Hey there and welcome back to a new post. I’ve been wanting to write this review on the Primark Foundation for almost a month now, but I wanted to make sure that I’d tried it out a fair few times to get a proper opinion on it. Anyway, I really hope you enjoy this post and if there is any other products that you would like me to review in the future, please do let me know.
Let’s start by talking about the packaging because packaging plays a part in making me want to try products out usually, but not so much this time. This foundation comes in a squeezey tube, which has the typical ‘PS … My Perfect Colour’ logo on it that is recognised across all of Primarks beauty range. At just £2.50, this foundation has to be one of the cheapest … and certainly one of the best, I’ve tried in a while. You get 35ml of product for this price and that’s actually 5ml more than you average 30ml foundation tubes.
This foundation is said to have a medium to full coverage, but if you’re like me and use a damp beauty blender on application, then this gives more of a medium coverage. I use the shade Nude and this is perfect for my skin tone, it has just the right warm under tones and isn’t a really orangey shade … which some other really cheap foundations are. This foundation gives a really nice natural finish with a bit of a glow, without the oily look/ feel. My skin is more on the oily side now a days and a lot of foundations end up almost sliding off of my skin throughout the day (sounds gross, I know) but this one seems to stay put and doesn’t get more oily throughout the day … obviously this could be down to a good setting powder too, but I’ve used this with a couple of powders now and it works just the same with both.
The only downfall for me is that it’s not the easiest product to get hold of, due to Primark not having an online store to order it on and my nearest Primark is around half an hour away. However, this will just make me stock up on it every time I’m able to go into the store.
So what are my overall thoughts? Well I really like how the foundation looks and feels on the skin, it doesn’t cake up but you can also build it for a higher coverage (although it has got a good medium coverage already) and it’s very cheap for what it is. Like I said, it isn’t very easy to get hold of but that’s easily fixed with stocking up on it. They only have 7 shades in this foundation (at least that’s what it shows on the Primark website) which for a cheap foundation and a fairly small brand in terms of beauty products, its actually pretty good but let’s be real 7 shades isn’t good enough so that would be one other negative for me. Other than the 2 negatives, I deffo think that it’s up there with one of my all time faves and it’s even better than a lot of the high end foundations I’ve tried. I cannot recommend you all to try this enough, especially if you’re on a budget.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post and I hope you enjoyed reading about my thoughts and opinion on the Primark Foundation.
