I'm a make-up artist and there’s a budget brand I love – loads of bits cost a fiver and it has Charlotte Tilbury dupes | The Sun

A MAKE-UP artist has weighed in on his favourite high-street make-up brand and people are rushing to snap up the products.

Alessandro is a beauty lover who values “honesty over hype”.


In a recent TikTok video, he revealed his favourite budget brand is E.l.f – and a number of the products he recommended from the brand will only set you back a fiver. 

“Starting off with the Power Grip Primer,” he said. “This is one of the few primers that actually keeps my make-up on through this Miami heat.”

Alessandro used E.l.f’s Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinamide which has a “sticky texture” to grip your base products and keep them on your face all day. 

It comes in two sizes, with the mini version being just £5 and the 24ml version being £10.

“I personally liked the fact that it is tacky because my make-up grips onto it and doesn’t move,” he added.

The MUA also hailed E.l.f’s Halo Glow Liquid Filter for £14 – which is a dupe for Charlotte Tilbury’s £39 Hollywood Flawless Filter.

“You need to try the liquid filter as a concealer,” he recommended. “It looks so skin-like and doesn’t crease.”

Alessandro also hailed the budget brand’s Halo Glow beauty wands – which come at £9 for blushing and contouring.

“These are so easy to blend and just leave you looking snatched,” he said. 

The MUA’s favourite E.l.f product is the High Definition powder, which will set you back a cool £6.50. 

“This is literally the most blurring powder I own,” he praised.

To keep your make-up in place all day, Alessandro recommended the beauty brand’s setting mists which cost £6 for a small bottle and £9 for a bigger one. 

“Lastly, you need to try their lip tint in the shade Peaches Up,” he concluded. “It’s literally the most perfect nude for the summer.”

The glossy lip product costs just £5 and comes in eight shades. 

Alessandro’s video has totted up almost one million views. 

“The Halo Glow as a concealer is like, chef’s kiss,” one viewer agreed.
