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.'

A bottle of this Paula's Choice exfoliant sells every 7 seconds and it's down to $28
If you care at all about having soft and glowy skin, exfoliating is key. Not only does it slough away dead skin cells, but it can reduce signs of aging and brighten the complexion. There are so many anti-aging exfoliators on the market, but not all are created equal. We'll make it easy for you: More than 79,000 Amazon reviewers of all ages and skin types swear by this bestseller: Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant. It cleanses skin, helps with cell turnover and it's on sale for $28 — and that's just the tip of the iceberg. We typically only see this elixir marked down around Prime Day or Black Friday, so this markdown is a rare — and extra-special — surprise. If you don't want to commit to a full-size bottle, the exfoliant is also available in a travel size for just $14. Because this is a gentle exfoliant, it can be used daily (but if you notice dry patches developing, dial down usage to a few times a week). Along with unclogging pores, it also works to eliminate blackheads and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, both of which can contribute to adult acne. "I am 50. Love the sun and have had acne issues in the past," one five-star reviewer explained. "This has evened my skin tone, reduced the look of fine lines, evened out dark patches and made my skin smooth and soft like butter. Everything feels tighter." To help reduce dryness or redness, this exfoliant includes green tea extract, a skin-soothing antioxidant. Paula's Choice is also free of fragrances, dyes and parabens. Reviewers with all types of skin concerns rave about Paula's Choice exfoliant, including our very own Sr. Beauty Editor, Jennifer Romolini. She writes in her review: "As a longtime beauty editor, I've tried just about every pore-minimizing, blackhead-eradicating treatment you can find. I'm here to tell you: Nothing clears up these pesky sebum-filled menaces quite like Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting Exfoliate." "I finally have great skin," said an Amazon shopper. "Love this product. I wish I had it my whole life. It has helped diminish pores, clear adult acne and even reduce wrinkles. It makes my skin soft too. I finally, at 50, have great skin. It is also working for my 20-year-old daughter who suffers from acne." Another reviewer said her results were almost instant: "I am over 50 and still have issues with acne," she explained. "I started using this about two weeks ago and noticed an improvement the first day. Now, two weeks later, my skin is completely clear." "When I first tried it, I was skeptical, but the next day I noticed how soft, smooth and clean my face felt," wrote a final fan. "I have very sensitive skin and this doesn't dry me out, burn or leave me feeling oily or sticky. I have naturally dry skin, so hydration can be a struggle for me. This makes my skin feel so soft and hydrated! The scent, however, is not good. I wish they would work on the smell, but otherwise, I can't wait to try their other products!" It's fragrance-free, but some shoppers can detect a scent. "It does smell kind of like wet cardboard," agreed another user. "I haven't been using it long enough to report on its effectiveness. However, I do have sensitive skin, and I have not had any adverse reactions to this product. It just smells weird." Another shopper wrote: "The scent is like a chemical scent but it is not overbearing." If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.) The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.
