Because, of course.

According to Tilbury, Aldi's "Broadway Shape and Glow," which retailed for £6.99, looked just like the iconic "Filmstar Bronze & Glow" product, which retails for a much higher £49. Here are the best Aldi beauty products we have found. I was walking through the supermarket Narnia that is ALDI — past my favourite $5 wine, beloved imitation ice-creams, and budget biscuits — when a little nook of make-up caught my eye. I would definitely buy this in future. The bronzer, in particular, didn't hold a candle to the beloved Benefit variety it was clearly trying to emulate.

My cousin Carolyn flip flopped for a good hour, before deciding she was too torn to pick a side at all. Having a perpetually oily t-zone, I was feeling optimistic it would keep shine at bay. Spenny vs penny: how does Aldi’s £2 concealer compare to Yves Saint Laurent’s touche eclat? The foundation gets a DNF for refusing to acknowledge anyone who dares to be born darker than Casper the Friendly Ghost. My mum, aunty, brother, and elder sister all swore the left side of my face looked “better” than the right. I’d brought along my trusty Vichy Dermablend Make-up Transluscent Setting Powder, £18, in case of any meltdowns and spent 10 minutes in the loo furiously dabbing away the excess oil – which is where the concealer comes in.

And by “very wrong” I mean that there was no actual product inside — just an empty cavity to store all of my disappointment in the foundation’s limited shade range. Next, I used a fluffy brush to lightly contour using the Broadway Shape & Glow palette, £5.99, which was also disappointing – its colour payoff was minimal and barely made a difference to my face. There, nestled among the sanitary pads and panty liners, was a modest collection of Lacura cosmetics. As a huge fan of NARS’ Orgasm blush, £24, I was wary of getting the same results from Aldi’s Lacura Blush, which left a trail of shimmer all over my face that quickly faded. It was impossible to touch up blemishes, which was so creamy it promptly slid off of my face.

After filling in my brows as normal using my Sleek MakeUp Brow Kit, £8.49, in dark, I attempted to create an orange-toned smokey eye using the Lacura Naturals Intense Eyshadow Palette, £5.99.

Hooray! A minor speed bump, but one that didn’t have anything on the eyebrow pencil; as soon as I got that bad boy out of its packaging, something was clearly very wrong.

The highlighter left a subtle shimmer on the top of my cheekbones but wasn’t the radiant look I was hoping for. But given the huge price difference, I’ve got to say I was pleasantly surprised by how not-terrible the Lacura products were.

I mean, who needs eyeshadow? Is it worth the £5.99 price tag? As per The Mirror, via Hello!, after Aldi's packaging was confirmed to feature the same starburst and diamond shapes as Tilbury's, the German grocery giant lost the case. The difference was there, but it was marginal. All rights reserved. Somehow I don’t think it’s a coincidence that I’m now sporting a colony of pimples on my left cheek and on the left-hand side of my chin.

WHAT A BEAUTY Aldi’s new makeup range dupes iconic beauty products by Nars, Charlotte Tilbury and Benefit – but everything is under £7. All our choices are completely independent but we may earn a small commission if you click a link and make a purchase. I’d recommend the Maybelline Eye Eraser Concealer, £8.99, which has some serious staying power and hides all traces of dark circles and fine lines. Promising a “natural sun-kissed complexion”, it did nothing of the sort, instead lacking in staying power and eventually turning patchy.

The $4.99 foundation was first, and smelled like a mixture of Clag Glue and sunscreen. It’s certainly crossed mine, most recently when I saw the supermarket’s new range of low-cost Special Buy colour cosmetics that bear an uncanny resemblance to some of makeup’s most sought-after products. I unboxed my Lacura goodies and got to work on my less-than-ideal canvas.

Close inspection of the lookalikes makes one thing abundantly clear - the … Aldi's own-brand makeup is ideally supposed to target consumers who want to paint their faces without the hefty price tag.

Yesterday, ALDI released a new range of Lacura makeup products as part of their bi-weekly Special Buys. The prices were low. selected Product Description Product Description Product Description. Special props went to the ALDI mascara, which was so lengthening they insisted it must be from a high-end brand.

It has been formulated to hide imperfections, even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Aldi has launched one bronzer and one palette with accompanying highlighter. My little brother’s girlfriend agreed — the makeup on that side of my face apparently looked marginally warmer and, in her opinion, cheaper. Aldi's own-brand makeup is ideally supposed to target consumers who want to paint their faces without the hefty price tag. Blendable? Refinery 29 compared the Aldi knockoffs to their more expensive counterparts and noted how "scarily identical" the packaging is, even if the actual products aren't quite as high quality. A no-nonsense make-up collection that has precisely zero chance of looking luxe thanks to ALDI’s hospital-inspired lighting. When it comes to Aldi’s wide selection of beauty ‘dupes’, it’s a thought that’s probably crossed the majority of shoppers’ minds.

This is the kind of sacrifice I make for complete strangers on the internet, apparently. It lengthened my lashes, added volume and was easy to remove at the end of the day. If I’m being honest, my expectations were quite low and I was pleasantly surprised – at first. However, by lunchtime I had never been so oily. I swept the shade Ivory all over lids before blending Cerise, a burnt copper colour, on the outer corners before patting on Rose Quartz, a shimmery copper shade, all over my eyelids for a touch of sparkle. Does the budget version measure up to its luxury counterparts? “You just look more normal on the right side,” he shrugged. There’s hundreds of high street makeup products that rival and sometimes outperform the luxury end of the market and I’m a firm believer that spending more doesn’t always get you more bang for your buck. Next up was the $5.99 transparent compact powder to set the foundation in place, which honestly outshone most of the exxy powders I’ve used recently. news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site.
