Re: MUFE High Def Foundation!
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.
