Though she has access to the most expensive beauty products money can buy, Frankie Bridge has remained grounded when it comes to her beauty regime. Frankie, we salute you!
The singer and TV presenter is passionate about finding quality products that don’t break the bank. She told Glamour: “Beauty shouldn't be limited to those who can afford expensive products. There are so many amazing options out there that are affordable and work just as well."
What Frankie especially loves about cheaper products is that she feels free to experiment with them, trying out new trends and discovering “hidden gems in the aisle of a drugstore”. "I enjoy the process of discovery, and with affordable options, I can try out multiple products and find what works best for me," She told Cosmopolitan.
If you’re feeling inspired by Frankie’s approach to beauty, we’ve rounded up her top affordable products - and you can shop them all on Amazon with speedy delivery
The all-purpose everyday moisturiser
Olay Total Effects 7in1 Moisturiser
Frankie says:
A few years back, when she was asked by the Express about beauty products she swears by, Frankie said: “I use Olay Total Effects 7 in 1 Age Defying Moisturiser. I’m only 28, but I do think you have to think about ageing early.”
Frankie made a smart choice. Olay’s 7-in-one moisturiser is so called because it claims to provide seven effects - visibly smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, evening skin tone, enhancing brightness, minim¡sing pores, restoring firmness, hydrating and nourishing and providing skin protection from the sun. That’s a lot for your money!
The instant skin boost spray
Bionoble Organic Rose Water
Frankie says:
“When I’m not working, I don’t wear much make-up at all, to give my skin a break. I use a rose-water spray on my skin each day, though.”
Rose water, derived from rose petals, has been used for centuries in beauty and skincare routines. Apart from giving skin an instant refreshing boost, it has several benefits, including hydrating and soothing effects and pH balancing and antioxidant benefits. Bionoble’s Organic Rose Water is Amazon’s top-rated, with almost 1.7k positive ratings - and shoppers loving its “divine smell” and toning and refreshing effects on the skin.
The budget moisturiser she used for the BAFTAS
Embryolisse Concentrated 24 Hour Miracle Cream
As Frankie got ready for the 2023 BAFTAs, beauty fanatics noted a tube of Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré on her dressing table. The moisturiser by French pharmacy brand Embryolisse is so popular one tube is said to sell every 13 seconds. Enriched with essential fatty acids and vitamins, the clever formula is light in texture but super nourishing on any areas of dryness. Your skin will instantly feel plumped, soothed and hydrated. Plus, it also works to protect your complexion from environmental aggressors.
Her miracle thickening hair spray
Oribe Dry Texturising Spray
Frankie says:
“I have quite flat hair, so I add some Oribe Dry Texturising Spray to give it a little bit of a lift.”
This is probably the most expensive product on Frankie’s list, but if you can afford to splurge - a little goes a long way. Amazon shoppers with fine or flat hair love this texturising spray, which has over 2k glowing reviews. Several shoppers say the “can’t live without” this spray. Writes one: I sprayed on before curling my hair for a wedding and the curls held for over 6 hours, I couldn’t believe it.
Her Budget Everyday Shampoo and Conditioner
Pantene Pro-V Prepare & Protet Shampoo and Conditioner Set
Pantene was also on Frankie’s list of must-have products, and if it helps us get shiny glossy hair like hers, we’re adding to basket! It gently cleanses while giving hair active Pro-V nutrients to strengthen strands from the inside out and reverse signs of damage that can lead to lack of smoothness and shine.
Her go-to eyebrow setting gel and pencil
Eyebrowqueen Brow Fix and Bro Pro pencil
Frankie says:
Sharing her makeup routine on her Instagram stories, Frankie said: “You all know I love the EyebrowQueen Brow Fix. Put a little bit on the brush and then I start to brush it up into my brows.”
She’s well known for her perfect brows so we were there taking notes when Frankie showed herself using Eyebrowqueen’s products on her instagram stories. She starts off with the waterproof setting gel and finishes with the dual-ended pencil, which is available in seven different shades. Both products have great reviews, with Amazon shoppers loving how it made their eyebrows “look naturally thicker”.
