Life in Dubai seems perfectly filtered from all the amazing photos you see on Insta. So you really can’t blame us girls for always wanting to look like we have perfect skin too.
Now I have tried a few colour correctors from different brands to achieve that ‘no filter fresh skin’ look, but just thought they were a bit of a faff. That all changed however when I tried MAKE UP FOR EVER Ultra HD Underpainting Color Correction Palette.
Girls, I’m telling you I was mind blown! 🤯
This palette is simply magical, I’m not sure how Make Up For Ever did it, but these shades just melt into the skin. Initially I though these shades were too dark for me, but they literally disappear into my skin thanks to their ultra-creamy texture. I use shade 25 Light in the winter and shade 30 Medium in the summer when I have more of a tan. They are super easy to apply, this is what I do:👇
💫 First I use the salmon (pinkish) shade under my eyes, it instantly brightens my eyes and corrects any dark shadows.
💫 Then I use the green shade around my nose and on my spots. I don't really see the green, it just melts instantly and covers up any discoloration or redness.
💫 After I blend both the flesh tone shades (Y215,Y245) under my eyes and the middle of my face to even out my skin tone and voila! My skin still looks like my skin only better, you just can't detect the coverage at all👌.
I usually use a concealer brush to sweep this product onto large areas that need extra coverage, and a lip brush for a more precise application on blemishes and spots. I then take a fluffier foundation brush and lightly buff it into my skin for a flawless finish. The whole thing takes 15 seconds tops.
You can then apply your regular foundation and makeup as normal 💄.
These creams also don't crease under my eyes, don't settle into my fine lines and they feel so light. I love how the palette is so slim and portable for quick touch-ups too 💁♀️.
There are six palettes to choose from based on your skin tone. Each palette includes two color correcting and two concealer shades so you can build up the coverage to suit your needs.
Try it out and remember that practice makes perfect 😉.
