Affordable Makeup | UNDER £10

by - 7/09/2014







Not everyone has lots of money to spend on everyday makeup, I know I don't! So I thought I would post a few items that I use that all cost under £10. There are other makeup brands and products out there but I've chosen what I use and what I find the best.

Lets start with foundation. So I've selected the 'Dream Matte Mousse' by Maybelline. This comes in a mousse/spongy form, that cost around £8. This foundation is easy to apply and remove and gives you a full coverage without using too much. This foundation lasts long for myself because of its pigmentation it means that you don't have to use a lot, which means you get more for your money.

The next makeup item is the 'Simple Eye shadow Palette' by Beauty UK. Now this palette has a range of colours, it has: 2 browns, a golden colour, white, blue, purple, pink, grey, green, and a deeper green. This palette allows you to create many different looks using only one selection. This palette was around £4.50-£5. They do have a selection of different ones including different colours, its all just down to your preference.

The next essential makeup product I have is 3 different types of mascara. In my opinion a good mascara can make or break a look. Sometimes you don't want a heavy look and other times you do. The first one I have for you in the 'Studio Lash Instant Volume' by Miss Sporty(the pink one). This really does what it says on the label, it gives your lashes a longer more voluminous look, INSTANTLY! this cost £2.99. The next mascara is the 'Fabulous Lash' by Miss Sporty(the black one) as well. This is more of a subtle mascara that applies a thin layer almost natural looking, and this was £2.99 as well. The Last mascara I have is the 'Waterproof and Long Lash' by Natural Collection. Now if you looking for a basic mascara that just makes your lashes darker and more defined then this is the one for you! its basic and simple, and doesn't do much more then what it says. It is also SUPER cheap coming in at only £1.99!

Next there is a simple, basic eyeliner pencil by Miss Sporty and this was £1.99. It has a roller edge allowing you to expose more of the liner. This glides on smoothly and comes off easily. However, this does smudge quite a bit, so I recommend spraying hairspray on top(not too close to your face) and this will hold it for longer.

Now, there is a MUA bronzer that was £2.99. Its in the medium shade and is a hard powdered form. This does come up VERY dark, so even if it doesn't look that dark in the container, it does on skin! This holds all day giving you a more defined cheekbones, or can even just be used to give you a bit of colour.

The LAST item I have for you is the 'Rosy Pink Blusher' by Miss Sporty. This is as basic as a blusher gets. It gives you pinker, fuller looking cheeks and that's it. A blusher is a blusher and that's it. I like the colour of this one as it sets off my pale skin tone. This was only £1.99.

So I hope I've shared with you all the good makeup products that are under £10! Cheap makeup can be just as good as something expensive, so try them out first and see how it works.

Thankyou for reading my lovelies xxxx
