The entire look, created with 23 products, costs $184, proving that you don't have to spend a lot of money.

Australian makeup artist ashlee day has taken the internet by storm after creating a full face of makeup using just Kmart’s affordable Oxx Beauty range – and she’s raving about the results.

She purchased 23 makeup and skincare products, including a 22-piece brush set, for $184.15, proving that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to buy high-quality beauty products.

“I think the prices are amazing, it’s affordable,” he said.

The highlight of the collection was the Blur Concealer Wand ($6), which she believed was a “dupe” of Maybelline’s $23 Instant Age Rewind Concealer.

“I’m obsessed with this concealer, it looks so good,” she said, seeming surprised by the affordable formula.

“It’s light and buildable.”

Another crowd pleaser was Oxx Beauty’s Dewy Skin Serum ($6), which Ashlee described as giving her skin a “nice plumpness and dewiness.”

“If this is any good, we’ve hit the jackpot,” he said, adding, “It immediately got under my skin.” It looks like a normal primer, I like it.

Kmart's $8 foundation has drawn comparisons to cult products like Milk's Hydro Grip Foundation ($66).

Australian makeup artist Ashlee Day has taken the internet by storm after creating a full face of makeup using Kmart’s affordable Oxx Beauty range. The entire look, created with 23 products, including a 22-piece brush set, cost just $184, proving that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get high-quality makeup.

Kmart’s $8 foundation has also drawn comparisons to cult products like Milk’s Hydro Grip Primer ($66) and Elf’s Power Grip Primer ($24).

“It has the same consistency as Elf – one of my favorite primers in the world,” Ashlee said. “It’s very vulgar, but I don’t like the smell.”

Ashlee then used Oxx Beauty’s Illuminous Skin Tints, which retail for just $12.

‘I like how it blends and I like the brushes. “It’s given my skin a really nice glow, but it does improve my fine lines and pores a little,” she admitted.

However, the Blur Concealer Wand ($6) was a big hit.

She also praised the $8 Contour Wand, comparing it to Charlotte Tilbury’s iconic version, but with more product.

For beauty lovers on a budget, Kmart’s Oxx Beauty line could be the ultimate game-changer.

‘I love the color and it looks stunning. “It is very pigmented,” he added.

Kmart’s 22-piece brush set ($30), which includes a handy brush bag, also left an impression.

“Some hairs fell out with application, but they are very soft,” Ashlee noted.

She even compared the $4 beauty blender to higher-end versions, calling it “perfect” and “very smooth.”

The Illuminate and Bake Powder was another favorite — “I’m obsessed with pink powder,” Ashlee revealed — while the bronzer ($6) also impressed her.

‘It’s a big yes. But it’s pigmented, so use a light hand,” she advised.

Their review proves that Kmart’s budget beauty range offers quality results for a fraction of the cost of high-end brands.

The $10 highlighter palette was a big surprise.

‘It’s blinding. I wasn’t expecting that today. “It’s absolutely stunning,” Ashlee said. “It has shaken me to my core. I don’t need to buy expensive makeup when this works just as well.”

For her eyes, Ashlee used the Oxx Beauty Total Matte Eyeshadow Palette ($10) and praised its versatility: “It has warm and cool colors, there’s so many things you can do with it.” It is unreal and not irregular. You just need one hit,’ he said.

She also highlighted Oxx Beauty’s blushes, calling them “stunning.”
