MUA 'Undress Your Skin' Range | Foundation and Highlighter

I know my last post was an MUA review too, but they've been releasing a lot of new products recently so I hope you don't mind!

So, a new range released earlier this month is the 'Undress Your Skin' range - MUA says it is all your answers to achieve a flawlessly radiant complexion. I picked up two of the items; the foundation and highlighter.

Opinions

 

1.) I don't think this is a medium to full coverage AT ALL! This is a light coverage at the most - my BB Creams give better coverage.

2.) It is too thin to apply with a sponge (my preferred method) so a brush or fingers is best.

3.) Will work well on most skintypes - best on dry skins though as is moisturising.

4.) Not long lasting - lasts 4-6 hours on my combo skin.

5.) I don't understand the illuminating effects - it does not highlight or make my skin look any dewier than if I use a normal foundation.

6.) The packaging is really cute and long - sleek and high-end looking.

Overall, I think it's good for the money but you can get better things for the same amount - if you like light coverage and am not wearing it for a full day this may be for you.

1.) A gorgeous colour on lighter skin tones - on darker skin tones it may not show up as well.

 2.) Slightly gritty texture - okay if applied with a brush.

3.) Can be applied with fingers or a brush.

4.) The packaging is so beautiful - a lovely pattern to display!

Overall, I really like this product and have been wearing it a lot. Well worth £3/£2!
