So many more colors than MAC. Love the pink and grass green Aqua Eyes pencils. I need them so bad.

The only thing that drives me crazy about face and body is the numbers do not go in order, they are completely random. When i got matched some obscure number like 87.5 that she tried on me was too light, 40.3 was too dark, so logically, I must be a 2. But hell, she was right!

This conversion chart that karlasugar did was bang on correct for me, after being colour matched for all three in person.

I'm still lost though. It doesn't say what #3 is...I'm guessing that's NW30 (which is my shade in the summer)? NW30 is not a very common shade

It's not a complete list, I think thats half the problem. The other half of the problem is that the numbers are completely random. So if you are an NW25 and you know that a nw20 is f&b 2, this does not mean you are 3, or 4. They are not sequential. The other thing about the chart, I noticed was nw20 was matched to multiple shades of f&b, so I really think it's essential that you be matched in person. After trying several, including some of the "NW20" equivalents, they were most definitely not my shade. But #2 was. There is no way to know this other than being matched in person.
Addendum:
From a relatively accurate mac-mufe hd conversion chart in the other thread, an nw30 is "equivalent" to HD 135. By going to the shade matching tool on sephora, an hd 135 is "equivalent" to f&b 40. This is just based on what I can find, no idea if this would be true for you though. HTH

Hey ShadowyLady! You can always call or go down to the MUFE boutique in Montreal since you're from Ottawa...so it I guess whenever you go there for a trip or something lol They even carry the pan palettes and eyeshadow pans. It's the only location in Canada now supposely that carries the pan eyeshadows unless you order by phone. I also heard you can even call them and discuss a good colour match according to your Mac shade and it's best to try on samples from Sephora too.

Can I just say, I've used MUFE HD since November, and I couldn't be more pleased even STILL with it. Every time I put it on, I fall in love with it all over again. I am still so impressed after all this time.
Its like painting on a second, perfect skin onto my face. My imperfections disappear!

musingsofamuse.com has just posted a review for MUFE's new HD Elixir. Sounds promising but not something I'd purchase since I don't have dry skin..

| ...The formula is a light, gel like consistency. It can be applied to your entire face or you can mix it with your foundation. I haven't tried mixing it with my foundation as of yet but I do look forward to what that does for my foundation application. It comes with a dropper which easily distributes just the right amount for application. The serum is oily free and feels a tiny bit sticky during first application but quickly smooths on and gives my face a fresh feel. ... If your skin is dry, if you tend to flake up and you're looking for something to make your skin look radiant while keeping your skin moist all day and your makeup fresh, Make Up For Ever HD Elixir is the way to go. Definitely loving this at the moment and Muse Approving it for purchase. Well worth checking out if you struggle with dry skin! |

A little story about MAC and MUFE......
I work at Sephora and we have all of the brands come in and train us on all the lines every so often to keep us up to date on new products. Well I happened to be opening the first Sephora I worked at so all of the lines had to train us from the start. I thought the story the MUFE rep told us about how MUFE started was very interesting, especially for MAC fans...
As the story goes, twenty or so years ago, there was a lovely French lady named Dany Sanz. She was an artist of many forms, mainly a sculptor and a body painter. Back then, good makeup did not exist, especially the bright and crazy colors that Dany needed for her art. The makeup she was using on her models would drip off under the hot studio lights, and acrylic paint would flake off and irritate the skin. So, Dany, after becoming frustrated with the lack of good makeup for body painters, asked two of her scientist friends to help her create makeup that was super pigmented but would also stay on her models' skin. Together, they all created beautiful, high-quality makeup in Dany's kitchen. Other artists began catching on and asking Dany where she was getting her amazing makeup. Thus, MUFE was created. Oh, and those two scientist friends of hers? They went on to make another high-quality makeup line. You may have heard of it... it's called MAC.
So if you ever wondered why MUFE and MAC have so many similarities, it's because they started out as the same makeup!
This also explains why if you ever go into a MAC store or counter, all of the brushes are on display in Bunson burners, it's because MAC was created by scientists.
Thought you all might find this as interesting as I did. Another interesting fact: MUFE is the official line currently being used in Cirque du Soleil and Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.
