We've been spoiled with imitations of everything from the luxury Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base to viral Sol de Janeiro perfume mists.
And the latest dupe added to the fast fashion giant's beauty arsenal is the PS... Violet Loose Setting Powder.
The inspiration for the new launch is Huda Beauty's Easy Bake Loose Baking and Setting Powder in shade Ube Birthday Cake.
The product is described as the gloal makeup brand's "holy grail product" and the key to a flawless finish.
But while the pricier version will set you back £34, Primark's dupe only costs £3.50 - meaning beauty fans can save an impressive £30.50.
There's also a liquid blush up for grabs for £3 in the same lavender hue.
The Primark team took to Instagram to promote the fresh addition to their dupe line up.
They penned: "It's official, we're in a lavender haze.
"Our soft-girl glam just got an upgrade. Meet the pastel products your summer makeup bag has been waiting for"
Beauty buffs were quick to gush over the new arrivals and hailed them as perfect for the sunny months.
Primark drops brand new Benefit dupes ahead of summer - there's a copycat of the iconic bronzer and even a freckle pen
One wrote: "I got the blush yesterday, and I am so in love, it blends so well into my skin with full glam and it is super pigmented as you can build it up."
"I'm running right now", insisted a second.
A third cried: "Oh thats 100% my shade! I need."
"Omg I need", echoed a fourth.
A fifth added: "That colour is popping. Beautiful, sooo summery."
Meanwhile, a sixth said: "Oh woweee this is gorg."
We told earlier how the fast fashion giant designed a brand new PS... Lip and Cheek Tint which is priced at £3.50.
And while it's not an outright dupe for anything, Primark bosses believe that 'your no-make-up-make-up looks need this.'
They said: 'Light and emollient, this multi-use tint is a great way to add a natural flush of colour to the complexion and lips, for a natural blush and just bitten look.
'The product is housed inside a single compact, which allows it to be stored easily inside a cosmetic bag or taken on the go.
'We'd suggest using the warmth of your fingers to apply this tint for a blended and perfectly diffused look.'
They also unveiled a £3.50 PS… Freckle Pen, which means you no longer need to bank on the weather or genetics to achieve a freckly sun-kissed look.
Shoppers have gushed that it is 'perfect for summer'.

Inside Pitbull mania as Mr Worldwide convinces 20,000 fans to wear bald caps and suits
"He's been baptised by the girlies as the latest daddy of the internet, our therapist, and world leader": Pitbull fans reveal why they enjoy dressing just like the beloved rapper One of the best parts about living in London is deciphering who is playing in the O2 based on what women are wearing on the Tube. Western boots and sequins for Taylor Swift, pink cowboy hats for Chappell Roan. But picture this: a sea of young women in bald caps, svelte black suits and aviators, as far as the eye can see. In June 2025, Pitbull lived up to his stage name of Mr Worldwide, and started a global movement amongst his fans, in which women attending his concerts (and it does appear to be largely women) have elected to dress exactly as the singer. Distinctive elements of his appearance include the bald head, black suit and facial hair. In fact, according to TikTok's recent The Big Shop Report, Pitbull's 2025 Party After Dark tour saw a 420% spike in costume sales, which includes the bald caps and fake soul patches, while #PitbullConcert views increased by over 6000% between May 25 and June 25. From Paris to Dublin, TikTok videos have gone viral of large groups of women in this exact uniform making their way from bus stops and train stations. They have accumulated millions upon millions of views, even inspiring their own 'Pitbull concert FOMO'. But what is it actually like to attend one of these concerts? And why has the 44-year-old Miami rapper inspired such a loyal, young, female fanbase keen to cosplay as him? I spoke to two Pitbull fans behind some of this year's most viral TikTok bald-cap videos. Nicole, who posted her viral video under @whatnicolebakes, attended Pitbull's concert in the O2 London with a close friend in June. She says they spent under £100 each on the costumes and tickets. 'Everyone was dressed as Pitbull in suits, bald caps and drawn on facial hair,' she tells The Mirror. 'If you weren't dressed like that, you stuck out." But what inspired Nicole to become one of the bald-capped masses? She claims she's been a fan of the Worldwide star since 'the very beginning'. Nicole reveals: 'I grew up listening to his music and the love really started from his earlier popular releases like Hotel Room Service, I Know You Want Me, and International Love, and it's continued ever since.' Where does the appeal come from? Nicole says: 'Pitbull's songs are timeless. They're catchy and get everyone dancing instantly, and you can't not sing along to some of his greatest hits!'

Plus, it's not just about the music. Although she's never met him, Nicole believes he's 'genuinely a great, inspirational person.' She declares: 'He's been baptised by the girlies as the latest daddy of the internet, our therapist, and world leader.' It might sound somewhat implausible to the casual Pitbull listener. After all, doesn't he mainly sing about drinking, hooking up in hotel rooms and 'dale'? But the term 'Pitbull therapy' has been running around online circles for a while now, with fans sharing videos of his feel-good sayings. Nicole explains: 'His Pitbull-isms and lyrics are iconic and have been ingrained into the brains and hearts of people everywhere. My personal favourite is 'This for everybody going through tough times. Believe me, been there, done that. But every day above ground is a great day, remember that.'' Saff (@saffronleijs) attended Pitbull's O2 concert last November and has a similar story. She says her bald cap, sunglasses and tie only came to about £10. As for Pitbull's music, she says she's been listening to it for years and has loved it since she was '18 and clubbing'. She describes the night: 'The whole experience getting to the concert dressed as Pitbull was so funny and then getting closer to the O2 seeing more and more Pitbulls was hilarious. The whole energy of the concert was incredible and still the best concert I've ever been to!' Of course, there is something nostalgic about Pitbull's music. He encapsulates a specific kind of 2010s party essence: a never-ending fiesta of good vibes, free-flowing drink and unselfconscious fun . Who else would inspire so many women to ditch the opportunity to get dressed up for a night out and instead imitate the artist himself? But there remains the big question: what does Pitbull himself make of his thousands of doppelgangers? He recently told the BBC that it makes him 'very, very happy'. He added: 'Every time I'm at a show, I let them know that when you put on a bald cap, I hope you're ready to have the time of your lives – it feels deeper than just music.'

