Primark Foundation

I'm on a tight budget at the moment so looking to spend less on beauty. Are Primark foundations or their make up/beauty products in general any good ?

they are pretty good for the price, i prefer some of them over higher end products
their dupe of double wear is great for about a fiver and my fav is their primers

I used to swear by Rimmel foundation but I found it never lasted past 12! I picked up Primark foundation on a whim (I was excited by the £2.50 price tag) and I loved it!

During lockdown, I stopped wearing foundation and haven't worn it since but from what I can remember pre-lockdown, it was fantastic! Great coverage, not too heavy or too thin either. :)

Thanks - I will pick some up next week. The price excites me as well Smile

I have the 'glow' one and it's pretty good. Excellent for the price. Very limited shades though.

@Hello1290 Let me know how you find it! :) I tried their mascara and wasn't keen - it definitely gave me the 'panda look' lol.

I can also recommend the eye shadow from Revolution (Superdrug). I bought a palette that cost about £5 but has approximately 24 different shades.

I got married last year and my friend did my make up but used my own make up products as I refused to pay somebody to do it and have me caked in make up! :)

Snack - I will and thanks for mentioning Revolution from Superdrug. I saw positive reviews in the past for Revolution but had completely forgotten.

The £2.50 one in the squeezy tube, is literally my favourite foundation ever and believe me I have tried a lot of foundations of varying prices!

Yes I agree . I love the tube foundation (Primark). I mixed in a little of Drew barrymore's Celestial thingy -only a tiny bit and it looked lovely. But I also wear the foundation on its own. Well happy with hit.
