To finish off the look, beauty fanatics can also pic up the Lacura Faultless Finish Setting Powders, priced at £4.99 for a 25g tub.
Available in Light, Medium and Deep, the subtly pigmented formula "helps to lock in makeup" while providing light coverage for a faultless matte finish.

Aldi bosses say it is formulated with Vitamin E to create a silky-smooth powder that blurs the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles without cracking while also keeping excess oil at bay.
And it works out as £29.01 cheaper than the Huda Beauty easy bake loose baking and setting powder which retails at £34 for a slightly smaller 20g tub.

Stephen Cadogan: Farmers cheer as von der Leyen's EU budget faces collapse
The rejection by close political allies of EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's budget plan for 2028-2034 leaves her on a slippery slope. Farmers would be happy to see her go after she turned her back on agriculture in her wartime EU budget plan for 2028-2034. Her own country, Germany, the EU's largest member state and biggest funding contributor, was one of the first to shoot down her commission's €2 trillion long-term budget proposal, which seems focused on tackling overseas competition and Russian aggression, but leaves the long-established Common Agriculture Policy in the lurch. The ruling German Christian Democrats, of which von der Leyen is a member, said the commission's budget proposal is a "no-go". And the EPP, of which von der Leyen is also a member, and the largest political group in the European Parliament, has also said it "cannot give the long-term budget a green light" after "key red lines set by the European Parliament have been ignored". The EPP gave its powerful backing instead to farmers, saying: "We will reject any budget that fails to ring-fence sufficient funding for both the Common Agricultural Policy and Cohesion Policy, or where our farmers must compete with our regions for EU funding. These are not bargaining chips. These are pillars of the European project. They must be protected, not traded away." All EU national capitals, as well as the European Parliament, must agree on the plan before it is approved; therefore, last week's proposal must go down as a failed dry run, and a very bad start to the two-year budget process for von der Leyen. She has alienated the Greens, who helped get her the commission presidency in 2019 by an 8% vote margin in the parliament, She has also alienated many of the pro-Europeans who re-elected her last November with a 17% majority. She survived a no-confidence vote in the parliament earlier in July, which exposed the increasing political opposition to her. Adjusted for inflation, von der Leyen's budget proposal represents a cut of at least 20% in real terms to the EU's agricultural spending, thus giving two fingers to the farmers who protested in such huge numbers in 2023 and 2024. More charitable and rational Brussels watchers describe her plan as a bold bid to re-think the EU project, for a more ambitious Europe capable of shaping global change. But they agree she may have gone too far. Fraught negotiations within the commission delayed the proposals, and made a communications disaster of the announcement of a central EU seven-year budget of up to €2 trillion, compared to €1.2 trillion between 2021 and 2027, but steering funding away from traditional areas such as agriculture and regional development, towards new priorities such as defence and innovation. Included are €100 billion exclusively for Ukraine's recovery and reconstruction, €131 billion to boost the defence and space sectors, and increased EU funds into transport infrastructure for military mobility. The parliament's second largest political group, Socialists and Democrats, shot down the plan as "not serving the interests of Europeans". Iratxe García Pérez, President of the S&D Group, said: Any idea to make access to EU funding conditional on austerity measures is a no-go for us. Next biggest in the parliament, and the main opposition, the conservative Patriots, are likely to take the opportunity to seek a new no-confidence vote in von der Leyen, which is also supported by The Left, with only 46 seats, for whom Irish MEP Luke Flanagan was the designated speaker reacting to the budget plan. Next biggest in the parliament are the ECR and Renew, both with about 80 seats. Renew said no to the budget plan's "disguised re-nationalisation of the EU budget" and "the end of the EU shared project". The ECR expressed reservations. The Greens/EFA, with 53 MEPs, went against the flow by saying the budget plan is not large enough for Europe's needs. Her plan was not universally rejected; it favours some eastern EU states, and Czechia cautiously welcomed it. Poland's government also welcomed it, predicting they will continue to be the biggest recipient of EU funds. But their Hungarian neighbours are sure to reject it. The plan will have to change beyond recognition for acceptance by the parliament and member states, so farming details such as a guaranteed payments focus on active farmers, an upper limit of €100,000, and phasing out CAP payments to old age pensioners, might disappear along the way.

Ireland's tourism industry urged to expand beyond US amid sharp drop in visitors
IRELAND'S tourism leaders are calling for a diversification of the country's tourism strategy following a significant drop in international visitor numbers this year. Figures released by Fáilte Ireland reveal an 18% decline in tourists arriving from all major overseas markets between January and April compared to the same period last year. The decline is most pronounced among visitors from key European markets. Revenue generated from British tourists dropped by 52%, while French and German tourist spending fell by 55% and 53%, respectively. The figures have raised alarm within the industry, with stakeholders stressing the need for a broader international outreach to reduce dependency on any single market. Eoghan O'Mara Walsh, chief executive of the Irish Tourism Industry Confederation (ITIC), emphasised the importance of recalibrating Ireland's tourism focus. 'We cannot afford to rely so heavily on North American visitors. A series of economic factors are impacting travel decisions, particularly from the US, and we need to be prepared for that,' he said in an interview with RTÉ Radio 1. Among the challenges cited is the weakening of the US dollar—down approximately 15% in recent months—and mounting concerns over tariffs and geopolitical uncertainty. These factors are making long-haul travel less appealing to US tourists, who have traditionally been Ireland's most valuable market. While Walsh insists the US market must still be defended and nurtured, he believes a strategic pivot is essential. 'We need to deepen ties with the American market, yes—but we also need to be more active in reaching out to Europe and beyond,' he said. However, Ireland's competitiveness as a tourist destination is also under scrutiny. According to Eurostat, Ireland ranks as the second-most expensive holiday spot in Europe, a factor that is likely to dissuade cost-conscious travellers amid tightening economic conditions in countries like Germany, France, and Britain. 'When families are budgeting for holidays, the second or third trip is often the first to be cut,' Walsh explained. 'Ireland, unfortunately, is increasingly being seen as one of those optional destinations that can be skipped.' Another barrier to growth, according to ITIC, is the current cap on passenger numbers at Dublin Airport. The existing limit of 32 million passengers per year is seen as a bottleneck for expansion, particularly as Ireland relies heavily on air travel to connect with overseas markets. 'We're an island—we don't have the luxury of land borders. If we want to grow tourism sustainably, we must expand access, starting with lifting the cap at Dublin Airport,' Walsh argued. He also highlighted the potential role of regional airports in easing the pressure on Dublin and stimulating tourism in less-visited parts of the country. 'There's an opportunity to do more with regional airports. Government could offer better support so those hubs can attract more airlines and open new routes.' As Ireland looks to rebound from the tourism downturn, industry leaders stress that a coordinated and proactive approach is critical. From increasing airport capacity to marketing more broadly across Europe and emerging markets, the message is clear: the status quo is no longer sustainable. 'If we want to remain competitive and protect the 257,900 jobs tied to tourism in Ireland, we must adapt to the new global travel reality,' Walsh concluded.
