Top Makeup brands in UK??

Question

i live in the UK. iv been watching some MAC makeup tutorials which are really good but when i try them, it comes out rubbish. i guess its cos the eyeshadows and blushers im using are non branded (LOL forgive me!)

so what companies are available in boots/superdrug that are as high qulity as MAC/ Sephora/ nars/ NYX (all the good one in usa)?? and have a good variety of prducts? is "Benefit" good?

thank you!

Answer 1

Hey chick it might not be because there not branded because sometimes cheaper is better, i went to superdrug yesterday and its 3 for 2 on all rimmel products and also on maybelline products which are my top two as you probably see them always on tv adverts. I also like collection 2000, Benefit, Barry M, Miss sporty i could go on but they have loads of good offers at superdrug. Hope i helped you chick good luck x

Answer 2

mac is available in the uk and is one of the only make up brands i will use.

benefit is ok for somethings and not for others, all personal preference.

Answer 3

Okay go to a big department store like Debenhams or John Lewis and they have like a whole floor for makeup, or Selfridges also. And they can do your makeup for free if you ask, so you can find the right colour and type for you.

They have most make up brands including all the really good ones.

Try MAC, YSL, Chanel and anyother big name brands.

Benefit is good but remember to try in store before hand to see if it works for you.

Answer 4

Yep, Benefit is amazing! especially their blushers/facepowders..dandelion and dallas are my favourite! Also try Maxfactor! And chanel foundation. Estee Lauder also has very good make-up. Bobbi brown is also very good, not sure if you can buy it in boots, but defnatly in John Lewis!

Answer 6

I think you get what you pay for to a certain extent - you said it yourself!  I use Mac, Chanel and the odd Lancome product.  Mac is definitely the best value for money, and there's so much choice too.  If you go to one of their counters in Selfridges/Harvey Nicks etc then they'll do a makeover for you, and just ask for tips.  But then take a note of all the products that you like and buy them VAT free at the airport...!  They also have special packs at the airport that you can't get in shops which usually make it even cheaper.  Oh yeah, the other thing is to invest in some decent brushes, it really does make the difference.  Again Mac do a couple of different brush sets at the airport for around £30 - which may seem a lot, but considering you can pay £30 for a half decent foundation brush then it really is a good deal!

No7.....
