WOC: Make Up For Ever (MUFE) discussion

[MAC_Whore]

Re: Woc Mufe

I recently read, though can't for life of me remember where, that Alek Wek mixes MAC's Select Tint in the darkest shade (that would be NW45) with MUFE foundation. I dont' recall if she mentioned what shade of MUFE though. I imagine that would be a great combo. A bit of colour, SPF and moisture from the MAC Select Tint, as well as the pigmentation from the MUFE.

Also, for those who are interested in giving it a shot, the MUFE HD Foundation is now available in a range of darker colours. Let me know what you think if you try it out.

That would be me. Took me about two days to figure out what WOC meant and another day to figure out what Mufe meat. I got it now though! Wealth of information on these boards!

I know, LOL. If read out loud, it sounds like Klingon.

Any new discoveries ladies and gents?

 

[SoSoSteph]

i just purchased the Makeup Forever Face & Body Foundation and I love it.

Just for reference I am #44.

MAC NC/50.

 

[DILLIGAF]

I am a fan!!!! It all started with the imfamous #92 and went from there. I have mainly their eyeshadows though their HD foundation has been whispering my name lately. When I need a MUFE fix I go to the Sephora in South Beach. They carry the extended MUFE line unlike the Sephora at Aventura Mall.



Currently own
#92
#83
#309 (diamond shadow)
#168
#58
#167
#72


Difficult to explain the colors but the pigmentation is AMAZING!!!! My sister was visiting here last week and saw me rocking #92. She then dragged me to a Sephora to pick one up!!!

I recently purchased Mat Velvet + in #70 and I love it. My MAC foundations have gone unloved and unused since I found this.

HD Elixer is my new crack for real. I used it for 2 days and I forced myself to stop using it until I have a back up bottle on the way from Sephora. This stuff is so awesome. My skin was softer and more hydrated than I can ever remember. I'll be ordering my backup bottle in 2 weeks.

Normally my skin is pretty oily but I have been using Retin A which has made my skin more dry in places.

i love MUFE and i need to holla at some of those eyeshadows and blushes, but MAC collections are mostly on the up this year and when it comes down to it, i'm going for mac.

i digress.

i have worn their HD foundation since December and it's the best thing that's ever happened to my face, lol. however, my skin gets oily after like an hour of having on makeup (it doesn't matter who it's by).
because of this, i thought about getting their Matte Velvet foundation, but when i saw it in the store, it is waaaaaay too small for me. i wear makeup twice a day because i work two jobs. one bottle of the HD lasts 2-3 months and the Matte Velvet looks like i'll finish it in 3 weeks.

anyways, what i'm trying to ask is which foundation would you recommend that will give me great, natural looking coverage, leave me with a little less shine, and will last about as long as the HD?

thanks in advance

 

[macgirl3121]

They both are the same size , 1.01 oz, and you don't need to use a lot at all. Really, give Mat Velvet + a shot.

right after i posted that, i thought, "maybe i should check the product weight first..." lol.

but yeah, i think i will. if it DOES end up running out quicker, ah well. as long as it works out better.

thanks

I recently bought Mat Velvet in #60 and it's completely amazing! I was initially worried because I have really oily skin and it's expensive. I was using SFF anyways which is the same size and only a couple bucks less. The foundation is super pigmented and a little goes a long way. This stuff is great and I highly recommend it!

check out out this post from Every Day Roco she pretty much tells you everything i would have about ben nye.

and mufe can be bought at sephora or online at the mufe website.

Just FYI, if you really use a ton of foundation the MUFE boutique in NYC sells most (if not all) of their foundations in 1 liter bottles. It would probably save you a ton of money. You should call the store and inquire! The number is somewhere on their main website.

But I seriously feel you, MUFE foundations have changed my life. Sometimes i mix HD and F&B for a glossy, medium-full coverage affect. i also received a sample of the primer #6 (the yellow-beige one) and sometimes mix it with Mat Velvet to eliminate some of the redness (I wear #44). One way or the other, MUFE is the best!!!!!

you are asking for so much trouble by informing me of ONE LITER foundation bottles!!! lol i think i just might look into that... eventually.

well, since posting that i bought the Mat Velvet (i wrote a gushing review of it in another MUFE post yesterday) and i think it's so much better for those that have oily skin and probably need more coverage.

but omg i don't know how you people do it, knowing what to mix with what and what tones down what and what enhances what. the guy at sephora was trying to explain how to use the concealer palette but all he got back was

The matte velvet foundation does come in a really small bottle but it is super pigmented so a little bit goes a long way. I have been wearing it for years and one bottle will last me for 5-6 months. It sounds perfect for what you are looking for... I would at least try a sample of it.

I struggle now though... you see I adore the new HD foundation so much that I have been cheating on matte velvet... I feel so guilty because matte velvet is my true love... but the HD just rocks my world

Welcome to the darkside.

I've been pushing hd on everyone who will listen. I will use this and only this until I die. I love mufe for not irritating my sensitive skin. I'm not always into shadows, but I have several of them and they are out of this world.
The sculpting powder is amazing, also.

I messed up my brows something awful the last time I tweezed and this stuff is amazing. You only need the absolute tiniest drop and it truly is waterproof. I will always use this even when my brows grow back.

i went to sephora over the weekend and tried #65 in matte velvet mufe foundation and its really nice. i thought #60 was a match from looking on the sephora website but surely testing them in person is best. i cant wait to pick this up!!! it really helped my t-zone. i also got a sample of the mufe clear primer and its love also.

I am 178 in HD what shade would I be in MV?
