MUFE High Definition Foundation Discussion - Page 18

I use the MAC DARK Mineralizer with the #173...but I will try what you are suggesting with the inivisible powder and see what happens.  Have you ever tried mixing 173 and 177?

If you're in-between shades, try mixing one of them with a colored primer to add or detract warmth or cool tones. If you're between 173 and 177 try using the pink or yellow primer to find the best match. You can also try this with the other color correctors. Blue is going to make it lighter and brighter whereas yellow is going to make it darker and more yellow. If you need a combo of blue and yellow use the green primer.

You can also use the HD Elixir to thin out the foundation, making it more of a tinted moisturizer.

 I was going to buy HD foundation for me ,but the mufe counter at Sephora didn't have tester for 117.I tried 115 and it looked good on me .But I didn't buy it because I know 115 has pink undertones and I have yellow undertones.

I want to try this in 110 so bad!!

i bought 177...initially it was ok...but when hours pass by..it made my face darker...i have a yellow undertone...any solutions for it?

I own 173, but like the previous poster I'm b/w 173 and 177. (I feel like I'm always b/w foundation shades.) 173 is a little too olive for me past the checks and around the chin, but 177 is a little dark for the brighter parts of my face. When you say mix it with a primer would I have to swirl the primer into the product or would applying the primer then the foundation have the same effect? I realize I could just purchase the 177, but a) I'll likely lose some color soon with summer coming to an end; b) this foundation is pricey and I don't use it daily; and c) for me mixing colors is a pain in the butt. I'll end up wasting product and never duplicate the right color consistently - especially rushing in the morning before work.

I'm a makeup minimalist.

I've used this on and off while trying out different foundations and I keep coming back to this. I use #123 and the yellow undertones in it match my skin very well. I do get shiny after a few hours, but that's expected. Even though the consistency of this foundation is thin, it covers well and can be layered for more coverage without feeling heavy or cakey. I always set this foundation with a loose powder by patting it then brushing off the excess. I've brushed powder to set it in the past and to me it seemed like it moved the foundation for me. Totally worth it especially with the IMATS discount I got.

For reference, I am NC30, 205 in MUFE Duo Mat, #30 in Cargo Blu Ray powder and Medium Beige in NYX's Stay Matte, But Not Flat powder foundation.

Thank you, rabideloise. I went ahead and ordered 177 to see if it works. If not I'll return it and order a primer instead. I noticed I've gotten much more color this summer than I usually get which is strange b/c I've been using an SPF daily in my moisturizer which is new for me. I tan so easily though and it lasts for a really long time. It must have been from one good day out in the sun.

I'm not sure there's a MUFE HD foundation color for me. I am fair and **neutral** - i am really between pink and yellow / cool and warm.

To test foundations, I take home samples from sephora because the lighting in there sucks so bad that testing in the shop only isn't good enough to tell how they really look on me.

It took me almost 2 years of testing nearly every foundation sephora carried to find one i liked and that wasn't too pink or too yellow. And now sephora doesn't carry it anymore, even on-line  So i took home samples of 117, 118, and 120. 117 was too yellow, 118 too dark, and, needless to say, 120 was way too dark.

The lighter shades are all described as leaning pink, which i don't. And i am not going to buy two foundations to blend them, it's just too expensive for me. However, i already have MUFE HD Color Correcting Primer in 2 (mauve), so i'll test rabideloise's recommendation and mix it with the 117 to see if that helps. Thanks for the great idea!

I love my MUFE 120 color, I noticed that my face looks amazing on photos, too. 

just started using this foundation and wasn't too sure about it, until i purchased the MAC 187 brush...now i LOVE this foundation. it looks so gorgeous and flawless!

Wow! I forgot all about this! Still haven't tried it yet, but now that i'm reminded...

I use MUFE HD powder with a loose powder with my loos powder and I get a perfect look.

So is 175 a new shade?
