While we won't deny that our makeup bags and bathroom cabinets do boast the occasional premium product, the backbone of our routines is formed of hard-working under-£5 formulas that are too good and too affordable to keep secret.
It's a common misconception that quality automatically equals expensive. Yes, in terms of ingredients and tech, there are some formulas, like the best vitamin C serums or red light therapy devices, where you're paying for higher concentrations and innovations. But, in a lot of cases, from your go-to clear mascara or lip liner, they don't have to cost the earth to deliver great results. In fact, as far as our beauty team is concerned, they needn't cost more than £5.
