Beauty Breakthroughs

Traditional makeup products have become obsolete as a result of the rapid change in our lifestyles. Today, consumers are looking to save time and decrease the size of their makeup bags, therefore, cosmetics companies have created new multipurpose products.

Below are products that not only enhance your beauty, but treat your skin problems.

Skincare

Super foundations: From sun protection to blemish clearing, these products do it all.

Sun protection

Mineral foundation: Mineral makeup contains calcite and mica, which act as natural substitutes to artificial dyes and talc found in normal foundations that cause pimples. Also, Estee Lauder's Nutritious Vita-Mineral Makeup with SPF 10 promises to give you natural healthy looking skin that is fortified with super-potent antioxidants like pomegranate.

Even out skin tone

Infused with Vitamin C, Clinque's new Even Better makeup with SPF15 promises to even out skin tone and diminish age spots in six weeks.

Fight acne

Rimmel London's Stay Matte is a clarifying matte foundation with salicylic acid that promises to clear and purify skin.

More than mascara

These mascaras strengthen the lashes and brighten eyes while lengthening lashes.

Lash extending mascara

Maybelline Lash Stiletto, infused with a patented pro-vitamine, promises to extend the lash by 70% with each stroke.

The Fusion Beauty LashFusion Micro-Technology Pure Protein Lash Plump promises to plump your lash with its bio-adhesive keratin protein that adheres to the lashes with each stroke, helping to increase the lashes moisture and elasticity.

Brighten the colour of your eyes with the help of light-reflecting metallics that illuminate your natural eye tints. Covergirl's New Exact eye lights promises to make even the dullest of eye colours pop with just simply strokes of this mascara.

Multipurpose creams

Although there are no proven ways of getting rid of cellulite, modern advancements in the science of cosmetics annually come up with ways of minimising even the most dramatic stretch marks and cellulite.

Clarins High definition body lift not only helps reduce cellulite, but promises to prevent new ones from forming by also releasing excess fat. The cream melts into the skin to increase absorption.

Creams and lotions containing retinol such as Olay's regenerist targeted tone enhancer promises to stimulate collagen and promote the growth of elastic-fibres that help in filling in stretch marks.

Face lift in a bottle

Achieve younger looking skin with the help of these products that promise to deliver the same benefits as face-lifts. For $78, Lancome's Genifique promises to restore your baby face with its youth activating concentrate, along with this is Olay's ProX cream that promises to alter your skin's surface by signalling an increase in skin turnover for your face, the way it did when you were younger.

Packed with antioxidants including Kinetine, Kinerase Extreme Lift is the ultimate face lift in a bottle with its promises of looking 10years younger in just five minutes.

Finally, instead of spending a lot of time and money at a spa, why not treat your skin to the same benefits by investing in a Clarisonic face skin care system. This promises to not only cleanse your skin deeply but exfoliate and massage your skin, resulting in a younger looking skin.
