If you’re constantly seeking to add shortcuts to your beauty regimen, you already know that multi-use products are your best friends. Lip and cheek products, in particular, are essential for creating monochromatic looks that range from natural looking to bold and colourful. Plus, they’re practical both at home and on the go, whether you’re dipping out for a long weekend or trekking across another continent. From sticks and creams that vary from sheer to opaque, to balms in shimmery to matte finishes, it’s hard not to find one you’ll want to make a permanent part of your makeup kit. And with so many options out there, the number of looks you can create with them seems endless! Without further ado, here are 7 of our favourite cheek and lip products for a seamless makeup look.

Halo Sheer to Stay Color Tint Lip + Cheek, Smashbox

1-smashbox-halosheertostaycolortint-sunset

Available in five joyful shades, this cheek and lip tint is nice and buildable despite being quite pigmented right out of the gate. We enjoy its matte, slightly blurring finish and lightweight tube, which makes it easy to carry around for touch-ups.

This colourful, oh so creamy stick by Nudestix is a must-have for any cream blush fan. We’re obsessed with the variety of shades it comes in (about a dozen!), its built-in makeup brush, and beautiful, natural finish. A couple of swipes are all you need to brighten up your complexion.

We dare you to resist this heart-shaped stick—it’s just too cute for words! Infused with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, it comes in three shades and is easy to apply onto your lips thanks to its elongated shape and surprisingly creamy, hydrating texture. And of course, it blends just as nicely onto your cheeks.
