What the gurus are saying

This underpainting kit blends seamlessly into skin, though the shade runs slightly darker than some prefer in natural light. One creator found it works nicely for her complexion, while another uses it successfully but wishes it were a touch lighter. Either way, it applies smoothly without looking patchy or heavy.

"This is from Mary Phillips new brand. It's her underpainting palette and I can't stop using this. I am wearing it today. The more I've worn it, the more I do get excited about the fair shade of this. While this works for me, it's a hint too dark. Not to where I can't make it work. It obviously still looks nice, but in natural light specifically and just in general, it's a hint too dark for me. I just have to shear out the product a little bit more than I would want to."

"Mary Phillips is launching her viral famous underpainting technique in a simplified kit where you get five or so colors and that you can now paint by number your face to have a more sculpted effect. I don't have it on currently, but I have tried it and it does blend very seamlessly and it works really nice on your skin. I will just say if you are prone to acne, maybe be careful cuz some of it is a little bit rich in oils."
