beautyblender Surface Pro

Described by Beautyblender as a ‘workspace for you make up’, this see-through artists’ palette enables you to be your own make up mixologist – blending together several shades (and textures) of concealer/foundation… pretty much any product you want – to create a bespoke shade to match (or complement) your colouring. The numbered storage wells enable you to organise and protect your specialist blends, while the thumb hole doubles as a resting place for your Beautyblender Sponge. This is the tool you never knew you needed – it will liberate the backs of your hands from smears and smudges, whilst cutting down on wasted product (you can keep the excess fresh – and retain those perfect swatches, to facilitate quick mixing in the future). Just hold the daubed palette in front of your face to identify your ideal colour balance, then apply with a dampened sponge to create a flawless canvas.

Ideal for travel and those who sometimes struggle to find the ‘right’ base, this ingenious clear plastic palette is designed to help you find the perfect shades to complement your skin tone, with minimal mess (and maximum satisfaction). With a flexible spatula for blending, and a series of sealable wells, just ‘download, mix and match’ – then keep your custom colours ready to use (and hygienic) with the snap-tight lid. It’s also really easy to clean when you want a fresh start – just wipe with Blendercleanser, or your favourite liquid soap. The latest innovation from the brains behind Beautyblender, this promises to become a make up pro must-have. The sponge has won a remarkable five Allure ‘Best of Beauty’ awards, and has been used to perfect some of the most distinguished A-List canvases (Jennifer Lawrence, Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyonce… to name a few).

Just as you would usually mix shades on the back of your hand, this palette helps eliminate the mess (and waste), as well as making it easy to spot in an instant which shade suits you best. Apply preferred shades of foundation, concealer, BB cream, lipstick or even cream eye shadow formulas to the palette, mix together with the spatula (included), then apply to face using a damp Beautyblender,
