(WTNH) - Keeping up with the latest beauty trends can be costly, but make-up artist Candace Corey says a lot of your products can do double duty.

- Hair styling can be very expensive but you can get a salon look without tons of products. Use ones that have multiple benefits like the Pantene Heat Protecting & Shine spray that will give you the protection that you need from blow dryers and curling irons but it also give your hair the healthy shine so you don't have to buy a separate bottle of shine drops.

- Broke your last curling iron, but also need a flat iron too? Go for one like the ProSilk Gold flat iron that is professional quality with ceramic technology but is designed with beveled edges so you can curl your hair as well. It also has nano technology to kill build up and bacteria, so you don't have get clarifying hair products. More money for your pocket!

- Body protects can really burn a whole in your pocket especially if you have to use prescription strength things like deodorant. Look in the drug stores for ones labeled "clinical strength" like Secret Clinical Strength Waterproof that has odor absorbing capsules that respond to heat and humidity even after being in the pool or the beach but also has double benefits because it acts like a treatment with the skin conditioners that sooth skin.

- Get great skin and the polish that you want in a foundation by using a tinted moisturizer like Olay Definity Color Recapture. It uses glucosamine to help with anti-aging, hydrates skin with a touch of foundation but it also has triple benefits of correcting uneven skin tone so the more you use it the less makeup you need.

- Make your color stretch by using multi-taking products like Make Up Forever Aqua Color which is a high pigmented water proof eye color that is designed to also be used on lips and cheeks as well.

- You can even stretch what you have at home by using things in a new way. If you are in the summer, use your winter face powder as the perfect natural eye shadow. By patting on the color, you will get the consistency that you want and keep from wasting face powder.

- Have a great bronzed eye shadow? Get a blush brush and dust arose your collar bone or tops of cheeks for a highlighter.

- Use your cream eyeliner as an eye shadow by coloring part of the lid and then blending it with your finger to create a new eye shadow color.
