Primark Make up?

44 replies

youvegottobekidding · 10/04/2017 11:54

I've heard a lot about Primark make up - especially their foundation, it's supposed to be quite good? Anyone tried it? If so what's your thoughts? Any recommendations on what to buy & what not to?!

I've got their mattifying face powder, and face bronzer compressed powder thing, both 2 quid each and excellent quality. Give a great finish.

I might try lip crayons next, any one recommend a colour? I am on the search for a great nude one.

The ps skincare is really good too. Ive tried the primer and blemish balm and just as good as more expensice brands. I havent tried the face creams but heard they are good

Love the lip liners. But can someone please please tell me where I can buy a sharpener for the crayons as they ate so thick.

Almost no makeup in my Primark today - gutting. Am after a full coverage foundation and wanted to give theirs a try

Stunts, the one I got is called Mushroom and is a great nude pink shade. I've been wearing it loads for weeks now - spent years trying to get exactly that shade.

Powergower they sell a sharpener in Primark for a couple of quid.

Fish fingers just subscribe to your videos, very interesting
You have the same eye issue as me so it was lovely to see the eye colours and your top was stunning , where did you get it if you don't mind me asking?

Fishfingersandwich9 · 19/04/2017 18:14

CoolCarrie it was from Ted Baker and is actually a dress but afraid it's a couple of years old now so not sure it's still available!

IDoAllMyOwnStunts · 19/04/2017 20:40

Thank you lurking I will try that one. I've spent so much money on wasted pink nude type shades, can't wait to get to a primark to give it a go.

And.....drumroll....For the first time ever today I got complimented on my make up!🎉

I had to reveal it was primarni's finest of course. I'm definitely a total convert now 😀

Friends didn't say anything about it hiding my wrinkles and turkey neck though 😵😜

I've got two lip crayon thingys-they are amazing!

ChishandFips33 · 19/04/2017 21:21

I need to go to Primark now! I've not been in one for years

I have a list...great video Fish Thanks for sharing

Nigel what colour crayons did you go for?

nigelforgotthepassword · 20/04/2017 07:05

A sort of nude one, and one that looked a really dark purpley red, but actually comes out much lighter when on and looks great.I'll look out the names when I'm near my make up bag...

Fishfingersandwich9 - what a great Primark video! It's so much more than just a Primark review, it is a really great make up guide. Really, really recommend it for anyone wanting a first class make up lesson from scratch. Thanks.

MathsFiend · 21/04/2017 20:33

Grrrr.... went into Primark after reading this thread and selected a whole load of things..... just as I was about to pay, the fire alarm went off! So no new makeup for me to try sob!

BusterGonad · 21/04/2017 21:56

I think when I'm back in the uk I need to hit Primark. I love my makeup but don't like to spend loads on voting thinks like lip liners and mascara!

BusterGonad · 21/04/2017 22:00

Boring not voting!

MyOtherDogIsAPorsche · 22/04/2017 12:40

Where are you Buster? Another non UKer here (in France).

BusterGonad · 22/04/2017 15:06

Qatar. Going home in June. Makeup is so expensive here. A L'Oréal lippy is £12!

MathsFiend · 22/04/2017 19:54

Bought lots of things today, a lot on the strength of Fishfingersandwich9's recommendations. Bought a smokey eye pallet for only a fiver.

lurkingfromhome · 22/04/2017 22:22

I bought the matt liquid lipstick in shade Kendal yesterday on Fishfinger's recommendation - absolutely love it so thanks for the tip!
