MUA Pro Base Conceal and Brighten Palette

So I'm back after the Christmas break! Hope everyone had an indulgent Christmas and a great New year and got incredibly spoiled! I know I did.

So jumping straight in I was wondering around the shops with my boyfriend when I discovered their Pro-base conceal and brighten kit and thought hold up MUA are very good at telling people they have new stuff so whats going on here! I had to grab it.


The basics, this is a concealer and highlighter kit. Theres 2 concealers a nice peachy toned and a yellow toned. My kit is in porcelain - beige which is the palest they do and its a good match for me. The concealers are nice and creamy and the formula is very similar to Benefits Boi - ing.


I've used these alot since buying it Sunday and the coverage is very good. I use the peachy toned under my eyes to conceal any dark circles and use just a little of the yellow toned in the inner corner to brighten my eyes. The yellow toned I use to hide a few key areas (redness around the nose and few small patches of uneven skin tone) I find this lasts all day and sits well. I don't find any of that annoying sinks into your pores look that some concealers have. Even though the coverage is medium to full I don't find it sits heavy on my skin.  Also there's minimal creasing under the eyes. Wearing concealer all day around that area I'm not to bothered if there's some creasing unfortunately there's going to be creasing but its nothing a quick blend with a finger isn't going to sort out.

The texture is great it isn't one of those concealers that doesn't let you blend well. It glides on nicely and has a formula that you can build up.

I apply to the skin with my fingers then blend in with my real techniques pointed foundation brush. As I write this I've had this on since around 12pm (Last friday before going back to uni decided to be naughty and a little lazy) and I still have good coverage.


The highlighter is a beautiful shimmery pink colour. Which catches the light nicely. I use this on my cheek bones and brow bones. It looks quite dewy but when blended is fairly matte. It sits nicely on the skin as well. Its a similar shade as Benefits Watts up (Which is my fave cream highlighter) So this is a nice dupe of that.

The kit comes in a nice easy to handle palette, it will slip into a hand bag easily for touch ups on the go. Only downside is there isn't a mirror but I'm guessing most of us have a little mirror compact anyway i know I have one stowed in my bag. Plus for £3.50 you really can't grumble.

So well done MUA another great product which I'm going to be loving!

Have you managed to spy one of these? Whats your fave concealer? Let me know!

You can pick this up in selected Superdrug stores or online Here
