Open up your beauty cupboard and you'll more than likely see a cute little crowd of star beauty brands - Go-To, La Roche-Posay, SkinCeuticals, Charlotte Tilbury, CeraVe and the likes. And they're there for good reason - they make bloody good products.

However.If you're willing to take a wee peek beneath the buzzy stuff everyone already knows about and loves, chances are you'll find a slew of lesser-known beauty brands that are just as good.

The best part? Many of them are Aussie-made, too.

From makeup brands to innovative skincare, I've rounded up six under-the-radar beauty brands you need to get your hands on this year. Because they're about to be huge. Just sayin'.

AHC.

Korea's number one brand AHC officially dropped in Priceline late last year - which is massive news. One of their famed products is called Eye Cream for Face (it's out of stock right now, naturally) - and in case you haven't heard of it, it sells every three seconds in Korea. Crazy! So, YES we're excited.

The stuff is good. Really good. And now that it's made its way over to Priceline, I'm predicting it's only going to get even bigger.

There are four different ranges - Hyaluronic Dewy Radiance Range, Youth Focus Range, 365 Red Range and Age Defense Real Eye Cream For Face - and they can each be used to target different skin concerns.

The best part? It's all pretty affordable, with prices starting at $25 for the AHC Luminous Glow Real Eye Cream for Face.

Holme Beauty.

Okay, but have we tried Holme Beauty yet? No? You must. This stuff is wildly good.

The brand dropped in 2021, but you'd think it's been around for way longer - because the products are quickly becoming a staple in pretty much every beauty editor's makeup kit.

My absolute favourite pick is the Holme Beauty Primer. It's pure MAGIC. I love to wear it instead of foundation, and it immediately makes my face look luminous, healthy and more alive, while still feeling gloriously lightweight on the skin.

I'm also partial to the Holme Beauty Setting Spray and its impressive ability to make me look like an *actual* glow worm, along with the more recent launch, the new Holme Beauty Lip Glosses. They come in two different colours - Divine and Drip - and leave your lips plump and shiny with a subtle dash of colour.
