Primark is launching THREE brand new MAC and Dior beauty dupes that are £82 cheaper
PRIMARK has launched three brand new beauty dupes, with which you can save as much as € 82.50.
The fast fashion giant’s beauty salons have become a coveted place to stock your makeup bag in recent years.
And that’s thanks to the constant conveyor belt of dupes.
There have been copycats of an iconic Benefit Range, a “dead-ringer” for Bobbi Brown’s Vitamin-Enriched Face Base and, more recently, a £6 dupe of Charlotte Tilbury’s £195 Magic Cream.
Now the Irish retail giant’s bosses have dropped two new MAC dupes AND a Dior dupe.
The best part? They are all in shades of pink as part of Primark’s 2024 Breast Cancer Awareness solidarity range.

Around the world, October is recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Primark bosses revealed: “We are donating more than £1 million to cancer charities across Europe and the US.
“This will go to charities that support research and services for people affected by breast cancer.”
The new pink beauty dupes are designed to raise awareness of breast cancer and encourage shoppers to get involved with relevant charities and organizations this month.
The first MAC dupe is for the renowned makeup brand’s Fix+ setting spray range, which costs £29 per bottle.
The Primark PS… Prep + Protect Setting Spray costs just £4.50 – and is said to provide just as refreshing benefits as the MAC “radiance” version.
A blurb reads: “Prep your skin and feel refreshed with this priming setting spray.
“The spray dispenser is packaged in a 100ml bottle and provides a fine mist, leaving your face refreshed and ready for product application.
“Formulated with aloe vera, niacinamide and provitamin B5, which are known for their skin-softening properties.
“Consider it a boost to your daily beauty routine.”
Best Beauty Dupes
Fabulous’ Beauty Editor, Tara Ledden revealed the cheaper version of your favorite beauty products you should have in your cupboard.
“According to new research from Elf Cosmetics, a whopping 55% of us would like to spend less on our beauty routines, so it’s no wonder there are millions of #dupe videos on Tiktok.
“While some dupes are easy to spot because of their appearance, they often fall short when it comes to content.
“In fact, some of the best dupes look nothing like the luxury product they’re a dead ringer for — and trust me, they’re the ones you want.”
REAL: Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer, £32.50 DUPE: Natural Collection Bronzer, £3.50, which is a saving of £29. The Natural Collection Bronzer is available in more shades, although there is no mirror in the compact.
REAL: Hydro-Grip Primer for Milk Makeup, £35 DUPE: Elf Power Grip primer, £10. These two share a similar green shade and the same long-lasting, mattifying properties – although Elf’s is so popular it’s just as difficult to obtain.
REAL: Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipstick, £28 DUPE: L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Satin Lipstick Beige A Now, £8.99. The shades of these two lipsticks are almost identical on the lips, although Charlotte Tilbury’s is matte, but the L’Oréal Paris Lipstick has a satin finish – which actually makes it more comfortable if you wear it all day.
REAL: Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation, £40 DUPE: Lasting Perfection Matte Foundation Collection, £6.99. While they don’t look the same from the outside, the formula, consistency, and staying power of both foundations are quite similar — unfortunately, the collection only comes in 20 shades versus Estee Lauder’s 60 options.
REAL: Shinier Boys Brow, £20 DUPE: Essence Make Me Brow Gel, £2.50. There’s an entire Reddit thread dedicated to this dupe, so you know it has to be good. They both have a waxy consistency and added fibers to make brows look fuller. I have to say the color range at Boy Brow is much better, but if you are brunette there are plenty of Essence color options to try.

RETURN OF THE MAC
The second MAC dupe is the iconic £32 Strobe Scream, which comes in different shades for different skin tones.
Primark has released a copycat – called PS… Prep + Perfect Glow Cream Illuminating Primer – for just £4.50.
A blurb reads: “Part of our Prep + Perfect range, our illuminating primer gives you a beautifully glowing base for your makeup.
“It is a cream that melts effortlessly into your skin and leaves a radiant glow.
“Infused with pomegranate extract for a soothing effect, and vitamin E for its nourishing antioxidant properties, it offers multiple benefits.
“Apply before your foundation or concealer for a smoother canvas.”
DIOR BAPTISM!
The £2.50 PS Vitamin Lip Oil has been released in a new, lighter pink shade in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
This product is a dupe for the sold out £33 Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil.
Primark bosses said: “The skin on your lips is sensitive to the environment and is often the first to crack, flake and dry out if it doesn’t get enough moisture.
“That’s why it’s important to take good care of it!
“We formulated this essential lip oil with vitamin E, jojoba oil and hyaluronic acid to keep lips soft, supple and better hydrated.
“Simply apply in the morning or before bed as part of your skincare routine and enjoy quick revitalization.”
