Primark Make-Up Review


After seeing a lot about the new range of "Ps Beauty" I decided to try them for myself. The shade I picked was a deep plum colour to help ease myself into a darker Autumn/Winter palette.



First up is the Lip Liner at only €1.50 in colour "Plum". The pencil gave a nice crisp line around the edge of the lips, but wasn't as soft as some other brands when it came to filling in the lips, so it did drag a bit.




After filling in my lips with pencil, I applied the all over lipstick "Ladies Day". At €2 the lipstick is a matte, long lasting formula, which like the lip pencil does not glide over the lips, the consistency feels very dry & it tends to drag the skin. However when it is applied, it is long lasting. I wore the pencil/lipstick combo for a full day & only had to re-apply once (after eating).



Cons: The consistency is very dry & drags the skin as it is applied.

Pros: The price is definitely one of the biggest pluses, €3.50 for both is an unbelievable bargain. Long lasting, which is very important with such a strong, dark colour. The colour was exactly the plum shade I had been looking for & will be perfect for the up coming autumn colour palette.

How to Get The Perfect Red Lip

-Gently exfoliate lips with an old, soft toothbrush & non-glossy lip balm

-Line just outside the rim of the lips with NYX's Wonder Pencil (I have used WP01 Light) and blend outwards slightly to make sure there is no harsh line.

-Apply MAC Prep + Prime lip primer all over top & bottom lip. Wait a few moments.

-Line all around the lip edges with Rimmel Exaggerate Full Colour Lip Liner (Shade 024 Red Diva) and make a cross at the cupids bow to make it more pronounced. Use the liner to fill in lips.

-Apply Kate Moss Lasting Finish for Rimmel (Shade 111 Kiss of Life) carefully over top & bottom lip.

-Blot lips on tissue being careful not to smudge lipstick.

-Seperate a facial tissue so that you only have 1 ply, place over lips & gentle apply a small amount of translucent loose powder over tissue.

-Apply another coat of lipstick.

-Using the NYX Wonder Pencil again, line outside of lips, for a crisp, clean finish.

Voilá!
