MAKEUP REVOLUTION Ultra Base Corrector Palette

Hi guys,
just a quick post about this palette. I had my eyes on it for some time now and finally decided to get it.

I don't have many discolouration problems but sometimes my skin have an attitude towards me (meh). So I thought it will be quick and especially cheap fix for my skin.
I was excited to get this as I wanted it for a longer period of time but was quite disappointed by the performance of this palette. The colours are nice and they're creamy enough to blend easily,but the pigmentation isn't the best which results in weaker performance. I tried the green shade which cancels out the redness I had around my nose and on my forehead. I also used the pink shade to brighten my dark circles. It blends easily but doesn't cover much as my under eye area is pretty challenging to cover

I didn't try all shades yet, like the highlight one, as I think will do nicely in the autumn/winter time.

I personally think this is an okay palette especially for £6 as you can't go wrong wih a price tag like this! ;-)

Tuesday's make up look

Hey guys!

Today's quick post is about my autumn quick natural look which I managed just in couple of minutes.

To begin with, I prepared my face with moisturiser and primer and then I used Gosh Foundation Drops in shade 002. I really like this foundation cause it gives my skin natural and even look without being too heavy. It has a watery consistency which I like as my I have oily skin.

Then I used my NYX HD concealer in shade fair; this conceals my dark circles and brightens the look as it's quite pale which I like. It blends easily because of its creamy texture and doesn't set in my lines which is a big plus.

For the eyebrow I used Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in shade Auburn as it's a warm shade which fits my ginger hair and it stays on for ages. Loving it!

I used Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in black and winged that eye!  I didn't use any primer because this eyeliner is the best- doesn't smudge and stays all day even though my eyelids are super oily. Another staple of mine. I finished my eyes using Maybelline Lash Sensational Lash Multiplying Mascara, which I got only recently but so far liking it a lot! I didn't expect it to be this good, it gives me volume and doesn't smudge. I was a bit sceptical about it because the last Maybelline mascara I used made me look like a panda.

I finished my look using Sleek Face Contour Kit in light. I swirled brush in the contour/bronze shade and lightly contoured my cheeks and temples to give my already pale face some colour. Then I took the highlight shade (which I love btw) and brought it on top of my cheekbones to give myself that glowy look that looks amazing in this season.

I didn't use lipstick or any colour as I was going for a meal and i wouldn't enjoy having lippie on my lips. So I used a lip balm and headed out of the house as I was starving (but I always do lol).

I hope you liked my post and if you do, keep coming for more!
