Make Up For Ever (MUFE) Discussion

[Paramnesia]

I have a few MUFE samples which i'll try to swatch for you all soon.

I found the mat velvet+'s lightest shade to be the best match for me but i have dry skin so i'm a little concerned about that. I have 2 samples of mat velvet+, hd and f&b the hd and f&b ones are way to dark for me.

Did they close the Sears MUFE counter in Victoria, BC yet? Does anyone know if there is anywhere else to buy MUFE in Victoria? Thanks

My Duo Mat in shade 205 seems to be a lil dark now as I've completely lost my tan

I need to get either the 203 or just switch to F&B

I need help, ladies! I recently got my 1st MUFE eyeshadow after being seduced by Mat Velvet & Full Coverage Concealer a few months ago. I got #17 Espresso (matte chocolate brown). I'm NW50/Mat Velvet 80 by the way. How should I use this? I wanted a neutral eye look so I planned to just use it as one wash of color across the eyelid,but it ended up making me look dirty instead!

Hey everyone,
I'm an NW20 in mac foundation and i'm really interested in trying the MUFE HD foundation. Anyone know what a good color match would be?

 

[jeitzen]

I love their foundation, the HD stuff. It's $40 and I don't use it that much but I think the texture/quality/packaging is great! I haven't tried the eyeshadows/pigment stuff, but I want to!

Which shade is NC 25 in MUFE?? Thank you

 

[Tavia]

I really like the All Mat Face Matifying Primer which is great for oily skin. I've been using it for 2 months already, together with the HD foundation and I'm more than pleased with it. It really keeps my oil under control. You can read my review HERE. I didn't tried their eyeshadows but I love some of the matte colors.

It depends on which foundation it is. Which one did you mean?

Girls!

I asked singer Jessie James which foundation does she use, and she said Make up Forever! I'm assuming it's the HD one cause she talked about it before too! I was thinking of trying but I can't find a store online that ships to Portugal, here in Portugal that foundation costs too damn much!

did you try QVc?

I have been using the HD or over a year, but it doesn't seem as flattering on my skin as it used to be. I think I will either try the matte velvet or move over to Dior nude. Any opinions??

 

[shontay07108]

Shonntew, maybe it's the time of the year? I know I had to switch over to face & body during the summer because the HD wasn't too great on my then. I think maybe I had a slight tan or my skin was drier than usual. Now, though, it's great again.

Hey, if you do decide to try the Dior nude, please let me know what shade you get. I think we're about the same skintone. I'm still very happy with my HD and I also use F&B in occasion though I agree that F&B is best during summer. I wear HD is 118 and F&B in #32

There have been a couple of queries in this thread about Mat Velvet shades, so I thought I'd post a couple of swatches (if it's OK to post these in this thread? Please feel free to move if not). Sorry about the lighting - it's dark and snowing here!

From left to right:
MAC Studio Fix Fluid in shades NC25, NC30, & NC35, MUFE Mat Velvet in shades #35 (Vanilla), and #40 (Natural Beige).
(Top and bottom photos are of the same swatches).

I am normally a shade NC30 in MAC. I have found that I am basically in between shades #35 and #40 in Mat Velvet. Both look good on me, although I am wearing #40 right now because I'm a little lighter. #35 is more of a peachy/beige colour. #40 is slightly lighter than shade #35 (counterintuitive, I know!) and has more yellow undertones. Due to the yellowness, it's probably closest to to the MAC "NC" family of shades. It's probably the closest to the MAC NC30 shade.

I also had Mat Velvet in Shade #30 (Porcelain), although I returned it before I took this photo - it's a lot lighter than shades #35 and #40. It was a lot peachier and less yellow than MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC25, so not really a comparable shade.

Anyways, I hope that this is helpful for someone! I also found that reading the shade descriptions on Sephora helped in choosing shades, as MUFE's colour system seems a little weird, but the Sephora descriptions seem accurate so far to me.

Ladies, major major major news. I went to the MUFE NYC boutique today and I got to play with a collection that the MA said will be released next month. It is beyond gorgeous. It has four pigments, one glitter and 2 liner pencils. The colors are various shades of stunning gold.

The two most stunning pigments were one pure gold and one greenish gold. Of course, MUFE goes by numbers and not names, so I can only describe the shades. One liner pencil is solid, bright, true gold and the other is dark green with gold laced through it. The gold in it really pops. It is beyond amazing, the texture is so smooth and you only need a pinch for high intensity color.

I was so bummed b/c I thought it was available for purchase, but it was just a teaser. I really hope this pops up at Sephora, but if it doesn't I will be back at that boutique next month.

I guess this is the collection you are talking about

Make Up For Ever Bronze Makeup Collection for Spring 2010 | Chic Profile

I used to use MAC's Studio Fix Fluid and I liked it but I find that it can feel a bit heavy. However, I love MUFE's Mat Velvet Plus... I have combination oily skin and I find that it looks very natural on... But it looks a bit light on my skin in photos. Does anyone know if this contains SPF?

Any idea if this will end up at Sephora?
