Make Up For Ever (MUFE) Discussion

[Ikara]

Really? is it only on sephora site?
Where I buy them, they do not rise prices untill Jan so I'll go and get what I want NOW hahaha
Anyhow they are much bigger than MAC so for me they are still a great value
(MAC is 16€ and MUFE 18€, MUFE it's still cheaper for what you get)

In the MUFE line, blushes and eyeshadows are interchangeable

so any eyeshadow can be a blush, and any blush can be an eyeshadow. I use 75 on my eyes all the time.

i finally went to sephora and checkout the HD Foundation i love it. it felt light weight when i put it on. the only think i did not like was the girl who put it on me put it on with her hand and not a brush. but she blended it out with a brush. but anywho i am a 178 in the HD foundation. YEAH!!! I got a huge sample that will at least last me for about 3 day and i got a sample of the HD powder. I can not wait to purchase these items i have to weight until next year after x-mas. I am so excited.

regarding the e/s & blush thing--i was told by the SA at sephora that it was a french thing. kind of like how football in the UK isn't the same as it is in the USA. that made sense to me since i don't understand why you'd want to use say, #92, as a blush.

 

[Ikara]

jennifer that doesn't make sense to me at all xDDDD

What makes sense to me is if you see a color of eyeshadow that you like for your cheeks why not using it as blush? are they so different after all?
I do not buy many blushes because I use my MUFE pinks/peaches as eyeshadow and blush. It saves a lot of space too *lolz*

 

[kittykit]

Has anyone tried the Aqua Eyes?

 

[Ikara]

I have one of the aqua eyes pencil (you can see it at the swatches thread)
They apply really smooth and they are LONGLASTING! and really vibrant. I love them, I'm goint to buy more for sure!

I don't why she said that, because it's not true

MUFE blush and e/s can be used for whatever you want, they are so well pigmented that no difference is made, except when you go in greens, blue and such, un-natural pigmentation.

So you can either buy an e/s but on the box it's going to be a blush. But who cares, really? If I like the color I'm going to use it the way I prefer it.

This is what I like about MUFE, they don't make fancy cases, they don't have new colors each month, they focus on how you can use your products. I've been using these since 5 years now and I see no big differences except they now have HD products and some things here and there...

 

[blindpassion]

^ I love MUFE and use it often, but one of the reasons they aren't expanding as widely as they could is because like you said, they aren't making any changes... this is a world where a company needs to evolve in order to stay alive. I live in the capital of BC in Canada, and MUFE is dead in our city. They have a counter that they don't care about and has no staff. This is why the buzz of MUFE is much much smaller then MAC, if they wan't to prosper they need to be more inventive and change product lines... its the only way to expand.

So, working there you may love their product lines, but in reality, a lot of people get ticked with their products for the very reason you listed.... that they don't expand and grow. Because at a point I stopped going to my MUFE counter, because I know theres nothing new... once I own all the products I feel like I'd use, what am I supposed to buy? So I walk to MAC... because I know they are always creating.


Good on them for the HD foundation though, its my HG... and I love the quality of all their products, but they are no competition with MAC or any other top brand because their marketing isnt strong enough.

 

[Willa]

I lied, I've noticed a BIG difference in their marketing campains.

5 years ago, there was no website really, you could not really buy online (now they are at Sephora), everything came from France and when you ordered at the counter it took a while before you could get your things.

The fact is : it's a professionnal/makeup artist line, they don't create as much new products as MAC does because you basically can create as much colors/things as you want with the ones that are already out. Its becoming more and more ''user friendly'' products, but franckly, a normal person who doesnt know much about makeup can't use all the products at their full capacity the first time they use it. Most girls here and MUAs will be able too, because we love makeup, we're aware of what can be done, and what can't.

I believe MAC used to be like this, and I dont wanna ''diss'' on MAC because I love their products too, but I've noticed a change in the way the products are made, the quality isnt what it used to be (less pigmentation in their e/s). That's how companies do when they wanna reach more people, they make it user friendly, more attractive.

The MUFE counter is just next to MAC at The Bay (Mc Gill metro station) and from what I've seen, it's really not the same clientele, so it's true, they are no competition really, but it's ok, because the prices stay the same

 

[blindpassion]

Thats something I will agree with you on, MACs increase in prices has made me buy lots more MUFE... because the quality is better for not much more money, so why not right.

Gotta love their e/s and hd foundation.

 

[malvidia]

last week i bought mufe hd foundation and i couldn't be happier about it! i'm very picky about foundation and i hate feeling that i have a mask on my face. so i usually use very light, minimum-coverage fnd.

when i had to buy a heavier fnd (my skin is a mess lately) i was pretty worried about not finding something i liked enough. but the girl in sephora was really nice and smart and she tried mufe hd on me. it felt like having nothing on me, yet my skin looked perfect, photoshop-like

the colour match was so perfect that i couldn't see any differences with my neck. i was totally in love! the colour doesn't change, which is a big plus for me since most fnd turn orange on me. i did notice some oiliness on my nose and forehead after some hours but every fnd does that to me.

anyway, i am amazed, truly. it's worth every cent (35 euros... ughhh)

 

[Simply Elegant]

For anyone who wants a glowy look but has oily skin, if you mix some shine on powder with loose powder it makes your skin look so flawless and like a glow within instead of seeing any shimmer. I use the neutral one and it's perfect for that. I use it all over with a really big fluffy powder brush.

Has anyone tried their Lash Fibers Lash Primer? I thought it'd be a good idea to be adventurous and try something different than my beloved Shiseido Mascara Base.. I read good things about it on MUA, but when I bought it.. honestly I don't think it's that great. I love dramatic length and volume in my lashes and this just mildly helps to lengthen and define, but NO volume (though it claims to). Is there a special way to put this on (like letting it dry completely or putting the mascara on when it's still wet..?) With the Shiseido base I just put the mascara on directly afterwards and it worked SO well. help? I really want to make this work. I've used it with YSL Faux Effet Cils, CG Lash Blast, and Maybelline Colossal Lash and I feel like it just makes the mascara work WORSE

 

[GlamQueen21]

I love MUFE! I have their Diamond Powder in White Gold and Mauve. I also have thier false lashes. I'm hoping to try their other products as well.
