MUA Pro Base Prime & Conceal Palette Review

I was really intrigued to see the  MUA Pro Base Prime & Conceal Palette whilst browsing in Superdrug, as correctors seem to be mostly exclusive to high end brands and I’d wanted to try one for a long time in the hope of concealing dark circles and purple tones more effectively than standard concealer.

The MUA Pro Base Prime & Conceal Palette is a corrector palette containing five different correcting creams for targeting a range of skin imperfections:

Lilac- Brightening and correcting yellowness.

Green- Reducing redness/blemishes

Yellow- Brightening and correcting purple tones (e.g dark circles)

Peach- Adding radiance

Middle colour- Highlighting

I was sceptical of how effectively the palette would work as its only £4 but I was massively surprised with the results. The consistency of the creams is thin but still delivers just the right amount of  coverage so that you can still apply your regular concealer over the top without caking. I’ve been mainly using the peach tone to brighten under the eyes and I’ve found it to be significantly more effective than the majority of concealers I’ve tried. I’d be lying if I said it completely abolishes dark circles, but after using this palette the purple tones under my eyes were barely visible.

I’ve also been using the green shade to correct redness which seems to work effectively as well, although it could perhaps do with being slightly darker, as its very white when applied. 

I haven’t been getting too much use out of the lilac, as I don’t really have any yellowness to correct and I’ve been preferring using the peach tone for under the eyes instead of the yellow, as I feel it looks more natural. Also, the central ‘highlight’ colour is actually more of a concealer shade on me, so I’d rather it be a bit more champagne coloured, perhaps it works more effectively on darker skin tones.

Overall I still have to say that this palette is definitely worth purchasing if you’ve always been interested in correcting as for £4 you get the chance to experiment with five different correcting creams.  However, instead of repurchasing the entire palette again, I think I’d be more inclined to just purchase the individual peach shade, which is a huge bargain at £2.
