Re: Makeup For Ever!! (MUFE)
Does anyone know what the HD loose powder is like for pale skin? Or any of them, for that matter?
I'm currently using MAC NC15 in the Studio Fix Fluid and NC15 in the Select Sheer loose powder and I'm finding them to be too organey now. I've odered samples of MUFE's Mat+ foundation in the lighter shades, but the only place I can get them here in Aus is extremely expensive ($68 for the Mat+ plus s&h) so I'm eager to find out if any other lily white ladies have had any luck with MUFE powders.

Re: Makeup For Ever!! (MUFE)
Hello, I'm thinking about trying MUFE Mattifying foundation because I need something that'll hold up to the heat and I perspire pretty heavily. The trouble is picking out the right shade from Sephora's website. The Natural Beige # 40 looks like a relatively close match, but when I was matched to Stila Illumunating powder, 40 watt was selected by the MA and it blended right into my skintone.

I've never successfully matched with MAC, the foundation always turns yellow on me but I"m kinda close to NC30 or NW25. Any suggestion?

Thanks,

Athena

Raevyn, HD powder is completely translucent so it's supposed to be for anyone

Re: Makeup For Ever!! (MUFE)
I have the HD Loose powder and I love it. I'm an NC25. You can tell a difference once you put it on. Pores are smaller. It's great. Worth the $30. You only need a little though.

As far as shadows they don't have quite as many as MAC but if you like BRIGHT colors they do have what MAC lacks. Some of MAC Pro's e/s are bright but for the most part they don't carry bright colors like MUFE.

I have the Velvet Matte powder and I like the coverage. It stays pretty matte on me, still.

As for the Aqua liners, I've tried using the white one on the waterline and it didn't work out that well. But I haven't tried to use them for normally lining.

Re: Makeup For Ever!! (MUFE)
for those of you who have just written that you have problems with foundations "turning" on you, i definetly reccomend MUFE, because their foundations stay true to color and have never "turned" anything on me

Question Re: Makeup For Ever!! (MUFE)
Hey y'all, I read on MUA that MUFE Velvet Mat+ dries pretty quickly when applying. Do you find this is the case? If so, how are you applying it? What's the best why to apply it so that it's perfectly blended before it sets?

TIA

Re: Makeup For Ever!! (MUFE)
It does dry really quick, I used to apply it with my 187 brush but you have to have a really quick hand with it or you won't be able to blend it
you could go with any foundation brush or sponge, but blend while applying because you won't be able to do it later hehehe
take tiny amounts and build up if necessary
If you don't need really heavy coverage you could mix it with moisturizer and it will be easier to work with

Re: Makeup For Ever!! (MUFE)
For blending the mat velvet+, I apply it right after primer instead of letting it sink in and I've never had a problem with it.

Re: Makeup For Ever!! (MUFE)
I tried the Matte Velvet foundation today and was a bit disappointed. It looked great at first, after about 2 hours my face looked pretty oily, the color stayed in place though. I also didn't really like the liquid liner. It got really dry on me, and when I went to fix the line later in the day the liner came off in chunks.

I love the eyeshadow though- super pigmented, great purples.

Re: Makeup For Ever!! (MUFE)
I was going to buy the Face and Body foundation, but after seeing the Kim Kardashian foundation video, I really want the HD foundation! I should be able to get to a sephora this weekend and I'll let you all know what I think after testing it out!
