A multi-use face color is one cream you can wear on cheeks, lips and eyelids, which is why it has become the product people reach for when they want a finished face in three steps rather than seven.
Multi Use Face Color 01 works across the face, and it is as useful for a simple everyday look as it is for touching up while you are out.
What Is Multi-Use Face Color?
It is a makeup product you can apply to several areas of the face. Color on the cheeks, a natural tint on the lips, a hint of warmth on the eyes: one product, several different effects.
The soft texture blends easily into skin and builds, so the finish stays natural and seamless. Because it is a cream rather than a powder, it melts into skin instead of sitting on top of it, which is what keeps it looking like color rather than makeup.
The Two Shades
Multi Use Face Color comes in two shades. Which one suits you depends on how much warmth you want and how present you want the color to be.
Multi Use Face Color 01
Multi Use Face Color 01 is a healthy toasted sienna that reads as though it comes from within. It gives a definite flush and warms the whole face.
Multi Use Face Color 02
Multi Use Face Color 02 is a muted, warm mauve pink. Quieter than 01, and closer to a soft, refined flush than a noticeable one.
Either sheers out for a one-tone look or layers up for depth, so the choice is about the character of the color rather than how strong it can go.
Why Use Multi-Use Face Color
It is faster
One product finishes cheeks, lips and eyes, so a routine that would otherwise take several steps comes together quickly.
There is nothing extra to carry, a single item gives you a coordinated one-tone look, and it is small enough to be genuinely useful for touch-ups.
It is adaptable
Natural or dramatic, the same product gets you there depending on how you use it.
Sheer it out for a soft flush, or layer it for depth. Blending lets you land on the intensity and texture you actually want.
How to Apply It
On cheeks
Apply a small amount high on the cheekbones and blend upward toward the temples for a natural flush.
Blush Brush 006 works well here. Its tiered tip keeps color from spreading too widely and follows the contour of the cheek, so it goes on evenly.
On lips
A small amount gives a soft tinted look, and you can layer until you reach the depth you want.
Multi-Use Brush 005 gives a naturally diffused lip line rather than a hard edge.
On eyes
Useful for adding a soft flush and a little glow to the lids.
Multi-Use Brush 005 fits the uneven surface of the eyelid and lays color down evenly.
For detail work at the inner corner, along the lash line, or under the lower lashes, Bent Smudge Brush 004 is the better choice.
It is small and dense, and bent 10 degrees near the tip, so it angles into tight spaces easily.
Can You Use It with Other Makeup?
Yes. It layers cleanly with the rest of a routine.
With foundation
Apply foundation as usual, then use the face color to bring flush, glow and dimension back to the cheeks, lips and eyes.
With highlighter
For extra glow, lay a thin line of highlighter over the top, on the upper cheekbones and brow bones. Catching the light there adds dimension.
As an eyeshadow base
Used underneath eyeshadow it creates a more cohesive, dimensional result, with color and shine worked in from the start.
Why define brush's Multi-Use Face Color
Multi Use Face Color is made in Japan, with a smooth, spreadable texture that melts into skin rather than sitting on it.
Sheer it out and it stays light. Layer it and the color gains depth and dimension.
Wearing one shade across cheeks, lips and eyes is what gives a one-tone look its coherence, and changing how you apply it changes what you get from the same product.
If you want your everyday makeup to be simpler without being more limited, this is where to start.
