Your time and money are precious commodities — but that doesn't mean you have to short-change your beauty routine. To help you get started on your spring makeover, here's a list of our favorite dollar-stretching multi-tasking beauty tricks.

Tint your lips and cheeks

Freshen up for spring with a pretty "girl next door" flush. Try a lip stain in a rosy or coral hue — and dab it on your cheeks for a natural glow.

Get luminous with shimmery eye shadow

Use golden or shimmery pink eye shadow as a highlighter on your cheeks and brow-bones. Dab it on your neck and chest for a fresh-yet-sultry evening look.

Apply 2-in-1 moisturizer with sunscreen

You don't need to layer on a skincare treatment product, moisturizer and sunscreen each morning. Make a multi-purpose hydrator with antioxidants and SPF 15 your go-to daily skin protector.

Prime and hydrate at the same time

Prep your skin for long-wearing makeup and reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores with a primer that plumps the skin with hydration. Opt for an anti-aging formula that protects against UVA and UVB damage.

Tame brows with clear lip balm

Keep your lips kissable and make your brows stay put with a lightweight clear lip balm.

Use conditioner as shave gel

Out of shave gel? No problem. Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs instead. It works just as well — and will leave your skin unbelievably soft and supple.

Double-duty beauty tip #7: Bronze your eyes

Make your eyes pop without fussing with eye shadow or liner by brushing bronzer on your lids.
