Boots launches affordable new EDIT make-up range with prices from just £6 – here's everything you can buy

Boots has welcomed some seriously big names to its beauty offering this year - from luxury favourites Charlotte Tilbury and Jo Malone London to skincare heavyweights Sunday Riley and Kate Somerville, not forgetting viral TikTok sensation P.Louise.

But while all those big-name beauty brands have been tempting us to part with our hard-earned cash, Boots has come up with something that might be a little kinder to our bank balances.

Meet EDIT by Boots, the retailer's new own-brand cosmetics collection. And judging by the sleek packaging, nobody would ever guess some of these products cost less than a tenner.

Prices, in fact, start at just £6 and there’s a free gift when you spend £20 on selected cosmetics - and everything in the Edit collection is included! Shoppers can also get free next-day delivery when spending £30 on selected skincare, haircare and make-up, using the code NEXTDAY at checkout.

So, if your make-up bag could do with a refresh, this might be the perfect excuse to treat yourself without spending a fortune.

What is EDIT by Boots?

EDIT is a collection of everyday make-up essentials covering everything from creating a flawless base to adding colour and definition to the cheeks, eyes and lips.

The focus is on wearable shades, easy-to-use textures and skincare-inspired formulas, reflecting the growing popularity of beauty products that combine make-up with skin-friendly ingredients.

And while the packaging certainly looks the part, it's the affordable price tags that could prove the biggest attraction.

Is EDIT by Boots worth buying?

With prices starting at just £6, EDIT offers an affordable way to experiment with some of the latest make-up trends without investing in premium-priced products.

Selected products are also included in a three-for-two promotion, making it even more tempting to try a few different items.

I tried the Radiance Primer, £12, and the Nourishing Gloss, £8, in Peach, and was impressed with the packaging and the results. I particularly like the rosy pink colour of the gloss and its non-sticky feel. I also put the Lash Lengthening Mascara through its paces, and what a lovely surprise that turned out to be! It's almost half the price of my usual mascara but performs every bit as well. This one's definitely going on my buy-again list.

And if you really fancy splashing out, you could treat yourself to all 17 products in the collection for less than £170. That's a complete make-up bag makeover, from primers and skin tint to mascaras, blushers and lip glosses.
