If you’re on TikTok or Instagram, it’s very likely MCoBeauty has appeared on your feed. 

Whether it’s an influencer comparing the brand’s £12 Miracle Setting Spray to a £32 designer version, or a makeup artist raving about its budget-friendly bronzing drops, the Aussie brand has become a bit of a viral sensation – and now, UK shoppers can finally get their hands on it as it’s just launched into Superdrug!

There’s no denying that we all love a bargain and MCoBeauty has become known for its affordable ‘budget buys’ of some of the biggest names in beauty (*Ahem* Charlotte Tilbury, Glossier and Rhode). 

And, with prices between £6 – £15, it’s no wonder beauty lovers are excited about the launch. 

Some might be sceptical of cheaper alternatives, but MCoBeauty products are winning fans over and have countless five-star reviews. 

Our Senior Commerce Writer, Lydia Wheatley, put a few of the products to the test.

Our review:

There’s no denying these products hold some similarities in looks to some big name brands, but the similarities don’t stop at the packaging.

These products blew me away – and truly, I wasn’t expecting them to perform as well as they did. I tested a handful of products and used my standard, everyday makeup products to fill in the gaps.

I started with the Flawless Glow Luminous Skin Filter, which blended out easily to give me an all-over glowy base which wasn’t too tin man-esque.

For the price, these products are total winners. I specifically recommend the Flawless Glow Luminous Skin Filter, Miracle Flawless Setting Spray and Cheek & Lip Tint (Picture: Lydia Wheatley)

I don’t usually wear these type of glow-enhancing products, but this MCobeauty one left my skin looking so glowy, which I think was enhanced by the Miracle Flawless Setting Spray.

This setting spray has earned itself an instant top spot in my makeup routine, leaving the most stunning luminous base while melting my products into my skin. Truly, my base was absolutely flawless.

Another standout for me was the Cheek & Lip Tint in Rose Glow – a liquid blush that left my cheeks glossy and pink, pairing perfectly with the Glow Up Ph Powder Blush in Blush Red. My photo says it all – the blush is stunning.

The Brow Laminate Sculpt & Set was easy to use and left my brows defined all day long, while the Xtendlash Mascara delivered all the length I could need – though volume was somewhat left to be desired.

Finally, the Perfect Pout Lip Liner and Creme Matte Luxe Lipstick, both in shade Cheeky Chat, aren’t my usual lip shades but applied so creamily and easily that I can’t even be mad. Both simply beautiful.

For the price, these products are total winners for me, and, specifically, I can’t recommend the Flawless Glow Luminous Skin Filter, Miracle Flawless Setting Spray and Cheek & Lip Tint in Rose Glow enough.
