Makeup Revolution is one of my favourite cheaper brands, I love their eyeshadow palettes, lipsticks and blushers. The quality of Makeup Revolution, on the whole, far surpasses expectations especially when considering the very low price point. I was kindly sent their new corrector palette which looks really interesting and I don't own anything else like it.
The *Makeup Revolution Ultra Base Corrector Palette (£6) contains eight corrector shades for numerous uses:
- Light Pink: brightens
- Lavender: neutralise yellow undertones
- Green: neutralise redness
- Orange: neutralises blue undertones
- Peach: balance out discolouration
- Silver/White: highlight
- Cream/Yellow: neutralises purple and dark circles
- Brown: balance ashiness in medium to darker skin tones
Firstly, I have to say that some of the colour descriptions online are not what I would describe them as in the actual palette, for example, the 'white' shade is actually a glittery silver and the 'cream' shade is yellow in my opinion.
I thought the texture would be quite waxy, caky and hard to blend however I was pleasantly surprised as they are really creamy. The pigmentation varies between the shades with the green and cream/yellow shades being sheerer and the pink, lavender and brown shades are the most pigmented. All shades are easy to blend out with fingers and less so with a brush unless it is quite dense and firm.
I have been using the green shade the most as my skin is naturally quite red on my cheeks and nose; the green shade definitely helps to reduce the redness and a little goes a long way. I've also been using the peach shade under my eyes to corrector the darkness I have as well as the cream/yellow shade a lot recently. To apply I tap the product onto well moisturised skin, then I apply my foundation or concealer over the top. The shades aren't really stark or obvious on my skin if I use a light hand and if I blend well. The three/four shades I use the most are great even on my drier skin type which I wasn't expecting but the one shade I won't use is the silver/white as it is so metallic! Although I cannot wait for halloween to come around as this palette will be so useful!
Overall, if you are looking for a corrector then try out this palette as for what you get it is well worth the money and if you don't like one/two shades then you still have six shades to use. The creaminess of the correctors is fantastic as it means that they blend well. As with other Makeup Revolution palettes, this one is slim and has a large mirror so it would be great for travelling. Overall rating: ★★★★☆, 4/5.
Have you tried this palette or anything else from Makeup Revolution?
