MUA Undress Your Skin Highlighter.


MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter (£3 from MUA and Superdrug). 

Just let's take a moment to stare at this highlighter and sigh. How beautiful is this product? And no it's not your Dior or your Chanel mega-expensive product, it's super bargainous high-street brand MUA. I bought this highlighter on the current 3for2 MUA face products offer when I also bought their latest Undress Your Skin Foundation. In keeping with the on-trend naked skin look, this highlighter offers a beautifully subtle shimmer to give your skin that ultimate nude finish. I love the silky rippled effect imprinted onto the surface of this powder highlighter- it makes it look so much more expensive and luxurious!

As you can see, this is a pink blush based powder with a silver shimmer highlighter- this creates a non-glittery iridescent shimmer across the skin which isn't at all glamour-girl sparkly, which I know can put a lot of people off using highlighter. I've been loving using this to highlight my cheeks and my brow-bones and I can absolutely get away with wearing this for work, that's how natural-looking it is. You actually get a lot of product for your money and a little goes a real long way. I actually can't believe this only costs £3!!!! Overall, you have to try this out even if you typical avoid highlighters, give it a go and it will probs change your mind!

In a nutshell: Beautiful subtle pink silver shimmer highlighter for a bargain £3.

MUA Undress Your Skin Foundation.


MUA Undress Your Skin Foundation in Porcelain (£5, from Superdrug). 

The world of natural/naked skin opened up to me when I first tried the Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation. I saw that the new MUA face products were on 3for2 in Superdrug so I thought I'd give some of their new launches a go. Their Undress Your Skin range claims to give a natural, glowing finish to your skin. I love the packaging of this foundation with the purple-stone coloured tube which is super easy for dispensing product in a controlled way. 

The foundation itself is quite a runny fluid and glides onto the skin, providing a light-medium coverage with a natural finish. It's one of those foundations that isn't matte but isn't super wet-looking either, it just gives that natural dewy glow. Now usually a bargain brand make their lighter shades too orangey for my skin but Porcelain is the most beautiful buttery ivory which suits my skin perfectly. I actually can't believe how good this foundation is considering it's only £5! It covers my redness, pores and blemishes and sets evenly without looking cakey. It lasts all through the day which I wasn't expecting for a bargain foundation- I literally couldn't believe it! This foundation feels super light on the skin and my pores don't feel clogged up with product. I'd definitely recommend this foundation for makeup beginners and beauty lovers alike!

In a nutshell: Beautiful, natural looking finish light-medium coverage foundation that lasts all day long and only costs £5!!
