Elsa McAlonan BEST BEAUTY BARGAINS UNDER £10 • It’s fashionable to have a lipstick wardrobe with different shades and formulas. Autumn’s favourite hues are berry, plum and terracotta tones with textures that include velvety mattes, dazzling glosses and soft stains to suit all ages. Of course, no lip colour is going to look its best if lips are dry and flaking - it needs to glide on smoothly and stay put when it’s on.

These will make lips look fuller and they are all under £10.
