Editors Selected 10 Top Multipurpose Beauty Products Under $25 That Simplify - and Improve - Beauty Routines

NEW YORK, Feb. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dotdash Meredith's REAL SIMPLE unveiled the ten top multitasking products in the 2022 REAL SIMPLE Smart Beauty Awards. Emphasizing economy and efficiency, these winners aim to simplify routines and cost less than $25 each. The 2022 Smart Beauty Awards are available in REAL SIMPLE's March issue, on sale now and at RealSimple.com now.

"For this year's Smart Beauty Awards, we followed our ethos of cutting through the clutter and parred things down for our audience to highlight the select products that truly make a difference in our daily beauty routines without needing to do a complete overhaul. These winners solve problems that our readers are always asking us about, such as a concealer that fakes an awake look, mascara that colors and curls, and body lotion that comes in sustainable packaging among others," said Liz Vaccariello, REAL SIMPLE Editor in Chief.

To create the awards, REAL SIMPLE beauty editors considered hundreds of products that have enhanced their own routines over the past two years. Price, effectiveness, and simplicity were kept top of mind in choosing the top ten winners under $25, as REAL SIMPLE readers value a smart, streamlined regimen.
