Holly Willoughby's colour correcting primer is £10 less than the viral Stila one
Holly Willoughby is known for her fresh-faced natural beauty looks, and it turns out the secret behind her makeup is this affordable colour correcting primer
After countless years appearing on our TV screens, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Holly Willoughby would have curated a beauty routine that's full of expensive products. However, her makeup artist Patsy O'Neill revealed that there's actually plenty of affordable products she uses to prep Holly's skin before heading on camera.
As every beauty fan knows, the secret to long-lasting, flawless makeup all starts with your base, which is why we were thrilled to discover that Patsy actually uses a very affordable product on Holly. Whilst doing Holly's makeup for Dancing on Ice, the MUA shared that she used Super Facialist's Skin Perfecting Primer, which hydrates, protects, refines and colour corrects skin.
You can pick up the multi-use primer for £16.98 on Amazon right now, making it the perfect affordable alternative to the cult favourite Stila One Step Correct Primer, which is priced at £28. The Super Facialist primer also comes in two different shades, medium-deep and fair-light, to suit all skin tones.
It's packed with skin-nourishing ingredients like cica, which helps soothe and calm skin, niacinamide to control oil and improve texture, and hyaluronic acid which hydrates and boosts moisture retention. As well as benefitting your skin underneath, the primer also gets your skin ready for your makeup to be applied, giving you a solid base to let your products shine.
It features blurring technology to help smooth imperfections and pores, as well as a built-in colour corrector thanks to the multiple pigments. This helps balance and even out skin tone, tone down any redness and brighten up sallow complexions, as well as improving all over dullness.
If redness is your main concern, you could also try the Erborian CC Red Correct, which combines green pigments with nourishing ingredients to help neutralise redness and discolouration. To reduce dullness, you could also try out the Huda Beauty Faux Filter Color Corrector which comes in six shades and promises to brighten your skin tone and camouflage everything from dark circles to blemishes.
However, Super Facialist's Skin Perfecting Primer promises to do all of these things in one, which is why it's not surprising it's gotten such good reviews on Amazon. One wrote: 'Great product for mid tone to dark skinned women. Evens out skin well and provides a good base for make up. Lightweight and breathable.'
Whilst another agreed: 'Really lovely primer,smooth, easy to put on. Best I've ever used. Will definitely be buying again.'
Some did find some issues, writing: 'Always wanted to try a colour correcting primer like this. Whilst it smooths on nicely, I don't notice any particular improvement in skin tone and I don't find it particularly suitable for oily skin.'
However others couldn't get enough, with one reviewer praising: 'Absolutely amazing primer. Make a real difference under foundation and has a lasting effect,' and 'It tones my red down and for the price it's just as good as other more expensive brands.'

Tom Holland, Jacob Elordi and Harris Dickinson at top of James Bond wishlist
Tom Holland, Harris Dickinson and Jacob Elordi are rumoured to be at the top of Amazon's James Bond wishlist, according to a new report. Variety has learned from insiders that the new iteration of 007 would be under 30 and the three actors could be fighting it out for the role. No meetings have taken place and Amazon has yet to confirm anything. The report emerges days after the Dune and Arrival director Denis Villeneuve was announced as the first director of Bond's new era under the Amazon-MGM banner. The French-Canadian film-maker, now working on the third Dune movie, reportedly beat out Conclave's Edward Berger, Westworld's Jonathan Nolan, Paddington's Paul King and Shaun of the Dead's Edgar Wright for the role. 'I intend to honour the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come,' Villeneuve said in a statement. 'This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honour.' Early rumours had suggested the Gravity director Alfonso Cuarón would step up, having worked with Bond's new producer David Heyman before, but he removed himself from the race. Cuarón is set to work on the darkly funny drama Jane with Charlize Theron instead. Holland, best known for playing Spider-Man, has also starred in the video game hit Uncharted and Apple series The Crowded Room. He'll next be seen in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey before returning for the fourth Spider-Man movie. The 29-year-old actor once tried to pitch a 007 spin-off to Sony. 