Princess Anne has perfect four-word response when asked about 'housewife' duties
Today marks Princess Anne's 75th birthday, and fans are recalling the moment the Princess Royal had the perfect response when she was asked whether she'd make a good housewife Royal fans are recalling the moment Princess Anne had the perfect response about whether she would make a good housewife. The Princess Royal turns 75 today. But it was more than 50 years ago that she put an interviewer in their place shortly after her engagement to her first husband, Captain Mark Phillips, with whom she shares two children. During a joint interview with her fiancé in 1973, Anne - then 22 - was asked how she rated her skillset as a stay-at-home wife, including whether she could cook or sew. The princess fielded each question, but eventually appeared to reach her limit. "[Do you think you'd] make a good housewife?" the interviewer asked. "Can you cook, for example?" "It's hardly up to me to say," she responded, before adding: "Yes, I've done a bit of cooking in my time." When asked if she'd "like to cook" her fiancé's breakfast in the morning, she responded: "I can manage that. That's easy. Especially when he's eventing because he's not going to get more than a cup of coffee," after which the couple shared a giggle. Anne was then asked: "Can you sew? Can you put... sew on a button?" It was then that Anne issued the blunt reply: "I'm not totally useless." She continued: "I was quite well-educated, one way or another." The interview made its way to TikTok, where one person commented: "Can you imagine those questions this day." Another said: "Princess Anne could wipe the floor with him," followed by a cry-laughing emoji. Meanwhile a third chimed in: "She was restraining herself." "HRH The Princess Anne, The Princess Royal is the most hard working royal there is. And he expects her to be a housewife?!" someone else remarked. The Princess Royal was born at Clarence House and attended the coveted Benenden school, where she obtained six O-Levels and two A-Levels. At just 18 years of age she began to undertake royal engagements, which she has been carrying out ever since. Anne, a champion horseback rider, met Mark on the equestrian circuit and the couple wed in November 1973. Together they had a son and a daughter, Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall, who each have two children. However, Mark and Anne had a rocky relationship, with both rumoured to be involved in extramarital affairs. They separated in 1989 and eventually divorced in 1992, with Anne marrying Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence - a commander in the Royal Navy - later that year. The ceremony at Crathie Kirk near Balmoral Castle was attended by around 30 guests, while the private reception took place at Craigowan Lodge. Mark also remarried in 1997 but divorced his second wife, American equestrian Sandy Pflueger, in 2012. He was later linked to another American equestrian, Lauren Hough.

Jet2 passenger hopes £300 tattoo will help him bag FREE holiday from airline
Craig Hicks, from Telford, Shropshire, finished his right arm sleeve with a tattoo of Jet2's slogan - after seeing what he believes is a trend emerging on TikTok A frequent flyer hopes he will bag a free holiday - after he got the Jet2 slogan tattooed on his right arm. Craig Hicks completed his right arm sleeve with the words "nothing beats a Jet2 holiday" alongside the budget airline's logo. The 37-year-old man says he is "a big fan" of Jet2, having flown with the company dozens of times since it commenced operations under its current guise in 2003. The plane enthusiast, from Telford, Shropshire, insists his family and friends "absolutely love" the giant inking. Jet2's catchy slogan has become somewhat of a trend on social media, as it has been used in more than two million videos on TikTok the summer. "I just thought it's quite topical at the moment, why not? It's just so popular at the moment... "I'll be getting it out on that flight definitely. All my friends keep saying I could get a free holiday out of this! A freebie would be nice," Craig, who is an ambulance controller, said. The body art, which cost Craig £300 on Wednesday August 6, finishes his his "aviation sleeve", which already featured a concord and jet engine. The regular flyer, who has a trip to Tenerife booked soon, continued: "I just love anything to do with planes. To finish my sleeve, I had a load of gaps and wasn't sure what to put there. "I love Jess Glynne and love that song. I recently flew with Jet2 to Madeira. I just thought it would be ace to get 'nothing beats a Jet2 holiday'. "I like Jet2 and thought it would be cool. It's my favourite British airline. I'm definitely a big fan of them. I love everything to do with aviation." Jet2 has used Jess Glynne's song Hold My Hand in its adverts - and on its planes - for nearly ten years. In one iconic TV advert, which first in January 2024, a family of four race with excitement towards the airline's check-in desk, and gleefully board a Jet2 plane, high-fiving the cabin crew in the process - all in cohesion to Glynne's tuneful number. But the "nothing beats a Jet2 holiday" slogan this summer has been used playfully on TikTok by tourists who have encountered holiday bloopers or mishaps - with any airline. Reflecting on the social media trend, Craig continued: "I'm definitely going to show it to Jet2 staff when I next fly with them to Tenerife in December... All my friends and family absolutely love it. My mum said I was mad."
