What Make up Academy says

The new Pro-Base Complexion Kit is the ultimate on-the-go kit. With its super-lightweight formula it is the answer to every complexion dilemma.

It includes a cream to powder foundation, cream concealer and highlighting powder.

My Experience

Let me confess first that i was after this kit from the time MUA released it.I dont know what appealed me the most,the concept of all the basic three products together or the compact packaging it has.Best time to invest in this was winter so i waited patiently for these cold days.I was confused in Shade selection then finally i made my mind for nude.Ivory is too light even on my fair skin tone.Nude is perfect after applying it adjusts well on skin.

It is basic kit that has three products,Cream to powder foundation,cream concealer and a pink cream highlighter. I really like the packaging of the MUA pro base kit as it is very compact and has all the basic tools too,one sponge to apply the foundation,brush to apply highlighter and a mirror too.All in one place,so it is really very handy in sense.

Firstly i am gona discuss about the cream to powder foundation.It is very light and gives feather coverage.The coverage is very light and feels their is nothing applied on face.The shade adjust very well on skin.No need to blend it,just apply it with the sponge all over face and neck.It doesnt hide anything on face so in my opinion is best for marks free skin and for day time to give a neat look.This really is a great foundation for winters when you don't want a cakey or heavy thing on your skin.I really like it.

Concealer

MUA concealers neva work for me.So does this, very disappointing again.Doesn't hide any marks on face and definately not dark circles.So concealer is a miss.

Highlighter

Lemme say that this is hero of the kit,gives a gorgeous glow to cheeks naturally and gives effect of rosy cheeks.This is my GO TO cream highlighter these days.I am not in to cream highlighter but it gives dewy finish which i like.

Sponge

Very good in applying cream to powder foundation.It can be use with other products too.

brush

Useless for me.I used it once and now it is lying unloved in Kit.

Lemme sum up this for you,I am lazy in blending,so this is a saver for me for those days when i dont want to apply any foundation/BB cream.I just wear the foundation,highlight my cheeks and adds some gloss to lips and ready to rock anything.

Here is a pic in which i am wearing this foundation and highlighter,you can see my spots are visible

Reasons to leave

Would I Recommend?

I would recommend to those who have normal skin having no marks and dark circles and looking for a light coverage foundation and a good highlighter in winters.
