Over the past couple of months, I have been searching for skin-enhancing makeup at purse friendly prices. Don’t get me wrong, I love the high end products but sometimes I like to spend a little less. And who doesn’t love a bargain?!
Good news, I have been successful in my mission and found some beauties for you.
My Top 5 Budget Heros
L’Oreal Paris
I tried this brand’s highlighter in two different shades and I liked them but not enough to make a repeat purchase. Then I spotted this one in champagne which I absolutly love!
This colour is divine and enhances your make up look for both day and night. Either mix a few drops with your foundation or use to highlight cupids bow, cheekbone, down your nose and under or on top of your eyebrows.
A goddess seal of approval!
Elf
I haven’t bought a product from Elf for over 10 years but one of their recent ads piqued my interest and maybe the word ‘glow’ made it seem more appealing.
Now this little number is one to have in your handbag at all times. It’s a hydrating highlighter stick that creates a luminous glow with a slight golden tint at a bargain price of £8.
This stick will come in handy when you’re feeling a bit arghhh and you need a sprinkle of dewyness. Add this to the usual places on your face and in less than a minute you’ll look positvely glowy.
Also an ideal product for a teenage daughter or son that’s just starting to explore makeup.
Morphe X Maddie Ziegler
Another handy face gloss stick to have in your handbag. I’m really into the beautiful glass skin look and this product helps achieve that.
Even if you’re not hugely into makeup just incorporating this at the end of your morning skincare routine will enhance your look.
You can swipe on your face, around your eyes as well as your lips, even on your collarbone and shoulders. It can also be used to create a wet eye effect.
This is a multi-use stick and a definite budget win.
Barry M
I’m over the moon with this little illuminating serum and even happier with the price.
If you don’t have time in the morning to use several products to create a dewy appearance then why not use just one.
Wear as a primer for a stunning glassy look. This clever bottle has my fave ingredient Hyaluronic Acid as well as rejuventating Rose hip Oil, calming Jojoba Oil, nourishing Vitmain E and fruit extracts to soften and stimulate collagen synthesis.
This Illuminating serum will brighten your skin and leave you looking radiant with hardly any effort needed.
A must buy!
Revolution
For a good few years now I have only used primers from luxury brands.
The higher cost is offset by the better quality and maybe it’s just me but I’m more sparing with the these products so they tend to last 2-3 months.
Wanting to explore cheaper brands I came across this stunning primer. To be honest I wasn’t expecting much and it took me by surprise.
This preps the skin for makeup application that lasts all day (I can vouch for that) as well as producing an Illuminating soft-focused glow.
The price is a non issue, this is one of the best primers I have ever used and a repeat purchase for me!
