Forget expensive luxury creams - Molly-Mae Hague's makeup artist has revealed the secret to achieving that picture-perfect base doesn't require breaking the bank. Lizzie Tobias, the beauty expert behind the Love Island star's flawless complexion, has shared the surprisingly affordable moisturiser she swears by for celebrity clients.
The £8 Wonder Cream
In a recent TikTok video that's taken the beauty world by storm, Tobias demonstrated her pre-makeup routine using the Simple Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser. This high-street favourite costs just £8 from Boots, proving that premium results don't always come with a premium price tag.
Why This Moisturiser Works Magic
"This is genuinely one of the best moisturisers I've ever used," Tobias declared to her 37,000 followers. "It's so lightweight and doesn't leave any residue, which is perfect under makeup."
The makeup artist explained that heavy creams can create a slippery surface that causes foundation to slide off throughout the day. This budget-friendly alternative provides just the right amount of hydration without compromising makeup longevity.
Molly-Mae's Glowing Testimonial
While Tobias regularly works with high-profile clients including Molly-Mae, she emphasised that this product works wonders for all skin types. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly, creating the ideal canvas for foundation application.
Beauty enthusiasts have flooded social media with praise for the discovery, with many commenting that they've already seen improvements in their makeup application since switching to the Simple moisturiser.
Professional Tips for Perfect Base
- Apply moisturiser to clean, dry skin
- Allow 2-3 minutes for complete absorption before foundation
- Use gentle, upward motions during application
- Don't forget neck and décolletage
- Perfect for all skin types, including sensitive skin
This revelation comes as a breath of fresh air in an industry often dominated by expensive products. Tobias's endorsement proves that sometimes, the best beauty secrets are hiding in plain sight on the high street.
