In her latest video, the content creator shares her first impressions of Primark’s latest makeup dupes.
“I’ve been and bought a load more makeup from Primark, so let’s try it out.
“I’ve spent £80 in there in the last week and a half on Primark makeup to try out. That’s how dedicated I am to this.

“So first things first, we have the Flawless Glow Radiant Glow Primer Foundation Hybrid, and this is the dupe of the Flawless Filter by Charlotte Tilbury.
“This is £5 and I got it in the shade Buttermilk. We are going to be using this as a glowy primer today as I have another foundation to try out which is very exciting.
“So let’s give this a go. Hopefully, this will be my shade when it rubs out. It’s quite light at the moment.
“Right I think this is going to be absolutely fine and I’m glad I got a foundation to go on top of it because this is not giving me enough coverage.”

She later adds: “So I’ve blended this out and I’m sure we can agree that it’s given my skin the most beautiful glow.
“It looks so lovely, so healthy, so shiny and I think this is going to be an absolutely gorgeous base for my makeup.”

Another said: “After watching your Primark foundation trial, I ran to Primark and got some myself best thing I’ve ever had! Better than my MAC.”
