12 Makeup Skin Care Hybrid Products With Major Benefits for Your Complexion

Makeup trends have evolved rapidly over the past few years, from full-glam faces being the norm in 2016 to dewy minimal makeup taking over TikTok in the 2020s. With the many beauty changes came a highlight of makeup skin care hybrids that offer the benefits of nourishing and moisturizing skin care rolled into a makeup product. It’s the perfect solution for those who like to wear makeup but don’t want to use products that clog their pores or when skin needs extra TLC. Below, discover 12 makeup skin care products to refresh your makeup routine for added skin care nutrients with a touch of pigment that makeup provides.  

What Are the Benefits of Makeup With Skin Care?

Makeup skin care hybrids are a great way to enjoy the coverage and color of makeup with added skin care benefits. The benefits of makeup with skin care are similar to nourishing skin care items like serums and moisturizers to help minimize pore size, repair uneven skin tones and minimize dehydration by keeping skin hydrated. Keep in mind that the individual benefits of makeup with skin care will vary depending on the specific product and brand you use. 

The products mentioned below are all formulated with the skin in mind, for added hydration that lasts long after the product has been removed. Additionally, if you still like the look and application of traditional makeup without the skin concerns, reach for the roster of non-comedogenic (non-pore clogging) makeup from L’Oréal Paris. Update your makeup favorites with traditional makeup and makeup skin care hybrids from the drugstore favorite that cares for your skin with a powerful payoff.
