However I find that it still flashes lighter in photographs just like the SFF does at times. So I was a little disappointed that it didn't keep it's promise to photograph well. But, overall I think it's a really nice foundation & I may invest in a bottle eventually. For now I will just enjoy my sample until it's gone.

I noticed the same thing with my color! It think i will have to wait until winter comes in order to get a better match for my skin (i tried 173 which looked great in person but looked light in pictures when I used it last month). The other ones were too dark but i loveee the texture of the makeup :)

Re: Make Up For Ever Hd Makeup

I bought it this weekend while I was at Sephora, along with the MUFE 5 Camouflage Cream Palette (No 4). I LOVE THEM BOTH!

First of all, after the MA put the palette on me I really didn't need that much foundation... at all. I can't explain how much I love this palette. Anyhoo, then he put the foundation on me and I fell in love. My face looked so smooth and even. Like, have you ever been doing your makeup a certain way for a really long time and THOUGHT you were doing good... until you found something better? THAT'S exactly how I feel about these 2 products.

I took some pictures with it on. If I didn't look like a crack head in them all I would post them. Maybe later I will take newer pics and post them with a before and after.

But seriously, even if you don't get the HD foundation, try out the concealer palette. It's $36 but SO worth it to me. My friend (pnuttbuttajelli on the forums) even was like, "WOW! You look AWAKE!" after the MA put it on me.

I love them both so much I just ordered the HD Microfinish Powder online (even though I could have bought it in person, there's a store close to my job... geez I'm lazy). MAYBE eventually I will buy the MUFE primer.

Re: Make Up For Ever Hd Makeup

I have a similar experience. I went ahead and picked up the foundation in 177 and wore it out for the first time yesterday. I saw a friend I haven't seen in a few months along with someone else who hadn't seen me in years and I got a ton of compliments on my skin. My friend e-mailed me today and said that the other girl wanted to know what I had been up to lately, she said I was glowing. Now if that's not a reason to pick up this foundation I don't know what is. It looked flawless and although it was very warm out, I didn't need to pull out my powder to blot. Can't say enough great things about this foundation.

Re: Make Up For Ever Hd Makeup

At first I wasn't sure about this foundation. I wear Nc45-Nc50 in MAC. I tried the 173 too ashy then 175 it looked good but just to be sure I tried the 177. It was way too dark. So 175 it was. I really like it. I have never felt a foundation so light. It's wonderful I got the powder too. The only thing is I have really dry skin (my face takes everything like a sponge) so extra moisture is a must. This can sometimes make me look oily I'm trying to find a solution to this any suggestions?

Re: Make Up For Ever Hd Makeup

Hello ladies,

Can anyone help me find my shade? the MAs in Sephora here are ..hmm how do you say it nicely? CRAP?

They're forever matching me to super light foundations and making me look like the undead. I'm NC 43/43.5. I know you can't give me the exact shade , I was looking to narrow it down to 2 or 3 shades to try. The 173 sounds about right to me..what do you guys think?

Which shade looks closest to NW43-45? I'm thinking 175. TIA

Hi Golden Girl, I have just found out that Media Makeup in Adelaide sell this product. Thought you'd like to know ;o)

Re: Make Up For Ever Hd Makeup

I just picked this up in shade 128 Almond (for medium skin with beige undertones). When the Sephora SA swatched it on me it looked like a perfect match, but I used it this morning along with a light dusting of the HD Powder and in the mirror it looked great but in pictures I had a serious white cast on my face. Not sure if its the HD Powder or if I should get a darker shade.

I personally think its the HD Powder. I had that same problem.

I love the consistency of this foundation, but unfortunately, I could not get the PERFECT match.

Oh well, back to my MAC foundations.

I have tried it and I LOVE IT! I'm #153 and it disappears into my skin. This foundation is worth the price. Go to sephora and just test it out. it can't hurt.

Once you've applied your moisturizer blot off any excess with a tissue before applying your foundation. This was suggested by Kevin Bennett, he is the U.S. Director of Artistry and Development for MUFE .

Re: Make Up For Ever Hd Makeup

i bought 170, and I use NC45 in MAC. It *may* be a little light, but I didn't like the tone of the 173 in the store. I'm not going to buy it again. I like my Velvet Mat + better. The coverage is a little too light for my liking. BTW, I have oily, young skin, no wrinkles. A few dark brown spots from acne.

wifey I got the 173 HD too and I just need more coverage. I tried it with and w/o the caramel primer but I'm not really happy with the coverage or the color. I think I'm just going to get another Studio Tech. I just ran out.

Re: Make Up For Ever Hd Makeup

i went to sephora over the weekend and purchased MUFE HD #170. she tried other shades and they were either to light or peachy. this one worked very well. what i like is that i can build the coverage where i need it and it doesnt look caked on. i have hyperpigmentation on my cheeks and i hate it. after applying the foundation and then nw40 select concealer on my cheeks it provided about 95% of coverage of the dark areas which is good. i didnt see so much darkness peeking thru like some of my other foundations allow.
