Makeup For Ever!! (MUFE) - Page 4

I went to the Makeup Forever Counter to be matched for Matte Velvet. The MA tried half of the line on my face as swatches and they were ALL too pink for my golden (Asian) skin. Then she tried mixing dark colors with light (I have to do that with Laura Mercier's line because they too are all too pink for many Asians) still no go. She came closer with the regular line of foundation,but it was too glossy on my skin. (Hence,back to NARS foundation)

I do love the lip mattifier.Sometimes matte lips are very sophisticated.

I love MUFE's face and body foundation!
I used to to use MAC's f+b.. i liked it because it worked with my skin type better then any other foundation, but I always seemed to be on the search for something better (texture and coverage wise). So, I ran out of mac's f+b and was just about to buy more, but decided to try MUFE's f+b on a whim.. and all I can say is WOW. I love MUFE's so much more! Don't get me wrong, I'm still a fan of MAC's f+b, but it doesn't compare, imho, to MUFE's. I could go into great detail about why it's better, so if anyone is interested, let me know =)

I haven't had a chance to try anything else by MUFE yet (except for MatVelvet+ foundation which wasn't right for my skin type, but would be great for others), but I checked out their star powders at Sephora, and they looked awesome. They're going on my xmas list for sure!

Has anyone ever tried their Mist and Fix spray? I was wondering what exactly it does...although I see a small $8 size of it on Sephora.com so maybe I'll check that out

Has anyone tried their brushes? I've been checking their site and they are kinda cheap so I'm considering buying them...
I am curious about their countour powder and how is it compared to the sculpt and shape from MAC

How would you compare the texture of their eyeshadows against mac matte formula? I swatched mac matte, matte 2 and MUFE and I think matte and MUFE's are nearly the same, which I do not really like... I'd rather buy matte 2... find it softer and easier to blend

Plus MAC and MUFE have the same price here in Spain but MUFE gives more product for the same price so... I'm just wondering which matte eyeshadows I'm going to haul xD

So... at last I tested it myself hehehe so I though I would share with you the results of my market study (as I call it hahah)

brushes: I do not have any MAC brush but I bought one from MUFE and compared it with my Sephora's and my Make up store ones... MUFE got highest marks, but I still have to check Sephora's platinum brushes... hehe

shadows: compared MAC matte, MAC matte 2, Make up store matte and MUFE matte. Results: as I said, swatching it on my hand MUFE = Matte, and MUS = Matte 2, but using them on the eyelid... MUFE = Matte 2 in means of colour payoff, blendability... so I think they are gorgeous! MUS is great but not as good as MAC or MUFE

so, for me, MUFE is the winner for matte eyeshadows

If you are looking for a good Red Matte Color. Try MAC's Basic Red Pigment. Its a PRO color so your gonna have to get it at a MAC PRO Store. But it is a FAB color honey

...true red.

Thanks to everyone who posted here. I have a lesson/makeover appointment with MUFE this week and you guys gave really good advice. I'm not really familiar with many of their products but I'm soo curious now. I can't wait for my makeover!

I didn't feel like reading this whole thread (I'm so bad!)
I just did a major event with the brand at work, and I got to work alongside the Pro Artists.

I Love:
Aqua Eyes Pencils! Amazing staying power, great colors, love the smooth texture. They don't get all hard and tug at your eye.

Star Powders! Incredibly versatile loose pigments, similar to MAC pigments (but they come with a sifter, so if you're clumsy like me, you won't lose as much if you spill it!)

Eyeshadows #92(Matte, true red), #99(Vibrant Matte Purple), #18(Vibrant, Matte Coral/Orange), #86 (Shimmery teal similar to MAC Parrot), #26 (Matte HOT PINK!) Super pigmented, incredible color payoff but bewarned a lot of the brighter colors will stain the skin lol

Super Mat Loose Powder! Translucent shade is truly invisible. Waterproofs your makeup, keeps everything looking super fresh. A little goes a long way, so it lasts forever!

Face&Body Liquid Makeup! I didn't initially like this product because it contained a lot of fillers and mineral oil which didn't agree with my oily skin. They've since reformulated, and I like the new version a lot better. It stays on all day, the coverage is buildable, and it doesn't smear and run all over the place in extreme conditions. Great for artists who want to mix customized shades, and looks amazing on film and on brides. I use this makeup on every bride I work with.

Full Cover concealer! Matte finish, waterproof. Doesn't smear or run around the eyes, fully covers scars and blemishes, but is oil free and won't clog pores.

Lift Concealer! I mix this with full cover so that it will stay better. The texture is very light, decent coverage but it brightens up a dull/dark eye.

Diamond Powder! Super fine milled glitter made from real diamonds. Extremely versatile (mix them into your loose powder for a sexy glam look or sprinkle them in your hair when you go out under lights at a club) What girl doesn't like a little glitter?

Diamond Shadows! Eyeshadows milled with diamond particle and mother of pearl. Super smooth and super shimmery, use them wet as a slick shiny eyeliner.

So, here's what I could live without:

Eye Seal-->Doesn't hold a candle to BeneFit SheLaq
Aqua Lip pencils-->Way too dry
Sculpting blush-->Colors are ashy on me
Mat Velvet+ foundation-->I liked the original better. This one is way too thick, it doesn't move well.
Kohl pencils-->Why bother? Aqua Eyes pencils are soft and smudgy and stay put, kohl pencils run away as soon as you touch them.

All in all, it's a really fun line to play with and all the products are made to last. If you get the chance to try on the products or play with the colors, I strongly encourage it!

High definition has arrived at MUFE!
has anyone tried this new line??
I've seen on their site there is a foundation and a powder.

I bought MUFE mat velvet + yesterday, my first time to use a liquid foundation. I love it. It is holding up pretty well than my MAC fix plus foundation. I'll def stick to this product.

Has anyone tried any of the MUFE flash color e/s? They have great colors and I might get the Coral later.

I have 4 MAC paint pots and I didn't really like them

I love paint pots! do you not like them because the colour doesn't show? I have perky which is like non existant when I put it on but I use it as a base and it's great
