Jumbo beauty is now big business. “We’ve seen growth in demand for supersized versions of cult favourites,” explains Alexia Inge, co-founder of Cult Beauty. She says, “it’s more economical, uses less packaging and less regular shipping so it’s more ecologically-conscious and allows consumers to ride out any Brexit supply chain disruption with their must-have beauty products intact.”

With this in mind, we round up the best supersized beauty buys to add to your basket. From cult classics to newer, niche discoveries, these should easily see you through the new season.
