One major gripe that every beauty guru faces on the daily is time. Between rushing to create a full face before heading out the door (or onto a video chat conference call) to touching up on the go, perfecting and maintaining your beat is hard work. To make your makeup routine a little faster (and much easier), might we recommend adding dual-ended products to your routine? We’re talking about double-sided powder brushes, eyeliner-and-brow combos and more. Ahead, we rounded up a few of our faves.
