I wear Mat velvet 35 too!

I use the 109 and buff it into my skin. Then I use the 187 to go over it one more time to give me a more flawless look. If I'm in a rush, I just use the 109. HTH!!!

Thanks! I'll give this a try. I'm sporting a nasty breakout right now, which is sad because I'm going on vacation tomorrow. But at least I'll be prepared, foundation-wise.

^^ Girl, I break out all the time. I have very acne-prone skin. This foundation hasn't broke me out and it covers really well. I also worked out with this foundation on too and it held up pretty well!

I really like MUFE foundations - I'm currently using their Mat Velvet + Foundation and its great! However you do need a good primer under it.
I want to try and switch over to MUFE's face and body foundation - I"m not sure if its good for oily skin though.. But i'm definately dying to try it! And also their Super Matte Powder!!

I have their Face and Body foundation too. It's great but it doesn't have as much coverage as the mat velvet. I have oily skin and I apply the face and body then use MAC blot powder or transparent powder over it. Get a sample from sephora and test it out.

Do you use this method with all foundations?
Do you stiple or swirl with the 187?

Thanks!

I bought the hd foundation when I went to the boutique a few weeks ago. I really like it. It's an exact match to my skin. I can either use this for light coverage days, or go full on with my hd foundation. It doesn't erase the bags under my eyes, but it looks much less severe. So much so that I am considering contact lenses!
It's very creamy and I love the click pen style and rubber applicator. You can't waste too much product with this baby. This is the first concealer I won't be returning.

Yeah, I use this method for all the foundations I use. I stipple the foundation on with the 109 then I buff it in with the 109. After that, I use the 187 in swirling motion to blend it more. You can also just stipple on the foundation with the 187 and then do swirls to buff it into your skin. Either way...but I love the 109 for foundation. It gives such great coverage!

Oops. in my post above I said I bought the hd foundation a few weeks ago. I meant the concealer.

Thank you, that sounds like nice method for a flawless, airbrushes look!
I will try that once I get my hands on a duofibre brush!

In case you don't follow their blogs: Pursebuzz & Temptalia have teamed up for 30 days of MUFE, which means swatches and looks containing MUFE products on their blogs. Some of the swatches are in the MUFE swatch section now. I think I am lemming 168, 80, 310. Hope she doesn't post many more swatches, or I might start collecting MUFE eyeshadows.

Which would be bad because retailers for MUFE products are pretty much non existend in my country...

have anyone tried their creamy pan stick foundation? i'm planning to get it. i'm nc 30-35 what shade am i.

to anyone who told me to go ahead and try the Mat Velvet:
THANK YOU!
omg im in love with it!!!!!

the ultimate test was to wear it to work, Starbucks, where i get hot very easily from constant movement and being faced with tons of steam and coffee, and it stayed on! it also didn't crease around my eye area, which was also a major area of concern. i was hardly oily, and any touch up i had to do was minor. all i needed was one and i was ready for the rest of the day.

also, in my opinion, its coverage is a lot better than the HD foundation. someone told me a little bit of it goes a long way, which is true. sometimes it took 4 applications of the HD foundation to the same spot to cover up dark patches.

i still love the HD foundation because it looks so natural and shows up great in photos. with the Mat Velvet, it goes on nice and smooth and it's not a heavy look, but you could tell i'm wearing makeup, whereas with the HD it just looked like my skin was flawless~

but if you work two jobs giving you longer days (one of them dealing with food/drink and the other at a time when you're dead-ass tired) and you live in Florida (or a place with similar weather), i HIGHLY recommend the Mat Velvet!!

Can you ladies help me out, please? I loooove my hd foundation b/c I need very little coverage, it's light and flawless. However, I want to try out the mat velvet. First of all, do you think it's suitable for a chick like me with skin as dry as a tumbleweed? Also, can you guess the shade I would need? The chicks in sephora are off sometimes. I wear 173 in HD. Thanks for any help.

well, it doesn't dry your skin out or anything. it goes on smooth and dries quickly (but not like a clay mask or anything, it's just not like the HD where you might have to wait for it to dry/set). and i think if you moisturized and wore a primer first you should be fine. but then again, i don't know anything about skin, so i couldn't say for sure.

the shade finder on MUFE's page on sephora.com skips over 173's Mat Velvet equivalent, but 65 is before it and 75 is after it, so i would assume that maybe you're a 70? lol, idk. but i would recommend you go in and swatch if you can and if they have your color because i guess it can vary from person to person.

hope that helped

That's definitely helpful. Thank you.

I have a friend who has dry skin and her skin didn't react very well to mat velvet. I suggest getting samples first and see how it goes for you.
