MUA Review

Hey everyone,



So I was treated to some of MUA's newest products on Saturday all in the name of beauty blogging. Me, being the big kid that I am, quickly wiped off my makeup and proceeded to 'play' with my new makeup. So I created a Saturday casual evening out look and then a Sunday shopping look.

So the products I received were: MUA Matte Perfect Primer
MUA Undress Your Skin Radiant Under Eye Concealer
MUA Undress Your Skin Illuminating Foundation in Porcelain
MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter
MUA Mega Volume Mascara in Black
MUA Shimmer Kiss Blusher in Pink
MUA Kiss Proof Lip Stain in Fruitalicious

So as you can see I created my version of a casual Saturday night look and a Sunday shopping look. But, how did the MUA products fare? Well.......


MUA Matte Perfect Primer - I like this product, it is very similar to Benefits PorePerfect. I am not too precious regarding which primer I use, but it is one I will try out on my skin before I apply my BareMinerals powder to see how it is.


MUA Undress Your Skin Radiant Under Eye Concealer in Radiance - I do like a multi-tasking concealer that can be used to cover blemishes as well as conceal dark cirlces, this is obviously not a multi-tasker. I found it effective at covering up my dark under eye circles without going dry or creating that 'cakey' look as it settles into fine lines. I would need to purchase a separate concealer if I am to continue to use this product.


MUA Undress Your Skin Illuminating Foundation in Porcelain - this is quite a thin and runny foundation so you need to use a little at a time. I'm the kind of girl that puts foundation on the back of my hand to be applied by brush to the face. As I mentioned it is a thin foundation which on application settles on to the skin nicely, if like me you like full coverage then it just requires building up. It is definitely a foundation I'd wear on a lazy Sunday mooching about the shops. I would say that it's lasting power is quite low, a few hours wear and I found my makeup going greasy and required some maintenance.


MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter - I loved this highlighter, perfect for dusting on those areas you wish to highlight. Although one point I would make is that the size of the product might lead to people who are not makeup savy to dust it all over their face like a bronzer, or maybe that was just me that had that thought!


MUA Mega Volume Mascara in Black - I would use this as a work mascara. Basically a mascara to wear to work when I'm not all that fussed with volume. I found that it took some time to build up the volume on the lashes where as I love Rimmel Volumeflash Sacndaleyes Mascara, all you need is two coats and your ready.

MUA Shimmer Kiss Blusher in Pink - a pretty pink shade that's not too dark or heavy, also ideal for building up to make it more stand out. Definitely a blusher I would keep, especially for that lazy Sunday look.


MUA Kiss Proof Lip Stain in Fruitalicious - this is quite a deep pink lip stain and creates quite a dramatic look. It takes a few minutes to dry but it is slightly transferable, I did do the kiss test to try it out. Although teamed up with a lipgloss this lip stain is great. Perfect for a standout daytime lip or a Saturday night makeup. I would buy a lighter shade for an everyday wear, again teamed with some lipgloss.

So there you have it, my recent beauty product haul with some out and out winners in the pile. Have you tried any of these? What did you think of them? Feel free to leave a comment and links to your own blogs, I do love a good read.
