For all the beauty lovers out there, having a love for all things make-up and skincare can be an expensive addiction. Finding make-up that is good and makes you feel luxurious is not something we take lightly, so here at Voir, we have searched high and low for a list of brands that are affordable but still make you feel like a million dollars.
Elf
Elf is really an amazing brand; their products are spoken about very highly in the beauty world and we can see why. Their minimal packaging reminds us of nars which is an amazing high-end make-up line. Their appeal doesn’t just stop with the packaging, their Hydrating Face primer looks and feels expensive, as it transforms your face into a flawless and smooth texture ready for you to apply your make-up.
The Elf Monochromatic Multi Stick is a multi-use stick that can be applied to your lips, eyes, and cheeks! This little wonder has a cream-to-powder texture and is lightweight in the formula so it is easily buildable depending on your preference. It produces a sun-kissed look and is undeniably gorgeous for any make-up look.
NYX
The NYX Professional Bare With Me Concealer Serum has been causing a storm online for how great the product is. This product provides 24-hour coverage and hydration and is 100% vegan. The product blends very nicely and provides perfect coverage.
The Concealer serum isn’t the only NYX product that makes you feel spoilt, the Shine Loud High Shine Lip Colour is a lovely lipstick that has both a lip gloss on one side and a lip colour on the other, so whether you’re wanting a matte finish or something glossier, your needs can be met. This lipstick is non-transferable and long-lasting, so you won’t have to worry about constantly fixing your lips when you are out.
L’Oréal
L’Oréal is a brand that really makes you feel pampered and cared for, their extensive skincare and makeup range means there is always something for someone and the high-class presentation of their products makes them feel expensive and lavish. For skincare enthusiasts, the L’Oréal Paris Revitalise Hyaluronic Acid is a perfect product for those looking for a serum that will hydrate your skin and promote skin growth. This serum also reduces the appearance of fine lines and improves the overall texture of your skin, making it a must-have product in any skincare routine.
Maybelline
We couldn’t mention Maybelline without taking a moment to talk about their amazing Sky-High Mascara that blew up online when it was released for giving the effect of false eyelashes. This mascara was truly amazing and looked stunning on the eyes. It had a similar appearance to the Too Faced Better than Sex mascara and is famous online for being a great product. This mascara is a perfect fit and one that really does feel high-end due to how effective it is at making your eyelashes look so good.
Milani
Milani Baked Blush
If you love blushes and enjoy a buildable but rich pigmented blush, then Milani’s Backed Blushes are perfect. These blushes give off a sheer shade of soft colour to your skin and have a silky application to them which makes them feel expensive and look incredible. These blushes look great on every skin tone and have an amazing glow about them. They give a dewy sun-kissed look that is to die for, so we just had to include them on our list.
Colour Pop
The ColourPop Super Shock Highlighters are a gorgeous set of shiny luminous highlighters that are weightless and buildable so perfect for people who like to have a blendable product. These highlighters are soft in texture and effortlessly blend into your make-up while providing you with an irresistible shine. They look and feel high-end as their pigmentation is of good quality, once you’ve tried them, you won’t ever put them down.
