Affordable skincare and makeup has become a must due to the unavoidable cost of living crisis. While we (myself included) have come to think of our beauty products as everyday essentials, the reality is that a lot of us are going to have to swap out a few of our splurges and look for beauty savings where possible.
Luckily, the number of beauty brands available to fill that space has increased tenfold in the past few years, and Revolution Beauty has become one of the most reliable for shopping on a budget.
What is Revolution Beauty?
Revolution Beauty has excelled in pretty much every area of beauty, spanning everything from skincare and makeup to bodycare and home fragrance (affordable candles? Yes please).
Its range includes viral TikTok products, TV-show collaborations and budget dupes, all sitting at an affordable price point and promising effective results.
The best part about Revolution is its accessibility; not only does its price point make it an affordable choice, there’s also a product that works for every skin tone and type, whether you’re looking for a new foundation or AHA exfoliator.
With a range as large as Revolution’s, it’s expected that not every product is going to be a complete hit. To save you from any misses, I’ve rounded up 6 of the best products from across Revolution Beauty, so you can shop with confidence and save a few ££ on the way.
Revolution Eye Bright Concealer
This concealer went viral on TikTok after people discovered it was an incredible dupe for Charlotte Tilbury’s liquid contour, but that doesn’t mean its concealing abilities should be overlooked. Its lightweight formula immediately brightens, hydrates and helps to cover dark circles, but it also works to improve the appearance of them over time thanks to its use of Vitamin C.
Revolution Ultra Cream Bronzer
A healthy bronzed glow is having a moment, but we’re no longer willing to bake ourselves in the sun (SPF up people!) to get there. Enter: Revolution’s Ultra Cream Bronzers. This range of neutral-toned contour and warm bronze shades are super buttery and easily blendable, allowing you to create dimension on the skin without disturbing your base.
Revolution Skincare 10% Niacinamide + 1% Zinc Blemish & Pore Refining Serum
One of the (many) great things about Revolution’s skincare range is its packaging, which makes it clear what the main ingredients are, the percentage that they’re formulated with, and which skincare concerns they will work best for.
This serum is holy grail for those with oilier skin types who struggle with breakouts as it helps to clear out pores, making them appear smaller and preventing breakouts from rearing their heads. Did I mention it has over 600 five star reviews on Revolution’s website…
Revolution Skincare Pink Clay Detoxifying Face Mask
Even if you don’t have oily skin, a clay mask is a must-have in your skincare regime for those days where you’re feeling congested. This bentonite and kaolin clay mask works in tandem with seaweed extract and witch hazel to pull out impurities from the pores while soothing any existing inflammation and redness.
Revolution Conceal & Hydrate Foundation
Foundation shades from high street brands used to be notoriously limited; something that Revolution helped to change with its 50-strong shade portfolio in its Conceal & Hydrate range. This formula is perfect if you’re looking for light-medium coverage with a dewy, luminous finish. No setting powder needed either, as this hyaluronic acid-infused formula does. Not. Crease.
Revolution Haircare Plex 3 Bond Restore Treatment
A littler on the pricier end of Revolution’s products but still an absolute bargain in terms of the results it delivers, this restoring hair treatment is formulated with a triple weight molecular protein system. This delivers nutrition to different parts of the hair strand, restoring shine and improving the condition with every use.
