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.'

Relive Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' most cringe-worthy moments as extravagant Venice wedding kicks off
From accusations of blackmail, an alleged cheating scandal, and a front-page expose, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's romance was shrouded in scandal from the start. But despite the rocky beginning, the pair - who are set to tie the knot in Venice, Italy, this week - have proven that love really can conquer all, even the most sordid of controversies. They have certainly not been shy about showing off their love, packing on the PDA all across the globe, getting quite intimate in front of cameras, and even participating in sultry photoshoots together. Just last month, the Amazon founder, 61, was photographed spanking his soon-to-be wife's behind while she was sunbathing on his $500 million superyacht, which notably has a custom wooden figure-head at the front that shares a striking resemblance to Lauren. And who could forget the time their shocking smooch at the amfAR Cannes Gala went viral? Or when Lauren, 55, spilled all the details on Jeff's elaborate and romantic proposal and confessed that she nearly 'blacked out' after seeing the massive diamond engagement ring - which is rumored to be worth $2.5 million? Whether they're getting cozy on the red carpet at star-studded events, jetting off on lavish getaways together, or gushing over one another in interviews, it's fair to say that the couple have embraced a 'go big or go home' lifestyle together, and they're not afraid to show it. Which is why it comes as no surprise that their wedding is expected to be a massive, multi-day extravaganza attended by a slew of Hollywood A-listers, business moguls, fashion stars, and even political figures. As we gear up for what some may dub the wedding of the century, FEMAIL has recapped Jeff and Lauren's most over-the-top moments together. Starting off hot and heavy: A bombshell report in 2019 claimed that Jeff and Lauren had a secret affair... and it included some VERY raunchy text messages While it's unclear when exactly they started dating, Lauren and Jeff's romance was first exposed by the National Enquirer in January 2019. At the time, the bombshell report claimed that Lauren and Jeff had been involved in an eight-month affair, which involved him 'whisking his mistress off to exotic destinations on his $65 million private jet, sending her raunchy messages and erotic selfies, and having secret rendezvous at palatial private estates.' The outlet said that it had tracked them 'across five states and 40,000 miles, tailing them in private jets, swanky limos, helicopter rides, romantic hikes, five-star hotel hideaways, intimate dinner dates and "quality time" in hidden love nests.' The report also included some pretty raunchy text messages that were allegedly sent from Jeff to Lauren. In one, he reportedly told the former TV star: 'I love you, alive girl. I will show you with my body, and my lips and my eyes, very soon.' In another, the magazine claimed he said: 'I want to smell you, I want to breathe you in. I want to hold you tight.… I want to kiss your lips…. I love you. I am in love with you.' Others were more X-rated including one where he is said to have told Lauren: 'I miss you. I want to kiss you right now and tuck you in slowly and gently. 'And maybe in the morning wake you up and not be quite so gentle with you.' In another, he allegedly said: 'Your energy and ideas and competence and SPIRIT turn me on. You make me better. You're meant for me.' One day prior to the report's shocking release, Jeff and his then-wife-of-25-years MacKenzie Scott announced that they were divorcing. Lauren was married to Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell at the time, and they filed for divorce soon after. Can't keep their hands (or lips) off each other: The pair constantly pack on the PDA while jetting across the globe, and Jeff was even spotted SPANKING Lauren The boat, which stretches across 416-feet and comes with its own helipad, has a figurehead that bears a striking resemblance to Lauren on the front of it Jeff and Lauren didn't wait long after their romance was brought to light to start flaunting their love all over the globe. They were seen for the first time together publicly in May 2019, when photographers caught them enjoying a romantic date night in New York City, and they made their first official appearance as a couple at Wimbledon that July. Since then, the couple have enjoyed a ton of lavish getaways together, and have spent much of their time sailing across the globe on his $500 million mega-yacht. And it seems they could hardly keep their hands - or their lips - off one another as they're often spotted packing on the PDA and sharing in passionate make out sessions in public. Back in May 2023, the couple raised eyebrows when Jeff was photographed playfully hitting Lauren's behind while they were walking in the South of France. And two years later in May 2025, the mogul was seen groping and even spanking his fiancée's bottom again while she was sunbathing in a tiny bikini on his enormous water vessel. A few days later, a video of them sharing an awkward smooch at the amfAR Cannes Gala started circulating online. The couple was seated together at the event, when Lauren noticed that the cameras were on them, so she leaned in to give her beau a sloppy kiss in the cheek. Immediately after, she appeared to wipe saliva off Jeff's cheek, who looked completely unamused throughout the whole thing. After the video was shared online it quickly went viral, with social media users claiming that the Amazon founder seemed 'tired' and 'embarrassed' by her flirty behavior. Cheesy quotes: The couple are constantly gushing over one another in interviews and online - and they even participated in a Vogue photoshoot together Lauren and Jeff are constantly gushing over one another in interviews and online - and they even participated in a sultry Vogue photoshoot together. They were featured in the acclaimed publication's December 2023 issue, but were mercilessly roasted over the photoshoot. Some branded it as 'cringe' and 'uncomfortable' and others accused the magazine of photoshopping the Amazon founder's muscles in it. One image showed Jeff sitting in the front seat of a truck while Lauren leaned over from the passenger side and draped her arms around her fiancé. She donned a white tank top while he opted for a black T-shirt, jeans, and a cowboy hat. They pressed their faces together and starred seriously at the camera. While speaking to the outlet, Lauren gushed about her future husband and entrepreneur's shining personality. 