The average woman will spend £22,000 on make-up over her lifetime, meaning treating yourself to that expensive lipstick or fancy highlighter can really add up. 

Avon has enlisted make-up artist, Dani Guinsberg to see if you can really tell the difference between a pricier brand and a more affordable option. 

She created a beauty look on one half of a model’s face using eight Mac products to the value of £159 and the other half with similar versions of Avon cosmetics costing £48.50.

Dani said: ‘I have always believed that people don’t need to spend a fortune on make-up to get great quality and on trend products and this campaign is proof. 

‘I can honestly say that the Avon products I used on the shoot are as good as MAC and even the model and photographer couldn’t tell which side was which.’ 

Before you decide to splash out, can you tell the face of expensive make-up from one that cost less than half the price?

One half of this face has been made up with expensive products and the other with budget Avon make-up, but can you tell which is which?
