If you’ve got a habit of sticking to the same beauty products, you could be missing out on something even better. What’s more – there are plenty of beauty swaps that can enhance your skin and save you money. If you want to overhaul your routine, check out these five beauty swaps you need to make:

1. Switch Cream Foundation for Mousse

Cream foundation is great if you want maximum coverage, but it can feel rather heavy on your skin. If you want a good level of coverage but a lighter feel, try mousse foundation instead. The extra air in the formula gives it a lightweight feel and lets your skin breathe, but you’ll still be able to enjoy a flawless complexion.

2. Swap Matt Lipstick for a Satin Finish

Matt lipstick can look great, but it can dry your lips out and make them feel uncomfortable. Additionally, it can be tricky to get matt lipstick to last for hours, which means that you’ll need frequent applications. If you want to avoid the high shine of lip gloss and the hassle of reapplying matt shades, opt for satin lipstick instead. It will keep your lips more hydrated and offers a long-lasting finish. You’ll get the impact of matt lipstick, but the creamy formula makes it easier to apply, which means you can create the perfect pout in seconds.

3. Ditch Shaving Foam for Oil

If you routinely buy shaving foam or gel, you could save your money by switching to oil instead. In fact, you don’t need to buy any special formulas or products when it comes to getting soft, stubble-free skin. Apply a little coconut oil to your skin before shaving and you’ll notice better results, and enjoy more supple, hydrated skin.

4. Drop Mascara for Tinted Lashes

If you’re fed-up with mascara clumping your lashes together or running down your face in the rain, definitely you’re not alone. Fortunately, there’s a super-easy fix. Having your eyelashes tinted will make them look darker and more striking, which is exactly the look you’re trying to achieve with mascara. Eyelash tinting only takes around 10-15 minutes, but the results can last for up to six weeks, which means you can shave precious minutes off your makeup routine every day and enjoy fuller lashes for longer.

5. Scrap Wipes for Cleansing Cloths

If you’re still using wipes to remove your makeup or cleanse your skin, you might want to think again. It’s almost impossible to fully remove makeup with wipes, which means there’s a good chance they’re leaving debris on your skin, which could contribute to dry, flaking patches, as well as breakouts. Switching to a cleansing cloth and cleanser can transform your skin and it’s better for the environment too!

Streamline Your Routine

The right beauty swaps won’t just deliver better results, they’ll streamline your routine and make it easier than ever. Instead of spending hours struggling with complicated application techniques, you can look fabulous in minutes with these handy beauty swaps.

Until Next Time~
