MUA Undress Your Skin love or hate?

Hello lovelies!

So I'm no beauty blogger and reviews aren't a frequent thing for me, but I was just so baffled by this product that I had to say something about it!

'Covers imperfections and blemishes whilst maintaining your skin's natural glow with light-diffusing particles of shimmer that creates instant radiance.'

Well lets just say I don't quite agree with that statement! 

{The packaging - Under natural light - Under flash}

Love: 

- Great packaging!
I love the shimmery tube design. Compared with Mac glass bottles, you're really going to be able to get all the product out.

-The colour matched well.
This is purely based on my skin tone. Others may not have this as there is only a very small range of 3 shades. I'm very pale with freckles so I went with {Porcelain} which balanced out my redness well and didn't mask my freckles.

Hate:

-Very thin consistency!
Squeeze out too much and you're in serious trouble. That stuff runs everywhere!

-Poor coverage! 
It's said on the packaging that this product will ''cover imperfections and blemishes''. Nope. There is so little coverage in this. Well there is. But not in the places you want it, leading me to the next point...

-Patchy!
No measure of blending, or methods of application (trust me I tried them all.. fingers, beauty blender, stippling brush! I could go on!) will make this foundation sit evenly! Even with primer, there's no name for this other than patchy! Think in parts but zero coverage where you want it!

-Easily transfers! 
I have the horrid habit of touching my face when nervous or bored. Most other foundations I've used can stand up to this but within a couple of hours my hands were completely covered in this product! I looked like a panda gone wrong with foundation only left on my cheeks and forehead! Not a good look for anyone!

-Flat face!
The promised illumination is definitely missing! My face looked so flat and matte that it requires some serious work with highlighters and bronzing! 


So for a product I was excited to try, I'm feeling more than a little let down! :(
This product is a definite hate and I won't be rebuying! 

Below is the finished look if I wore this foundation on a normal day!

  1. Oh that does sound very disappointing. I mean you look lovely, but if you don't like the texture then yeah try something else. x Heroine In Heels

    1. Thank you! Once I've finished the whole face, it isn't too bad at all! It's just really difficult to work with, but I am persevering! Thank you for reading! x
