Millions of happy customers flocked back to the popular shop, and the store revealed what has been at the top of peoples’ shopping list - false eyelashes. 

Primark told Fabulous: “Since re-opening, we have sold almost 800k sets of False Lashes.”

The beauty staple has never been more important after salons closed, and Primark fans have been snapping them up in their thousands. 

Primark sells a range of falsies, ranging from £1 for individual lashes, to £2 for Mulan-style falsies, £3 for their Girls With Attitude range, all the way up to £5 for an exclusive collection. 

The store said: “We’re all a-flutter over our eye-opening collection of false eyelashes. 

“We’re not saying there’s anything wrong with a swipe of good mascara, but some days nothing other than full-on GLAM will do. 

“Are you an in-your-face voluptuous volume type? Or do you go for a more subtle lash look?
