Your best cheap make up recommendations

I am in desperate need of new make up (everything except foundation and lipstick is running out). However I have very little money to spend. I need a blusher, eye shadow, mascara and eyeliner. I tend to go for neutral colours. I need long lasting but cheap.
So what would you suggest? Going shopping on Thursday.

Poundland for everything except mascara, which i would get rimmel extra super lash as my budget choice

Bourjois healthy mix foundation, concealer, powder, eyebrow pencil.

Maybelline lipstick, mascara (I've hardly ever had a duff one from Maybelline except oddly, I don't get on with Great Lash), eyeshadow palettes (all excellent value for colours and staying power).

Primark stuff is amazing

Beauty pie is the best cheap make up ime. I recently replenished my whole bag (primer, foundation, concealer, blush, translucent powder, mascara and, lip oil) for about 60 pounds and it’s all very good quality.

Also Superdrug 3 for 2 is fab if its on. The revolution items are very good for the money

Aldi or Lidl are well worth a look. My Aldi is a bit hit and miss in terms of what they have in stock. The products are good though.

I think Lidl are a bit more consistent about stick. I love their face cream and the lipsticks are great.

Revolution foundation stick is amazing! £4 and I find it better than Rihanna’s Fenty foundation and MAC studio fix fluid! I dunno if this is what you’re looking for but Morphe do some amazing eyeshadow palettes (36 shades to a palette, so really large!) for £20 and they’re well worth the investment. Much better value than £40 for a too faced/urban decay palette etc. Wet n Wild is now being sold on BeautyBay - about £2 for lipsticks etc (and they’re fab, stoplight red is a great colour!) I second Essence mascara from Wilko, their lip liners are really great too. Collection 2000 do a fab liquid concealer that has been popular for some years now; about £3 and I think they’ve just introduced further shades.
