Make Up For Ever (MUFE) Discussion

[shontay07108]

Ladies, it's finally here and I'm SO excited: MUFE Aqua Cream shadow/liner!!! They come in every color under the sun. I wasn't expecting them until summer, but I saw them when I went to the boutique today. I bought 3: navy blue, green and a shimmery gunmetal shade. They run by numbers, of course. These are just like the aqua black shadow liner carried by Sephora, but like I said before, they are in an array of colors. Can't wait to collect more.

Re: MUFE HD Primer

I had a problem finding the right shade in their HD foundation so one of the sales associates at Sephora suggested that i put a drop of the HD primer in blue to lighten up the shade i was thinking of going with. In MAC's Studio Fix Fluid Foundation SPF 15 i am NC37 and i've tried shades 127, 128, 140, 153, and 155 in MUFE's HD foundation individually and narrowed it down to 128 and 155. The 128 had too much of an olive beige (dark) color to it and the 155 was a little too yellowish beige (tan) for me. The 155 would be good if i was the summer time but i wanted something that i could wear now.
I use the blue primer under my HD foundation in 155 and the HD powder on top of it AND I LOVE IT!
The HD foundation doesn't sit well on my face or last as long without the primer and the HD powder is something that i use regardless of what foundation i'm using.
I chose to stick with the HD primer because i use their HD foundation.

Hope that helps.

Re: MUFE HD Primer

I heard from someone that primers help prevent foundations from oxidizing.
My foundation, after a year of using the same brand/colour, just started oxidizing suddenly -- no clue why. Methods of applying are the same, I've even switched to using a brush.

When someone suggested that I start using a primer to prevent this, I definitely see the difference -- I've only used Hourglass, but it doesn't change anymore.

The negative reviews on the MUFE HD Primer is disappointing. Would this be fine for someone not needing a ton of correction, or would I be better with the Hourglass or Smashbox Light?

^^ Do they bear any resemblance to the texture of fluidlines or chromalines?

Can anyone compare the HD primer to Smashbox Photo Finish primer? Which is better and why? Thanks!

I have a feeling our Sephora won't get these new MUFE goodies

and we don't have a MUFE counter here

I think Sephora will be getting these. After all, they did get the HD blushes

. The MUFE MA said she believed Sephora will eventually carry them, but it may take a couple of months.

Also, they NY boutique does take orders over the phone.

Re: MUFE HD Primer

I use 0 Neutral and after reading on what its supposed to do (adds natural luminosity to the complexion), it didn't do that at all. I might have to go look for a new primer to use. Maybe I need to go back to Smashbox's or try MAC's.

^"I heard from someone that primers help prevent foundations from oxidizing." I don't think that is true because my foundation oxidize even with primer on.

The shadow/liner is $22 and worth every penny. I wore the blue shade today and it's beyond amazing.

Sorry if I've asked this before --

Can I ask about the coverage of F&B? Is it truly buildable, to what extent?

The sample I got of the F&B #20 is nice, but the coverage seemed on par with tinted moisturizer -- unless I didn't notice, because the colour was so dark on me that I washed it off in frustration after 2 minutes. Didn't even apply to whole face, just chin area. Would have to order 36 or 38 online instead.

Bonus points for any comparing to Diorskin Nude!.

Sorry if this has been posted already. But I just checked and they have the Aqua Creamliners on the Sephora site. They do look pretty.

Sephora: MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Creamliner: Eyeliner

 

[tthelwell]

These are the Aqua Creamliners that have been available for a while now.

The new product is the Aqua Cream Eyeshadow which is not yet available at Sephora but you can get them at the MUFE store by calling in.

F&B is like a tinted moisturizer. It's comparable to Mac's Face and Body foundation. It's only slightly buildable. Adding more layers is really just adding more layers of product instead of creating better coverage. It gives a dewy, youthful look to the skin. I can't compare it to Dior b/c I've never tried that one.

Sorry bout that, I guess I miss read. So I saw on the Sephora site the Aqua Cream Eyeshadow in black. Will it be available in other colors there?

Hi girls,

does anyone knows if there is an online store that sells MUFE (and ships overseas)? I like very much my MUFE liners, but we don't have MUFE in Germany, so I need to wait to buy it when I go to France.

Thanks a lot!

 

[purrtykitty]

Does the NY MUFE Boutique carry more colors than what are listed online? Like with the Star Powders, there are only 26 or so listed. Does the store have more?

Listed on Sephora's site or MUFE's site?

The store carries the line as listed on the MUFE site, which has a lot more than the Sephora site. I really wish Sephora would carry the full line in their stores. Even the Sephora site seems to list more than what the average store has in stock.

I think this store ships to other countries in Europe, but I'm not sure. It might only be the UK.
Makeup artists provisions

Otherwise, I suggest you try the store locator on the MUFE international site and see if any of the stores, in a country near you, have websites listed.

But wait, couldn't you but MUFE from the French Sephora site? I hope they don't only ship to locations in France...

 

[s_lost]

Thanks, prettyinpurple! Unfortunately Sephora.fr only delivers for French territories

I've already take a look on the website, but no luck there... I'll check the UK site that you indicate me, thanks
