How it compares on the make-up shelf
The typical make-up product on our shelf scores 4.4 out of 5, measured across 47 rated products. This one comes in at 4.3. That lands in the bottom quarter. Nothing alarming on its own, though at this money you can find better-rated neighbours, so there should be a particular reason for choosing it.
That score rests on 70,413 ratings. The median for this shelf is 18,388. A score built on that many opinions is hard to shift and hard to game, which is why we weight review volume rather than ranking on stars alone.
On money, this sits in the bottom third of a shelf running from £1.00 to £24.61, with the midpoint around £5.93. Buying at the cheap end is fine as long as the rating stands up. Here it does not quite, so check what has been cut before assuming the saving is free.
