPF 15 Foundation, £17.28 (RRP: £19), powders away any oil while giving our skin an extra dose of healthy sun protection, on top of our daily spf. Its purpose is perfect for hot, sunny days that send pores into oil overload.

So thank you, autumn, for your dual nature when it comes to weather and for inspiring us to be multi-purpose beauty mavens.
