Make Up For Ever (MUFE) Discussion

[Ode to Joy]

From what I have read the HD foundation is not as matte as their mat (obv) and f&b foundation, so the different finish people want to get might be a reason why there is so much talk about f&b now. If you look at all the MUFE foundations listed in the MUA review section, f&b is the one with the highest rating... it might not be the user - friendliest though, the consistency seems to be a bit tricky to work with. It gives a sheer, "not wearing any foundation" look. You can build up layers on spots where you need more coverage without looking like you put on more foundation there. This is just from what I have read, though, I have yet to try if it lives up to the hype!

You can read the previous pages too, I talked a lot about it

Is F&B more preferred than HD? I see quite a lot of people posting about it... THANKS LADIES~~

It's really up to you. I've tried all three. I prefer Mat Velvet over the other two. F&B is very light coverage. HD is medium to full coverage. It depends on what you like. You should get samples of each and test it out.

As for shades, I'm NC30 and golden olive in EDM. I use HD 123. 123 is for olive undertones, 120 is for yellow undertones, and I think 127 is for pink undertones (please correct me if I'm wrong). I use 32 in F&B but I think I could easily use 34 in F&B also since it's summer.

Hey, where's all the MUFE lovers? We let our thread die. lol
I ordered face and body and I should be getting it tomorrow from sephora. i played with it in NY last week and I remembered that I actually did like it back in the day when I originally tried it. I can't wait to wear it, but I will not give up on my HD. Also, my first shadow palette only has one empty space left, so I'll need to go buy a new one soon.

I have a question! A beauty guru on youtube (kandeejohnson) used some MUFE highlighters in one of her recent videos.. the thing is she didn't list the name of the products, and i've been looking everywhere but can't find them.

I know they were from MUFE and they looked like lip glosses.. I think she said they were called diamond juice? there were three of them (pink, white, bronze) and she applied them to her cheeks to brighten them.

anyone know what they might be called?

I think you might be talking about diamond cream? If so, then those things are gorgeous. They come in a tube and they are highlighters. I have the bronze one. Sephora used to sell it, but not anymore. The boutique still has it, so you can call and order it. Maybe you'll be able to find it somewhere else online. Also, you can go to the official mufe site to see them and make sure it's what you're talking about. You can't order from there, unfortunately.

yes! thank you! although that sucks about sephora not carrying them anymore

I'll have to try the boutique.. maybe eBay?

just googled it.. apparently they were released around 2005.. Sears Canada has the pink one for sale? too bad i'm not in Canada heh.

I'll try looking around and see if I can find any - thanks again!!

Alright. The long awaited Elixir Review.

I did a full face on my mom, and applied Elixir as the first step (her skin was clean). It is part glycerin, and you can definitely tell - it holds that type of milky constancy. It looks thick, and it applies in a very thin layer and absorbs quickly and dries quickly. I used it around her eyes as well, since MUFE suggests that it will tone down puffiness. I let it dry for about 3 minutes, and then I put the MUFE HD Primer in Neutral (the white one) on her skin. I immediately noticed once the elixir dried that her skin looked and felt much more moisturized, and much softer. She has some dry spots around her nose and those were pretty much gone. Her skin had a natural luminance to it which I was impressed with. I let the HD primer dry and then applied the HD foundation. My mom has always had an issue with foundation not gliding over her skin nicely, since shes older and her skin is very normal, sometimes she finds it hard for foundations to glide and blend nicely - but that elixir prepped the skin in a way that was just a dream to apply foundation on top of. I had no issues blending and moving the foundation, and it didn't tug at her skin as much as it does sans Elixir. Instead of using concealer over her dry spots, wrinkles, etc, I didn't have too. Her skin was in good enough shape before foundation that I didn't need to conceal a bunch of stuff after foundation. I was impressed. I also used the Line filler from MAC mixed with some Matte gel in her surface wrinkles before foundation.

The foundation set in, and as HD tends to, gave her a great natural glowing complexion. When I was done her face she commented on how glowly her skin was, usually her skin looks dull, even with a good foundation.

She said it felt cool and moisturizing, and felt mikly while it was going on, but very refreshing, and she said her skin felt smoother and softer after it had dried.

Over all, I'm giving this two big thumbs up.

BUT that being said, for someone like me (oily skin) I wouldn't at all recommend this. I will only be using this on clients. As wonderful as it is, my skin doesn't need that type of moisture boost.

Also, I mixed the Elixir with the full coverage MUFE concealer before I applied it under her eyes, and it made it very moisturizing and smooth.

 

[shontay07108]

Awesome. I'm glad your mother liked it. It does the same things for me as far as helping with the puffy under eyes and dry patches. I have eczema, so I really need help with my dry skin. And no, people with oily skin really don't need this product because you'll become an oily mess.

 

[shontay07108]

Just want to let you ladies know that mufe hd concealer is now available at sephora! I seriously urge you to check it out, especially if you love the foundation. It's a dream.

Another update: Sephora now has the empty shadow palettes!!! $20 for one palette that holds 10 shadows.

I just got the MUFE Aqua Eyes liner in Mat Black 0L and I SO LOVE this. This is the best pencil ever. I already had pencil liner on and so when I got home I opened this and tried it just on one eye on the upper lid. It is amazing the difference. That eye looks so much brighter and bigger.

My question is do I need to get the MUFE sharpener or will my MAC one do fine?

Since I like this so much I looked on the Sephora site and I'm thinking about getting the Black Purple 6L aqua liner. Does anyone have this and is it a nice deep purple?

Thanks for your help!

 

[shadowaddict]

^^Anyone??

 

[mslips]

Hey Shadow Addict, I def suggest you get the purple one, it is gorgeous!

MUFE rules!

 

[shadowaddict]

Thanks, I will. I love purple and the black purple sounds so pretty.

for those of you guys in Canada, have you heard that Sears won't be carying MUFE? This is what I was told yesterday when I was there to get some MUFE fix. They still had some stuff, but they were selling them in teh Lancome counter, so no more MUFE counter. The lady who was helping me said this was true for all of Canada

I'm not happy coz I liked buying MUFE from Sears, cheaper than getting it from Sephora

 

[Willa]

I will ask this to my friend, my counter is at the Bay but we have a lot of counters here in Quebec, and some are at Sears, and btw I never liked the service there. It's like they don't know the product so well, and they dont carry everything. I might go to check out if it's on sale..

 

[blindpassion]

Make Up For Ever and Sears have decided to not resign their contract together.

Make Up For Ever will no longer be sold in Sears stores.

It was out of BC sears stores as of last month.

Hey everybody! I was wondering if you could help me out. I just got my Mat Velvet (in the color alabaster) in the mail yesterday, so I haven't had much time to play with it, but I'm having application issues. I used my 109 to apply it and I'm not getting the coverage that I expected. Should I try the 190 or 187? Any tips?

Do you need a primer with this foundation? I haven't tried it with a primer yet, mostly because I haven't found a primer I like. I have ridiculously pale skin and lots of red acne marks that are in the process of healing so I ordered the MUFE HD primer in #5 (blue) and that should be here on Monday. Maybe that'll help as far as coverage concerns.
Thanks in advance!

I just want the ability to buy pans in Canada online than the full shadow/casing.

Oh how my attitudes have changed, I blame Adina!! LOL my fave is the 74 Antique Pink for more of a regular daytime look, and the 58 is RIGHT behind! Love the bright raspberry pink!

I would love to get the 10 pan palette and fill it!!!

My only complaint is I can never remember the #s I have (except I can always remember 58 and 92).
