8 Bargainous High Street Dupes For The Expensive Makeup Palettes You Want

Being obsessed with all things beauty can be a seriously expensive hobby.

How come everyone else is happy with a bargain bucket mascara and a swoop of pound shop powder when you won’t settle for anything less than a flawless full face worth about six million pounds? Sigh, life is so unfair.

Here's all the times that Kylie Jenner proved she's the ultimate queen of the selfie...

The heart wants what it wants, but sometimes makeup addicts do have to compromise a little on their choices in order to keep the bank balance a bit happier.

Why splash all of your cash on one high end, luxury palette when you could grab an identical, bargainous dupe instead - and be left with a few extra pounds to pick up even MORE makeup?
