Considering I claim to love highlighters it’s been a very long time since I’ve reviewed one here on my blog. After a trip to Primark I somehow found myself in the makeup section, and this highlighter jumped out at me straight away. From the sleek packaging to the shade… and the £3 price tag.
I’ve been testing it for a few weeks now and I’m ready to share my thoughts.
This is my Primark ultra glow brunch club highlighter review.
The Packaging
The sleek black round packaging reminds me of the classic MAC compacts. It opens with a little button on the front and shuts firmly with a click. It feels sturdy, so I’m not worried about the powder smashing.
The Shade
I have the shade Brunch Club which is a light champagne. At first I was a little worried that this would be too dark for me, but it works out just fine. Spoiler Alert: As you’ll see from the swatch, it looks very dark, but on the cheek it is much lighter. I’m not sure if there are any other shades available, which isn’t very helpful I know. Sorry about that.
The Pigment
If you like a subtle sheen then you will love this. There’s no glitter, it just leaves a nice sheen to the cheeks. Unfortunately, I love a glowing highlight and this just isn’t that. I’ve still been making this work, as I use this and then go over it with a topper. I go over it with ‘Spoon’ from ColourPop which is more of a glitter topper anyway, and I’m good to go. I also have no problem with it fading throughout the day.
Seriously can’t get over how dark this swatches. It’s not that dark when applied.
The Price
This highlighter will set you back £3. Which is about the same price, as the single ones from Makeup Revolution.
Is it Worth It?
Overall this is a really great highlighter. If you love something that leaves a sheen to the cheek then you will love this. I have been enjoying using it, even though it’s not as intense as I’d like. For £3 you really can’t complain.
That was my Primark Ultra Glow Brunch Club Highlighter Review.
Thank you for reading.
The packaging on this reminds me of MAC, and the pigmentation looks gorgeous. The swatch does look a lot darker than in the pan, but at least it doesn’t wear that way! And of course, I like the name!

It’s so similar isn’t it? It is a really pretty highlighter, and it’s weird how dark it swatches. It’s a cute name xx
I’ve never tried any cosmetic from Primark before, but it sounds like a good quality, especially for that price <3

They have some really interesting things in at the moment. This highlighter is fab xx
I’ve never tried any Primark makeup. This is a very pretty shade & great value xx
They have some really interesting things in at the moment. I’m glad you think so!xx
Wow the pigment of this!! I feel like I’d use this as an eyeshadow instead of highlight though. It’s way too shimmery and I like more of a glow xx

It’s weird how dark it swatches, but it’s actually a really nice colour when applied to the cheek xx

It’s such a bargain xx
This shade is everything, I really love champagne ones, I’ve got one from revolution that reminds me of this colour. It’s good it’s much lighter on the cheeks, it looks like it would add a good shine plus the price point is great. I’ve never tried primark make up before, definitely need to give it a go!

It is a really pretty shade, that’s for sure! It’s weird how these shades swatch much darker than the apply to the face. They have some really lovely bits xx
What a great price for a highlighter! I love finding well priced makeup that looks great too, it’s nice that it doesn’t have sparkles I love that in a highlighter xx
It really is! It’s always nice to find a bargain. That is so true xx
My sister has this and she’s always telling me to get it because it’s amazing. After reading your review I may have to pop to Primark and get myself one. I do quite subtle makeup because I’m not that good with makeup but I loooove a glowy highlight!!
Loved this post so much, you’ve definitely influenced me to buy it haha😉xx
I hope you love it, if you try it too! This is definitely more on the subtle side. Haha, hope you love it!xx
Great review.
I’ve never been a fan of a strong highlight but a mild one like the Benefit one..
Have you tried it?

Thank you! Oooh I’ve not tried Benefit’s highlighters xx
This is such a gorgeous colour! I really like Primark beauty – I’ve had a few hits and misses but I find them generally pretty good xx
So glad you think so! You can find some hidden gems that’s for sure, you just need to get past the ones that aren’t so good haha xx
The packaging really does look like MAC’s! The color looks beautiful and I prefer a subtle sheen so this sounds like it would be great. I wish they had more Primark’s in the US!

It really does! Ah, I hope you get more over there xx
This highlighter looks very pretty, but I feel on my face would be way to greyish/dark. It would work perfectly as an eyeshadow on me though! Great review!
It’s strange because the swatch is a lot darker than it applies to the face, but I get what you mean. That’s a great idea. Thank you so much xx
I have always been wary to buy makeup from Primark for some reason, but it does look great! I love the shade, thanks for sharing x
I know what you mean, I used to be exactly the same, but they have some really lovely pieces. So glad you like the look of the shade. It’s no problem, thank you for stopping by xx
This looks like it would be more expensive, the packaging although basis looks really sleek? It’s a great thing that the product was good quality too, looks like a must have x
I know what you mean, they did a fab job on the packaging! It’s a gem that’s for sure xx
This is such a pretty highlighter Hannah, I definitely think that you would only need a small amount as it looks like it packs a lot of shimmer! x

I love this so much! I usually use a more bronze highlighter for my skin tone but this one looks great! It’s so gorgeous x

So glad you like it too! This one is definitely a pretty alternative xx
I can’t believe I’m saying this as a makeup blogger…. but I have never tried Primark Beauty! But this is so pretty
