BEAUTY fans are raving about a fan favourite middle aisle find that has finally returned to shelves in Aldi.

Shoppers are going wild for the cult classic Lacura Illuminate Setting Spray, which is now just £2.99 in Aldi stores.

Yasmin Jane managed to get her hands on the affordable find and took to social media to share it with others.

Posting on Aldi UK Shoppers, a private Facebook group with 333,300 members, Yasmin shared a snap of her new beauty buy and wrote: “What is this a dupe for and is it any good?”

Social media users quickly flocked to the comments, sharing their rave reviews of the Specialbuy, with many hailing it as the ‘best spray’ and the ‘best primer ever’. 

Beauty enthusiasts confirmed that the Lacura Illuminate Setting Spray is in fact a dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray, a viral product with 182.5M views on TikTok.

Clearly pleased with her cheap purchase, Yasmin later wrote: “[It] helps the make-up stay in place and last longer.” 

So if you want to get your hands on a multi-use spray that can be used before your foundation as a primer, or after as a setting spray, you’ll need to get down to your nearest Aldi – and quickly.

Whilst the iconic Charlotte Tilbury Setting Spray retails at a jaw-dropping £32, if you’re looking for something a bit more purse-friendly, the middle aisle find from Aldi is now just £2.99 – yes, you heard that correctly.

So not only will your make-up stay looking flawless all day long, but you’ll also pocket yourself an extra £29.01 too. 

Whilst the Charlotte Tilbury buy boasts a featherweight, hydrating and delicately floral scented formula, which works to prime the skin and also keep your make-up in place, this Lacura buy promises to ‘lock your make-up in place for a long-lasting airbrushed finish’.

And like the Charlotte Tilbury spray, this Aldi buy is a multitasking formula that has a lightweight, hydrating feel and a stunning floral scent. 

Not only does it provide similar results, but the resemblance of the two products is uncanny.

The Lacura buy comes equipped in a burgundy box with rose gold writing and sparkles and features a frosted finish and rose gold cap, just like Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray.

Beauty fans beam

Beauty fans were left beaming over the affordable find, with many claiming they ‘love’ the stuff. 

One person said: “I have this and love it!”

Another added: “I love it and it smells really nice too.” 

A third commented: “It’s amazing! Best spray!!!” 

Not only this, but one beauty enthusiast shared: “Fantastic!!! It’s gone down to £2.99 so I’ve stocked up. 

“Seems to be something that has been missed by the TikTok influencers because it’s still around in the aisles. Best primer I’ve ever used.” 

At the same time, one Aldi shopper penned: “It’s a dupe for Charlotte Tilbury Flawless setting spray. I’ve used many setting sprays and this is up there as one of my favourites.

“I did my make-up with this as my setting spray one day. Another occasion I used the exact same make-up and used my Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray which has been my holy grail for years!

“Nothing keeps my make up in place fully. As I have oily skin. The Lacura one performed on a par with the Urban Decay.”
