I tried the viral Maybelline 4-in-1 perfector but it was a total fail – it turned me orange and got progressively worse | The Sun

A MAKEUP fan took to TikTok to share her first impressions of the viral Maybelline 4-in-1 perfector – but unfortunately was left disappointed, and claimed it left her looking ‘orange’. 

The £12.99 perfector, hailed as a Charlotte Tilbury dupe, claims to work as a primer, concealer, highlighter, and BB cream – but the TikTokker suggests it only does one of the four. 


Olivia, known online as @theoliviasaurusrex, regularly shares beauty tips and reviews with her 418,000 views. 

During the 33-second video, she said: “My local Superdrug is finally stocking these Maybelline Perfectors, so let’s give it a go. 

“This is the 4-in-1 Glow in the shade 00 fair/light which is the lightest shade. 

“The consistency is thinner than I expected so I encoded up applying a fair amount.

“Testing out the concealer claim. There’s just no coverage at all.
