Budget-friendly beauty brands

Some of my most-loved makeup brands are on the low-end price range that doesn’t break the bank but, at the same time, makes you look so glamorous that people think you have.


The first brand I have to talk about is Revolution Beauty, which you can find online at Revolutionbeauty.com or in Superdrug and Boots. They have a range of makeup and skincare products for really affordable prices. Whether you love a full glam face or you prefer a natural look, they have a massive collection with something for everyone. They also sell a variety of themed collections, such as the ‘Friends’ theme, which included lipsticks and palettes named after all of the characters. Their prices range from £4-£20 and my personal favourite product is the Conceal and Hydrate Concealer (£7).


Collection is another brand on the lower end price but performs like its high end. Again, it's available in Superdrug and Boots or online at collectioncosmetics.com. Their most hyped and talked about product is the Lasting Perfection concealer, which went viral on social media a few years ago with influencers recommending it. It’s only £4.19 but has been compared to high-end brands such as Urban Decay’s Naked Skin concealer. I have repurchased this product a few times and would recommend it. Most of their products are under £10 too, so it’s great if you’re on a budget.


Another firm favourite is NYX Cosmetics, which only landed in UK stores in recent years. What makes this brand stand apart from the others is their bold range of colourful makeup, encouraging people to experiment with different shades. Although it's slightly pricier than Revolution and Collection, it has more of a luxury feel to it with an emphasis on makeup being artistry. You can find the brand in Boots and Superdrug. My favourite product of theirs is the Epic Ink Liner- it’s the best eyeliner I’ve tried, even compared to the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner.


I would recommend all three of these brands to anyone, especially if you’re on a budget.
