Millie Court was hailed the stylish one from Love Island season 7, thanks to her fun outfits, viral Sagittarius necklace, and sell-out clothing edits with fashion giant ASOS (where Mills previously worked as a Fashion Buyers Administrator). Still, it's her affordable beauty recommendations that have us in a chokehold.

The 27-year-old just shared a make-up tutorial with her 1.9 million followers and it's packed full of her favourite high-street products 'under £12'. Millie waxed lyrical about her favourite drugstore brands including L'Oreal, NYX and Rimmel, proving you don't need to spend your entire paycheck on lipgloss. Now you're talking our language, babes.

One product to immediately get our attention is the Rimmel London Powder in shade Transcluenct, £3.50which Millie says is the 'best'.

The star revealed on Instagram stories how it was her go-to make-up hack in the Love Island villa and wrote, "Possibly one of the BEST powders you'll find for literally £3.50... I used this the WHOLE time through Love Island in all that heat and never had creased under the eyes, honestly, I forgot how much I loved this powder!!! I use shade transparent."

The Rimmel Stay Matte Powder promises to keep make-up in place, whilst blurring and mattifying the skin. At just £3.50 a pop, it's loved for giving a flawless finish that doesn't crease nor go cakey.

Another budget beauty buy to get Millie's seal of approval is a creamy lipliner which could easily pass as 'MAC'.

The star shared, "Now I've used a lot of drugstore lip liners, Barry M and Maybelline are by FAR the best. However, I feel like this Barry M one has almost exactly the same consistency, feel, and pigmentation as MAC and has always been a favourite of mine. I use shade Toast and it's literally only £3.50".

I can also vouch for the Barry M lipliners and always use the shade Russet, £2.33 a warmer, more orangey nude. In fact, I love it so much - after stealing my sister's during our annual holiday, I bought three as soon as we landed so I'd have one in every bag. It's that good.
