Picture a makeup routine that achieves glowing cheeks, a little color on your lips, and a wash of color on your eyelids. All accomplished with a single, clean product. This is the beauty of multipurpose makeup items; they are changing the way we think about our beauty bags.
In this blog, we will take a deep dive into the benefits of multipurpose formulas, explore how multipurpose products fit into a clean-beauty approach, and show you how to easily create a beautiful, simplified look.
Essentially, multipurpose makeup is any formula designed to be used across multiple areas of your face. Multipurpose makeup could be a creamy stick that glides easily across your cheeks, lips, and eyes, or a liquid stain that gives a natural flush of color to your lips and cheeks and lasts throughout the day. Multipurpose makeup aims to replace multiple single-use products with a single, clever formula.
These formats include sticks and stains, and they can be champions of versatility. These formulas are often buildable, so they can be sheered out for a soft "my skin, but better" look or layered for more drama.
Multipurpose makeup is at the heart of many products from Caley Cosmetics, like our Jet Set Multi-Stick, a cream formula for cheeks, lips, and eyes, or the Color Crush Lip and Cheek Stain, a long-wearing liquid that adds a tint to cheeks and a stain to the lips.
The current shift toward multipurpose makeup is not just a passing trend; it reflects the natural evolution of clean beauty. Below are a few reasons why this is likely to persist.
With multipurpose formulas leading the way, clean beauty feels easier, lighter, and more intentional.
So how do you work a multi-stick into your everyday routine? It comes down to a little technique and creativity. Use your fingers to lightly tap the product onto the apples of your cheeks, blending it upward. Once you are comfortable with the amount on your cheeks, take your ring finger and swipe the product onto your eyelids for a cohesive wash of color. Finally, press the product onto your lips as well for a totally monochromatic look.
When you use the same shade on your features, you instantly have a cohesive, flattering look that takes no time. Using one color takes away the guesswork.
If you want more color payoff, apply the product directly from the bullet. To get more of a stain effect, warm the product between your fingers to help it melt and blend easily before tapping it onto your cheeks.
A product like the Jet Set Multi-Stick was designed to make this entire process easier. It features a creamy, probiotic-infused formula that glides effortlessly over your cheeks, eyes, and lips. It also helps support your skin barrier and gives a beautiful, luminous finish.
To achieve a variety of looks, you do not need a lot of products. With just two clean makeup sticks, you can build a full and versatile capsule.

This duo is your best friend while away from home. In stick form, it is travel-friendly and easy to pack, perfect for touch-ups on the go.
A quick swatch test can tell you a lot about how a clean makeup stick will perform. For a texture test, swipe the product once across your skin for a sheer wash of color. Then swipe again in the same spot to see how it builds. Keep an eye on how long it takes to set. That timing tells you how long you have to blend.
When it comes to pigment, formulas made with pure pigments usually deliver strong, true color. Pure pigments often deliver vivid, long-lasting wear without heavy, cakey layers. Caley formulas use pure pigments to provide long-lasting, vibrant color without synthetic dyes.
For extra wear, set the center of your eyelids with a touch of translucent powder to help the color stay in place. For lips, after the first application, blot once, then reapply to build a longer-lasting stain.
It has never been easier to refine your routine while still enjoying every step. Multipurpose makeup is the future of clean beauty. The clean beauty world loves minimalist versatility and thoughtful formulas. Achieve a smooth finish with just a few swipes for a natural, dewy, and healthy glow.
