Make Up For Ever Hd Makeup on WOC

Re: Make Up For Ever Hd Makeup

I got a sample of MUFE's HD foundation in 170 at Sephora recently. I think 170 is the closest match but it might be just slightly too dark. I use MAC foundations in NC44, Moistureblend, Select Tint and also use MUFE's Face and Body #6. So far I like the feel of this foundation, gives me a satin, almost semi-matte finish. Coverage is buildable, lightweight to medium coverage.

153 Golden Honey

Item # 1097039 and its a perfect match...

I somehow got matched to 127 (I'm an NC40) and it's a little light...I think I might actually be 128 or 140.

On me, HD is super super super heavy. Like, I can actually feel it, like a mask. It's really good for when I'm performing under heavy lights, or when I know there are going to be a lot of cameras around, but it's really not an everyday foundation for me. Most of the time I stick to MUFE F&B.

I was wondering about the coverage of the HD foundation. I want sheer, light coverage. I think I am allergic to MAC foundations, so I was considering the HD, but I can't have a heavy mask like thing on my face. Is Face and Body lighter? If I'm an NC50 in MAC what would I be in the HD and the F&B? Anyone know? I did check out that blog with the swatches, but I'm still unsure. 175 maybe?

on my skin it looked it heavy..the MUA did half face mufe HD and half face smash box HD ..and smashbox looked more natural and really light weight. ..mufe felt good on the face...but w/ both on ..I say smashbox was the winner...and it seems less harsh for some reason.

Re: Make Up For Ever Hd Makeup

I swatched myself at sephora and it looked like 175 was perfect for me. I asked for samples of 177 and 175 to take home cause the MUA recommended that I do a half face with each and take some pics.

I'm not sure what happened between last night and this morning, but I put 175 on and although it looked great in the lighting in my bedroom when I went into the bathroom and attempted to take some pics around the house and in natural light it looked like a mask. Not good. Back to the old drawing board I guess...

I used the stippling brush and started out using very little because I wasn't sure of the coverage. I didn't need much, and it was surprisingly light. Lighter than SFF I think.

Are you using a brush or a sponge like the beauty blender to apply the HD? I haven't used the HD yet but I'm hoping to get to my local Sephora next week for a match.

I just tried Smashbox Wednesday at Ulta. I really liked it. I was surprised. It was invisible on the skin. I didn't look like I was wearing foundation. It felt like nothing on the skin as well and the color match was better than I have found with MAC. It also had good coverage. It didn't oxidize and wore well for the few hours I had it on. I was very impressed. I used the Camera Ready Full Coverage in D1.

I recently have been using the MUFE HD powder. It really sets my makeup and keeps the oil away. My face really looks flawless when it's applied.

I did notice a bronzish look to my forehead after wearing it for a few hours. Now I didn't have a primer or anything underneath, just moisturizer and the foundation applied with the 187, very light application. I'm guessing a primer will keep the oil away and will fix the bronzing, but I personally think that for $40 this foundation should look almost as good at the end of the day as it does in the beginning w/o all the "extras" u know?

Anyhoo, I'm gonna give it another shot. It's a good thing I can sample them and even better that there are about a million Sephoras in the city I can get samples from.