'He's the life of the party,' she said. 'He's just extremely enthusiastic, and extremely funny. He can be really goofy. I mean, you've heard him laugh, right?' Jeff had similarly kind and loving words for his partner. 'Lauren has amazing intuition, almost witchy powers in that regard,' he said. 'She sees things that other people don't see. 'She's really very sensitive to other people and what they're thinking.' The over-the-top proposal: Jeff popped the question on his $500 million super yacht and Lauren said she 'blacked out' when she saw the ring When the couple got engaged in May 2023, it came as no surprise that the billionaire pulled out all the stops for his proposal. Lauren opened up about the moment he got down on one knee to Vogue during her and Jeff's joint interview, revealing that she 'blacked out' when she first saw the huge diamond ring. She told the publication that Jeff had concealed the piece of jewelry under her pillow, which she discovered at the end of the evening just before they went to bed. 'When he opened the box, I think I blacked out a bit,' she said. Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro, estimated that the rock is likely worth $2 million. He told 'A ring of this caliber is no small feat or expense. Based on the photos, the ring appears to accentuate the colossal center stone with a thin band and fine detailing. 'Lauren's gargantuan diamond appears to be between 15 and 20 carats. I'd estimate the value at a whopping two million dollars, if not more. 'To find a natural diamond in that carat weight is exceptionally rare. It was likely months of preparation to make this ring a reality.' THAT controversial Blue Origin trip: Lauren faced immense scrutiny for her 11-minute journey to space - and Jeff hilariously tripped when she returned Lauren made headlines in April when she embarked on an 11-minute trip to space on Jeff's Blue Origin rocket with an all-female flight crew. She was joined by Katy Perry and Gayle King on the trip, amongst others. The women crossed the Karman Line, often used as the boundary of space, and were treated to roughly three minutes of weightlessness before they headed back down to the ground. Their journey was powered by a reusable rocket which pushed the capsule into space before detaching and gently guiding itself back to Earth. But many celebrities - including Olivia Munn, Emily Ratajkowski, and Kesha - slammed the endeavor. To make matters worse, after the ladies landed back on Earth Jeff awkwardly tripped and fell to the ground as he walked over to the capsule to greet his fiancée and the rest of the crew. Though he recovered quickly, the moment made its way to social media, where the public mocked him. Their multi-day wedding extravaganza: The couple have pulled out all the stops for their nuptials, reportedly renting out an entire island for six days Jeff and Lauren are said to have invited 200 people to their multi-day Italian wedding. Suspected celebrity guests include Ivanka Trump, Orlando Bloom, Kris Jenner, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Kim Kardashian. The couple have allegedly rented out the entire San Georgio Maggiore island for six days for their glamorous wedding. An insider told the Daily Mail that the island is 'off-limits to visitors' from June 24 to June 29. The original plan was for a huge party at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia on Saturday night but it has now been moved to another venue in the Arsenale area of the city, according to local media. Around 60 of Venice's water taxis are reserved for the week, with some of the 400 gondolas on the island out of commission as well. Attendees - who will be treated to lavish gifts including hand-blown glassware by local glassmaker Laguna B - will allegedly be split between five-star hotels Hotel Cipriani and Aman Venice. A wedding expert previously estimated that Jeff and Lauren's wedding will cost the couple $15 million to $20 million, not shocking considering Jeff's $224.6 billion net worth. But locals in Venice are outraged by the wedding disrupting their daily lives and have been protesting, with posters popping up all over the city that read, 'No space for Bezos.' 'From the outset, instructions from our client and our own guiding principles were abundantly clear: the minimizing of any disruption to the city, the respect for its residents and institutions and the overwhelming employment of locals in the crafting of the events,' Jeff and Lauren's wedding planning company Lanza & Baucina said in a statement to Page Six. 'Before the recent news of protests arose, we had worked for there to be minimal negative impact or disruption to the lives of Venetians and the city's visitors,' the wedding planners continued. 'We have always acknowledged the wider debate and critical issues surrounding the city's future, and from the outset our client has been honored to support the city and its all-important lagoon through non-profit organizations and associated projects. 'Rumors of "taking over" the city are entirely false and diametrically opposed to our goals and to reality,' they insisted. 'No exaggerated quantity of water taxis or gondolas have ever been booked, the number of taxis reserved being proportionate for the number of guests.'

