10 of the best: pretty penny savers

If there’s one bit of advice from my mum that I’ll never forget, it’s that you don’t have to spend a fortune to look like a million dollars. Of course splurging with big name brands is always fun, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get the best results.

With everyone pulling the purse strings a little bit tighter this year, it makes sense to get up close and personal with a few pretty penny-saving products that will make you feel beautiful, without breaking the bank…

Love the bright-eyed look but can’t afford a daily cappuccino, let alone a YSL Touché Eclat? No worries, this Lumi Touch Concealer from Maybelline New York is a multi-tasking marvel that works to conceal and correct blemishes and dark shadows, and complement your natural skin tone. Fantastic for awakening tired skin, the lightweight formula also allows your skin to breath and look positively flawless.

My skin is quite yellow, so anything with lavender/pink/blue pigments is great. Not concealing though, just enhancing

For those days when I don't feel like wearing makeup, this is the product I use on my under eye dark circles as I feel it is the most ageing part of my face. It gives an instant lift, maybe a bit of lippy and I'm done. I have tried many concealers including Erase Paste but find myself reaching for Dream Lumi the most.

Looks nice.

This is another product that I really want to try. I suffer from terrible creasing under my eyes when I use concealer though.

It makes me look healthier and less tired.

I've been using brightening primers mixed into my foundation to liven up my face. It really does wonders and gives my skin a nice healthy glow.

Would love to try this product. I need to use a concealer as I get dark circles under my eyes. I also find it sort of opens up my eye area as well. I also have some sunspots that I like to conceal.

Brigten my eye area after a bad nights sleep so I dont look so tired, and hide a few blemishes and dark spots so my skin looks a bit more even.

Fortunately I don't have dark circles to conceal (YET) but would like to give this a go on blemishes.

My under eye bags/circles. I hardly get enough sleep and when I conceal them, I'm a whole different looking person. Amazing what a bit of sleep can do.

Most under eye concealers just look really crepey on my skin, don't suit at all, have yet to find one that looks natural :/

I mainly like to brighten my eye area as I get dark circles, but I also have age spots that need attention as well. Didnt know that this one even existed. Thanks BH, I will be giving this a go.