'I had a meeting after or during Spider-Man 2 with Sony to pitch this idea of a young Bond film that I'd come up with,' he said in 2022. 'It was the origin story of James Bond. It didn't really make sense. It didn't work. It was the dream of a young kid, and I don't think the Bond estate were particularly interested.' Dickinson, known for Triangle of Sadness and Babygirl, recently received rave reviews for his directorial debut Urchin at the Cannes film festival. 'I mean, listen, man, you'd be a fool to not entertain that role,' he said when asked about playing Bond in 2023. 'I'm loving seeing the development of James Bond and seeing how it changes over the years. I think Daniel Craig was such a good Bond that I'd almost be quite frightened to try … Who knows what they're doing with Bond? I'm intrigued.' Elordi is the only Australian of the bunch, but could follow in the footsteps of George Lazenby who played Bond in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The actor, best known for his role in TV drama Euphoria and Sofia Coppola's Priscilla, will soon be seen in Emerald Fennell's unconventional adaptation of Wuthering Heights with Margot Robbie. In 2023, Elordi called rumours that he was being linked to the role 'beautiful' and added: 'I just like that people maybe want to put me in their movies. That makes me really glad.' The release date for the next film is yet to be announced, but Variety is claiming that anything sooner than 2028 would be impossible. The 26th Bond film will follow Daniel Craig's final outing No Time to Die which made over $774m at the global box office. Earlier this year, in a reported $1bn deal, Amazon MGM bought the rights to gain 'creative control' of the franchise. In March, producers Amy Pascal and David Heyman were hired to take charge of the new film.

Holly Willoughby's Glastonbury mini dress is the only festival outfit you need
Holly Willoughby was spotted wearing Free People's vintage-inspired mini dress to Glastonbury this year – and if there's one new festival outfit to buy, it's this one From Kate Moss' glitter micro mini dress to Alexa Chung's signature denim shorts, there are plenty of iconic Glastonbury outfits that have become the blueprint for festival dressing. And now we can add Holly Willoughby to that list, as the presenter managed to snag the perfect dress for festival season. Holly was snapped on Friday at Worthy Farm wearing the Lenna Set from Free People, which she paired with some chunky brown boots, a western-inspired belt and a matching brown fedora. Everything from the loose, relaxed fit to the lace details make the set perfect for nailing a boho, vintage style that's always a hit for festivals, and the harder accessories help give it a little bit of edge. Priced at £158, the Lenna Set actually comes with two pieces; a flowing white mini dress and a cropped lace jacket, which were inspired by classic vintage bedroom sets. Both pieces can be easily styled with almost anything else in your wardrobe, giving you multiple outfits in one and saving you space on your festival packing list. The mini dress has a retro shift silhouette, with adjustable straps and a V-neckline, and is made from a crepe satin that's soft and comfortable to wear. The lace panelling around the neckline plays into the vintage look, and its relaxed, slightly A-line fit means it skims over your body for a comfortable and flattering fit. Although you could easily style the dress from the Lenna Set with anything from a denim jacket to an oversized leather jacket for a more edgy look, the matching lace jacket helps keep the vintage boho look. The jacket has short puffed sleeves for a little bit of volume, with a rounded neckline and tie closure at the front, which you can leave open or fasten. Holly opted to wear the two together, and it seems she chose the shade 'summer shower' which is a crisp, clean white. However it also comes in four other shades, including brown, black, dusky pink and a cream shade that makes a softer alternative to the stark white option. For a more affordable version of Holly's dress, we spotted this £35.99 Reclaimed Vintage Mini Lingerie Cami Tea Dress at ASOS, which has a similar silhouette with lace details, although of course doesn't include the lace jacket. We also love H&M's Embroidery-Detail Playsuit, £54.99, which has the same vibe as Holly's look but with the bonus of shorts to prevent chafing in the heat.
