I use the 109 and buff the foundation in. Then I use the 187 to smooth it over. If you don't get enough coverage, just add another thin layer of foundation OR put MAC MSFN over the foundation. I recommend the green HD primer for redness cause that is what I use and it works well. I haven't had any experiences with the blue so hopefully you can review that for us! I don't like the 190 for this foundation. The 187 is gonna give you a more sheer coverage. The 109 is great! I also like the 180 for foundation too. I have a lot of acne scaring and redness so I need a lot of coverage. Just try buffing it in with the 109 again but do it by small areas. Hope this helped!

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! |

Oh noes, I ordered the HD Foundation last week from Sephora but now after finding this thread I am worried I ordered too dark.
Right now for summer I am using Studio Sculpt NC42 and Studio Tint Medium Dark.... I had ordered the HD Foundation in #173! Now I am worried this is going to be way too dark!
I am super tanned right now though but eeek is this shade geared towards African American women? Now I am worried I should have gotten in the 155 range.

Thank you! The primer made a world of difference! My foundation applied much smoother and covered more. I'm ridiculously pale, so I was afraid the green might make me look like an alien. The blue is geared more towards pale people with imperfections, and I really like it. It kind of blurs my redness and illuminates my face, which is a nice balance with the mattyness of the mat velvet. It's too soon to review the products right now, but after a few weeks of usage I totally will.

well my #173 arrived and I am actually surprised with it.. maybe I didn't realize how tanned I had gotten this year.
Although it definitely is too dark it's actually not too bad. If I wasn't so picky it might even kind of pass.
Oh well, have to return it to Sephora next chance I get. I try everything in my power to avoid that store though, that's why I order online whenever possible.
Too bad, sure took the excitement out of waiting for that order.

So i bought my first MUFE eyeshadow i think #93-its green color. i have mixed feelings. as i was applying it this morning, it didnt go on as bright and true as i thought it would, and it looks a little chalky, does that make sense?
u know when u use chalk and most if it just dusts all over the place, well, thats what happened with this eyeshadow. Is there a better way to use this, maybe wet? does anyone else have this problem?

Imagine my surprise when I dropped by sephora this evening and eyed the MUFE HD Elixer. It was supposed to be an online exclusive according to sephora online. So, if any of you ladies need a new bottle or are dying to try this bad boy out, stop by your local sephora (or call) and see if they have it.

I just discovered their HD foundation and it is OMG wonderful. I cannot believe how flawless the finish is. It's pricey, but I really think it's worthwhile. I would use it exclusively because it looks so good, but then how will I do that 'special' look. LOL Seriously,it's a wonderful product. paired with the HD powder it's great for photography. And I'm a photographer. Love it!

Guys, you need to try the new HD concealers
It's a bliss!
They look invisible once applied, a little thicker than the lift concealers
I don't know if it's the same in any counter, but the whole #330 batch was sent back because they had troubles with it (product separating).
#325 refer to #2 in lift concealer
#335 refer to #3 in lift concealer
It's a bit expensive, but all worth it

It's divine when used on scars. I have a few blemishes on the right side of my face from awful mac foundations. This concealer practically makes them invisible. It's so creamy and color exact. This plus face and body and the hd powder is perfection. It won't work miracles on undereye circles, but it softens it up a bit. I wear glasses, so i don't worry about my bags. LOL

Dust loose powder before the flash colours. I have oily lids too and this keeps creamy products from creasing all day.
