Top 5 Budget Make-up

No need to pay a fortune to change up your beauty routine with these high street stars.

1
Maybelline Superstay 24 Matte Ink Lipstick - groundbreaker, £9.99

WHY WE LOVE IT

This literally lasts all day on your lips without budging an inch!  A great range of colours that are highly pigmented and glide on smoothly.

“I have never worn a more complimented lipstick than this. Nurses in hospitals have asked me to write down the exact shade and brand, influencers have quizzed me about it… It has a super deep pigment with a matte finish that has incredible staying power and doesn’t seep into any emerging lip wrinkles. You have to have a steady hand as once it’s on it’s on but the definition is fantastic. Only issue is that it’s really hard to take off! Olive oil or a face oil will get it off in a jiffy though.”

NYX Epic Ink Liner, £9

WHY WE LOVE IT

This is intensely pigmented and has brilliant staying power.  The brush is slender and flexible allowing you to achieve both thick and fine lines for your desired look.

“I love the winged eye look and this eye liner is the perfect tool to create it.  A jet black colour that doesn’t smudge.”

Soap and Glory Thick and Fast Mascara, £10

WHY WE LOVE IT

We are in love with this mascara brush.  It’s big, bushy and clingy (well, it clings on nicely!) and gives great coverage to all of your lashes.

“I always go back to Soap and Glory’s Thick and Fast mascara if I’m after length.  Applied at the roots, it gives the effect of falsies and doesn’t transfer around my eyes.”

Maybelline Eraser Concealer - Sand, £8.99

WHY WE LOVE IT

A well priced concealer that feels light but gives good coverage. The texture makes this easy to blend and it does a great job of covering dark circles.

“A creamy textured concealer that surprisingly worked well on my skin tone.  Blends well and doesn’t cake and comes in at a very purse friendly price!”

L'Oreal Paris True Match Liquid Foundation, £9.99

WHY WE LOVE IT

Natural looking and easy to blend, this foundation is a great choice if you are on a  budget.  It’s easy to blend and doesn’t cake or settle into any lines.  With a good choice of shades too, it’s easy to see why we love it.

“This is my all time favourite foundation.  Colour matching drugstore foundations can be a nightmare but the shade range for True Match covers so many different skin tones and colours.  I also like how versatile it is – you can use a light layer for a glow or build it up for a flawless finish.”
