Primark make up Hit or Miss


When I was in Primark the other day I noticed that they had some cheap make up, that I thought I would try.
They do have more than I currently have, but I didn't want to try all of it as some of it did look cheap and tacky. I have got some lipsticks and lip stains. I also have the eyeliner as I got recommended it, by a twitter friend.

Swatches of the lipstains in red and pinky/purple

The lip stains were the most expensive at £1.50 each and I got myself two colours as I got one and it was really nice and pigmented and lasted a long time. But the pinky purple one while it is pigmented, it doesn't last very long.But then again I cant really complain much as it was only £1.50 and you get what you pay for, Id give them a 6/10.

Swatches of the lipsticks
The lipsticks are £1 each, as some of you all know you can get amazing lipsticks for £1 by MUA, so I was excited by the fact that Primark had brought some out in my local store. I picked up the 3 shades of pink that they had in store to have a little shot with them as I really do need to get some new lipsticks but just don't have a lot of money to buy them. They do come out really pigmented when you swatch them on your hand but on the lips it takes a good few coats of them to show up properly on your lips. They are a lovely creamy consistency but they do dry your lips really badly, for that id give them a 6/10.
Swatch of the eyeliner

The eyeliner cost £1 for two eyeliner pencils and a sharpener, great for budget purposes but not so amazing for the waterline where I normally put kohl liner. But they do work well for the smudged liner look. They are highly pigmented and creamy for the price they are it shocked me. Id maybe give them about an 5/10.

All in all i think the Primark beauty brand is a good idea for those maybe just starting with make up, or a teenager who is a bit clumsy or messy and loses things easily. Its purse friendly but I wouldn't go out my way to buy the things again.

Cya later guys.
