Times are tight. Extremely tight. Everyone's so strapped that everyone's looking for every and any way to save money. You've probably noticed the influx of articles sharing secrets on how to spend less at the grocery store or on your wardrobe essentials. We have a big tip on how to save beaucoup bucks when it comes to your makeup routine. Opt for multipurpose pencils.
What are multipurpose pencils? Glad you asked. Most pencils are designed to only be used on one specific area of your face. The kind we're talking about you can use on your eyes, lips and cheeks. You can even contour in some cases. They have another big benefit. Not only will they keep money in your pocket, they'll also free up space in your makeup bag.
For the most part, they're just like other pencils. They come in a range of colors and require sharpening on occasion. So you'll also need to invest in a sharpener if you don't already have one.
Here are the best multipurpose pencils to streamline your makeup regimen.