Newly single Orlando Bloom cosies up to Kim Kardashian at Jeff Bezos' wedding – after split with Katy Perry is revealed
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ORLANDO Bloom put on a cosy display with Kim Kardashian after his split with popstar Katy Perry was revealed. The duo have headed to Venice as part of Amazon chief Jeff Bezos, 61, and 55-year-old fiancee Lauren Sanchez's star-studded wedding guest contingent. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 9 Orlando Bloom put on a cosy display with Kim Kardashian as they embraced in Venice Credit: BackGrid 9 Kim, 44, looked engrossed in their conversation as they stood in the Italian sunshine Credit: BackGrid 9 They are on the star-studded guest list for the nuptials of Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos Credit: Getty 9 Reports suggested Orlando would be 'making his debut as a single man' following his reported split with fiancee Katy Perry Credit: The Mega Agency It comes after reports the Pirates of the Caribbean actor, 48, would "make his debut as a single man" at the A-List wedding of the year's three-day celebration. Clearly eager to embrace his stunning Italian surroundings - and escape speculation over his situation with the Roar hitmaker, 40 - he has touched down ahead of the nuptials. Orlando was seen looking casual in a black vest top and shorts, finishing off with white sports socks. He was seen stretching out as he strolled around the picturesque Italian streets with a pal, before spotting Kim, 44, and sister Khloe, 40, at nearby restaurant, The Gritti Palace. Keeping Up With The Kardashians alum Kim looked chic in black Balenciaga trousers paired with a dark bandeau top. She pulled on a pair of silver sunglasses and brushed her locks into a slicked-back up-do and was seen opening her arms to welcome the Lord Of The Rings actor into an embrace. Her sister Khloe, decked out in bold leopard-print, could be seen watching the pair as she stood alongside. The trio then sat at the same table as wedding attendees mingling at the pre-ceremony event. Jeff and Lauren's wedding venue was recently revealed as an "open air theatre" on a Venetian island. A series of jaw-droppingly pricey hotel suites have also been booked out for the happy couple and their guests. 'I thought I was going to die' - Hollywood star dropped FOUR STONE to play boxer leaving superstar fiancee horrified Kim and Orlando's warm welcome came after it was reported Katy - who shares daughter Daisy with Orlando from their 10-year partnership - told pals they were over back in January. The I Kissed A Girl songstress won't be part of the wedding celebrations - despite cutting a striking figure in a see-through top at Lauren's Hen - as she is on tour. ALL CHANGE Last week, The Sun reported how Orlando and Katy held crisis talks to try to save their relationship after leading increasingly separate lives. American news website TMZ then said Brit-born Orlando would be 'the life of the party' and that he would be hitting 'the dancefloor hard' when he arrives in Italy for the nuptials. An insider said: 'No one has decided it's definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando. 'They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets.' It's understood Orlando and Katy are planning on reuniting on July 4 when there is a break in her touring schedule. The insider added: 'They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months.' Tensions within their relationship also reached boiling point after Katy's flight to space on board Jeff's Blue Origin. Katy, along with Lauren and Gayle King, were hit with a public backlash and those close to Orlando said he had warned Katy about taking part. They said: 'From day one, Orlando didn't think going on the Blue Origin mission was a good idea, and knew she would face a backlash.' DONE DEAL? Yet it was then claimed Katy - who is on tour in Australia - had told her mates their engagement was over at the start of the year, before removing her engagement ring. A source close to the couple said: 'Katy confided in friends at the start of the year that their relationship was as good as done. 'They decided to hold off on announcing anything in case things improved between them, because they are desperate to stay together for the sake of their daughter. "But they have spent barely any time together this year, with Katy on tour and Orlando working on his upcoming film Bucking Fastard in Dublin. 'She knew that taking off her engagement ring would send a clear message. 'It's been a hard year so far. They wanted to wait until the tour is over before they made their split official, although Katy has grown tired of the situation.' The couple started dating in 2016 and got engaged three years later. However, The Sun understands they had difficult conversations about their future over Christmas and in January but struggled to make a firm decision. Reps for the couple refused to comment when approached about their separation in February and again this week. 9 The KUWTK alum looked elegant in all-black attire with snazzy silver sunglasses Credit: Getty 9 Her little sister Khloe was also in on the chat Credit: Getty 9 It comes as Orlando is attending the wedding solo Credit: BackGrid 9 We reported how Katy had told her pals their nine-year partnership was over earlier this year Credit: Getty

Life-size mannequin of Jeff Bezos lying on a giant Amazon box dropped into Venice canal in wedding protest
A life-size mannequin of Jeff Bezos lying on a giant Amazon box floated through Venice's Grand Canal on Thursday (26 June) in protest of the billionaire's upcoming wedding. Clutching dollar bills, the figure drifted past gondolas, amusing onlookers while making a pointed statement about wealth and inequality. The stunt, orchestrated by activist group Borne Media, used a remotely controlled motorised raft to carry the fake Bezos. His wedding to Lauren Sánchez has sparked backlash from Venetians and activists, who see it as a symbol of the growing divide between rich outsiders and local residents struggling with rising costs and overtourism.
