In this video I tried the infamous Uche Natori base routine… but with a twist: I don’t have clear skin. I’ve got acne-prone skin, hyperpigmentation and scarring, and I wanted to see if I could still get that flawless, snatched “Uche base” without doing my usual color correcting (because she doesn’t need it, but I normally do). I literally watched her video through and through, took notes, and followed the steps—especially the parts that are not my normal routine. I swapped a few products where I didn’t have the exact ones (like using e.l.f. Power Grip primer, and my Haus Labs foundation in 490), and I tested techniques I don’t usually do—like applying contour before blending out concealer, and blending concealer with a brush first for more coverage. That honestly surprised me because it made everything look way more full coverage, which is a big deal when you’re working with texture and marks. I also talk about what worked for my skin (coverage, blending, precision), what I’d personally tweak (some powders under the eyes, and adding a bit more lip definition), and I finish it off with setting sprays and final touches like beauty spots. If you’ve ever thought a “perfect base routine” can’t work on acne scars, this is me proving it can still look really good.
