The Best Skincare-Makeup Hybrids of 2025

At The Green Kiss, we know a thing or two about skincare. It's more than just washing your face. It's a daily self-care ritual that nourishes, protects, and enhances your skin's health. Traditionally, that means a lineup of natural cleansers, moisturizers, sunscreens, and targeted treatments. But what if some of your makeup could do that work, too? Enter our favourite multitasking edit: skincare makeup.

What Is Skincare Makeup?

It's natural makeup that goes beyond coverage to actively support your skin. It's where performance meets care. These multitasking formulas are packed with skin-loving ingredients like antioxidants, peptides, ceramides, and botanical extracts that hydrate, protect, and address common skin concerns like dullness, dryness, and fine lines. These are skincare-first formulas with powerhouse ingredients. Think foundations that hydrate and brighten, lip colours that nourish and plump, and mascaras that condition while they define. It's makeup that makes your skin look and feel better with every wear. Let's break down our favourite skincare-makeup hybrids of 2025.

The Green Kiss Skincare Makeup Routine: Clean Hybrids That Do It All

Best Skincare Primer: 100% Pure Luminous Primer

The 100% Pure Luminous Primer seamlessly bridges the gap between skincare and makeup, offering both cosmetic enhancement and nourishing care. As a primer, it creates a light-reflective base that smooths skin texture and enhances the longevity and finish of your makeup. But unlike traditional primers that rely on silicones (because we're not a fan), this formula uses silica and is packed with skin-beneficial ingredients like red wine resveratrol, vitamins, and antioxidants. These components help protect against environmental stressors and free radicals, effectively supporting skin health over time. The result is a product that not only helps your makeup look better but also works behind the scenes to improve and protect your complexion. GK Pro Tip: Want a mattifying primer with similar skin benefits? Try the 100% Pure Mattifying Primer to reduce shine, smooth the complexion and ensure long-lasting wear of your makeup. 

Best Skincare Colour Corrector: Indie Lee Color Balancer

The Indie Lee Color-Correcting Cream is a true hybrid product that combines the immediate benefits of makeup with the long-term perks of skincare. Designed to neutralize redness and even out skin tone, it glides on with a green tint that blends seamlessly into a natural beige finish to instantly enhance your complexion like a sheer, glowy primer. At the same time, it's packed with soothing botanical extracts like Tiger Grass, Arnica, and Gentiana Lutea Root, which calm irritation and inflammation. Added niacinamide works to refine pores and improve skin texture over time, while antioxidants help protect and nourish. The result is a product that not only creates a smooth, even base for makeup (or works beautifully on its own), but also actively improves skin health with every wear.

Best Skincare Meets Bronzer: Indie Lee Bronzing Drops

The Indie Lee Bronzing Drops are a perfect example of skincare makeup, offering the visual boost of a bronzer with the nourishing benefits of a skincare serum. With their lightweight, buildable formula, these drops deliver a natural-looking, radiant bronze that enhances your complexion instantly without streaks, orange tones, or heaviness. But beyond the glow, they're infused with skin-loving ingredients like niacinamide to visibly refine pores and even skin tone, along with avocado, squalane, and vitamin E oils to deeply nourish and hydrate. Whether worn alone, mixed with your natural facial moisturizer, or added to foundation, they leave skin soft, smooth, and visibly healthy, giving you that sun-kissed look with real skin benefits underneath. These drops are your healthiest glow - bottled.

Best Skincare Concealer: Fitglow Beauty Conceal +

The Fitglow Beauty Conceal+ goes beyond traditional concealer by delivering high-performance coverage and active skincare benefits in one formula. While this concealer effectively conceals blemishes, dark circles, and discoloration with a smooth, creamy texture and full-coverage pigment (psst: a little goes a long way), it also works behind the scenes to treat and improve the skin. Infused with potent botanicals like Phyto Elastin, Organic Green Tea, Vitamin K, and Licorice Root, this concealer helps reduce inflammation, supports skin healing, brightens under-eye areas, and improves the appearance of fine lines and uneven tone. It's makeup that not only covers imperfections, it actively works to correct them, making it an essential multitasker for anyone looking to enhance their complexion while nourishing it at the same time.

Best Skincare Foundation: Fitglow Beauty Foundation +

Fitglow Beauty does it again! Like, their concealer, their foundation is a true multitasker, acting as both a high-performance foundation and a nourishing skincare treatment. While it delivers medium to full coverage with a radiant, dewy finish, its plant-powered formula goes far beyond surface-level beauty. Infused with herbal ingredients like Licorice and Bearberry to brighten and even skin tone, and enhanced with Vitamin C and Amber to target fine lines and dark spots, this foundation actively supports healthier, more luminous skin over time. Antioxidants also help protect against environmental pollutants and blue light damage, making it a skincare-forward option for daily wear. With a smooth, blendable texture and a skin-loving formula, it gives you flawless coverage while treating and protecting your complexion underneath. Need a cruelty-free makeup brush refresh?

Best Skincare Lip Colour: Fitglow Beauty Lip Colour Serum

This isn't your average lip gloss. Our bestselling Fitglow Beauty Lip Colour Serum is a true makeup-skincare hybrid that delivers a pop of colour and serious lip care. It's packed with Plant Ceramides and Pomegranate Sterols to hydrate and strengthen the moisture barrier, while Vegetable Collagen works to plump, smooth, and fight visible signs of aging. The glossy finish feels silky, not sticky, and gives your lips a naturally fuller look. So yes, it looks like makeup, but it acts like skincare. Think of it as a treatment serum in lip gloss form - one that makes your lips look and feel better with every wear. (Don't believe us? Read our customer reviews.)

Best Skincare-Makeup Hybrid Blush: Mad Hippie Lip & Cheek Tint

The Mad Hippie Lip & Cheek Tint is a multitasking beauty essential that perfectly embodies the skincare-makeup hybrid. While it delivers a beautiful, buildable flush of colour to both lips and cheeks, enhancing your natural features with a soft, matte finish, it also nourishes and protects your skin throughout the day.

This skincare-powered pomade helps promote fuller, thicker brows over time by conditioning hair follicles and encouraging natural growth.
