Following the launch of Aldi’s new luxe Lacura Make-up range, we asked make-up artist Mahina Quadri to test out the products and see what the professional makes of the supermarket items
If there’s one thing Aldi has become known for in recent years, it’s their impressive dupes of expensive branded products. Following the success of their familiar looking beers and caterpillar chocolate cakes, the budget chain has now set its eyes on the make-up industry with its new Lacura range.
The £2.99 Perfectly Nude lipstick has been a big talking point on TikTok, with social media users claiming it’s an ‘excellent’ dupe for Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk – which costs £26. While the Cashmere Glow Luminous Foundation (£5.99) has been likened to Armani’s £45 Luminous Silk Foundation.
Aldi’s new range also features the Girl Gone Bad Mascara, an eyeshadow quad, eyeshadow primer, a lip liner, concealer and a lip gloss.
Curious to see whether the products are worth the hype they’ve been getting online, we asked a professional make-up artist to put them to the test and the results were pretty surprising.
