items You really don't need to spend a fortune to find makeup that works. I've put together a full face using some of my favourite affordable beauty finds available on Amazon — from glowy base products and brilliant blushes to brows, eyes and lips. Some ar...
I love a product that does two jobs in one! This feels really refreshing on the skin and creates a slightly tacky base that helps makeup grip beautifully. Use it again once you've finished your makeup and it leaves everything looking fresh and glowy.
essence Jelly GRIP Aloe Spray 50ml
This is such a lovely option if you want good coverage without your base feeling heavy. The formula feels lightweight, there's a great choice of shades and it leaves the skin with a gorgeous healthy glow. A brilliant everyday base.
Maybelline Skin Tint Super Stay Serum 10
A little goes a long way with this one! It gives brilliant coverage while still feeling hydrating, so you don't need to pile loads on to get the job done. There's a reason this has been such a favourite with beauty lovers for so long.
e.l.f. Hydrating Camo Concealer, Light Ivory
Part of the viral Lumi range, this is such an easy way to add warmth and glow to your complexion. The creamy formula blends beautifully and gives you that lovely bronzed finish without looking heavy or overly done.
L'Oréal Paris Bronzer Stick Lumi Bronze 110
I've been using this bronzer for years and still come back to it. It's perfect for setting cream bronzer, adding a little extra warmth and helping everything stay in place. Simple, affordable and one of those products that just does the job.
Rimmel Natural Bronzer 002 Sunbronze 14g
The shade range on these is brilliant, so there's something for pretty much every look and skin tone. The colour is really easy to build, meaning you can keep it subtle or go much brighter, and it leaves such a gorgeous finish on the skin.
SHEGLAM Color Bloom Liquid Blush Matte - Love Cake
Another product that went viral — and I can see why. The formula feels lovely, the shades are gorgeous and you get a really pretty pop of colour without spending a fortune. Definitely one of those viral beauty products that's worth a look.
NYX Buttermelt Powder Blush, 12HR Wear, Vegan
Such an affordable little highlighter and it gives the prettiest glow. You can keep it subtle or build it up when you want something more noticeable, and I love that it can be used anywhere you want a bit of extra shimmer. There are several shades to...
Makeup Revolution Highlight Reloaded 10g
I'm a big fan of tubing mascaras and this newer Sky High version is a great one. It gives my lashes loads of length without leaving me with panda eyes by the end of the day, and I love how easily it comes off with warm water.
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara
Liquid liner can be a nightmare, but I find this one really easy to work with. It gives a clean, seriously black line and, once it's on, it doesn't seem determined to migrate halfway across my face! A great option if you love a defined eye.
NYX Epic Ink Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner, Black
I've collected a few of these little palettes because they're SO good for the price. Each one has four coordinating shades with a mixture of matte and shimmer finishes, so you've got everything you need to create an easy eye look without buying a hug...
e.l.f. Bite-Size Eyeshadow 4 Matte & Shimmer
I've bought this time and time again. It keeps my brows in place while adding colour and fullness, but it's still really quick and easy to use. Even when I can't be bothered with a full face of makeup, my brows are getting done — and this is the prod...
NYX Eyebrow Gel Thick It! 16H Wear Brunette
Sometimes you can't beat a good old-fashioned pencil lip liner! These are affordable, last forever and come in some really lovely nude shades. Easy to use, easy to sharpen and a great little staple to have in your makeup bag.
Rimmel Lasting Finish 8HR Lip Liner 90's Nude
A really affordable lipstick with a comfortable satin formula that doesn't leave my lips feeling dry. There are plenty of shades to choose from too. Top tip: if you love the look of Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk, have a look at Chauffeur for a simila...
Revolution Satin Kiss Lipstick, Chauffeur
This went seriously viral when it launched and it's such a lovely finishing powder. There are several shades to choose from — although the pink is my favourite! — and it's great for setting everything in place and finishing off your base.
