LOOSE Women panellist Olivia Attwood has revealed her bargain foundation obsession - despite admittedly being a lover of “expensive stuff”.
The 33-year-old was catapulted into the limelight on Love Island in 2017 and has gone on to be one of the show alumni’s biggest influencers.
And at the moment, she’s influencing fans to pick up athat you can nab for less than a tenner.
Olivia claims that the foundation goes “beyond coverage”.
“It had unbeatable hydration, yet instant full coverage that feels lightweight,” she reviewed on Instagram.
“My skin feels enriched and there’s SPF 20 in there, so I’m going to be protected throughout the day.
“I’m not gonna lie to you guys, you know I like expensive stuff.
“But if I can find a foundation for £10.99 that has a premium finish, then it just makes sense.”
The base product in question is R.
It costs £10.99 full-price, but is currently £8.79 in for any bargain hunters.
“This foundation boasts up to a 35 hour wear,” Olivia continued.
“So, if you’re having a brat summer and you want a foundation to keep up, it’s gonna be your best friend.
“It also looks stunning in natural light.”
After a day of wearing the while running errands, the telly star said she was “very impressed.
“There’s no creases, I’m still looking radiant,” she said.
“It’s a 10 out of 10 for me.”
Olivia exclusively told Fabulous in April that she’s actively trying to adopt a more sophisticated look - and opting for radiant make-up could just be part of that.
“I used to dress like a reality star because I wanted to be one and I wanted to be on Love Island,” she said.
“But now I’m making documentaries, so I want to look cool, respectable, and I never want to look too loud or too busy.
“I am more mindful of where I’m going and what type of impression I would give people, I think.”
From Monster grid girl and Love Island star to daytime telly panellist and respected documentary maker, Olivia Attwood has made a huge career pivot in recent years...
Olivia first started as a Monster grid girl at motorsport events in 2012 when she was 19-years-old, and did it right up until she went into Love Island in 2017.
After placing third in the reality show with then-boyfriend Chris Hughes, she starred in their own spin-off series, Chris & Olivia: Crackin' On, in 2018.
Later that year, she appeared on Celebs Go Dating and then joined the cast of The Only Way Is Essex in 2019, where she had a number of fiery on-screen rows.
In 2020, the reality TV veteran began starring in her own reality series on ITVBe titled Olivia Meets Her Match, which followed her wedding preparations with footballer Bradley Dack.
In 2021, the tide started to turn.
Olivia made appearances on household shows Lorraine, Tipping Point: Lucky Stars and Loose Women.
Then, in 2022, ITV commissioned her for her first ever documentary series.
She presented Olivia Attwood: Getting Filthy Rich, which explored women selling sexual content online.
In June 2023, ITV commissioned Olivia Marries Her Match and made her a regular guest panellist on Loose Women.
Her most recent docu-series, Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection, aired in January this year where she sensitively explored the cosmetic industry.
