I compared the MUFE HD 117 to my Studio Fix NW20 and although the shades do look sorta similar, there is something less fake looking about the MUFE shade. It doesn't seem as heavy on my skin than Studio Fix. It seems a little thinner to me. Maybe that's just me, but just my 2 cents Not to sound like a total ninny, but since I also got the HD powder, I was wondering, should I wait until I apply my foundation and the rest of my face makeup (MSFs, cheek colors, bronzer, etc.) before I do a light dusting of this? Should I spray Fix+ on my skin to set my makeup after I apply the powder? I know, questions, questions!

Its so weird you'd ask that, tonight when I put it on I was experimenting with different ways of applying it -
heres the two Ive found to work the best.

apply the liquid foundation - I use the 109 brush, best brush ever! but 187 works too.
then spray fix +,
then take a big fluffy brush (150 or 136) and swirl it in the cap of the HD powder
then dust it on your face, then blush, contour, highlight, etc.
but if you're using a mineralized blush you can apply fix + right after blush and powder, mineralized blush really stands out after fix +.

So, to simplify haha.
I either do one of these three -

foundation
fix +
powder
blush
highlight

-

foundation
powder
fix +
blush
highlight

-

foundation
powder
blush
fix+
highlight

Just play around with it and see what you like best.
I really liked the look of the fix + before powder, it gave a great dewy look after I applied the powder

Re: MUFE High Def Foundation!

I ordered the MUFE Mat Velvet with the FF sale at sephora and am patiently waiting for it to arrive!!!

I currently have the MAC Satinfinish but find that my face after like 2 hrs looks just shiny but in a bad way not in a dewy flawless way, probably bc 1) houston is humid like an armpit and 2) i have combo/oily skin.

When my new foundation does arrive, do I need a primer? or can i just apply and set with powder? if I need a primer, what kind do I need? I've never use face primer before!

Re: MUFE High Def Foundation!

I usually apply the HD powder right after the foundation to set it. The HD powder helps the other products that follow (blush, highlighter, bronzer,etc) go on a lot smoother.

Id suggest one, I find it helps the foundation go on much better.

I use the green mufe HD primer and MAC Matte to smooth out my skin.

Although Im a big fan of those primers, there are lots of good ones
Mac has a great one, Smashbox has a great one (very popular), MUFE has quite a few good HD ones

Still thinking about the right foundation.

Is N15 the lightest mat velvet+ shade and would it work for ~nw15?

Re: MUFE High Def Foundation!

I use 15 and it's a bit light and I'm NC15.

I'm NC50/NW45 and I sampled 178 and 180 in the HD foundation. Alone the 178 matches me to a "T", so I ended up buying that shade. But I think in the summer when my skin gets a little darker, I will need to mix a tiny bit of the 180 with my 178.

Re: MUFE High Def Foundation!

I ended up going to Sephora 2 weeks ago and picked up a sample (only after my devilish dog ruined my NW55 Studio Fix Stick) in 185 and it's amazing. I'd never worn liquid foundation before and it was so easy and blended right in to my skin...so flawless!! I'm def. going to get a full size this week!!

Re: MUFE High Def Foundation!

I got 2 samples of the foundation (they wouldn't let me sample the powder because it's powder/jar/whatever, pfft)

I'm NC45 in MAC and the SA swatched MUFE #155 on me, I thought that looked light on me but indoor lighting made it look like a perfect match. So I picked a color I assumed from the beginning that I was, #173, just in case and it was a perfect match in natural lighting/photographs.

So... NC45 = #173
I am a paler during the winter which makes me an NC44 as well.

I find it good but not great stuff. I still haven't used it on a daily basis and mostly go for my Revlon Colorstay Concealer anyways.

Yup same here. I love this foundation! <3

Re: MUFE High Def Foundation!

does anybody here use shade #123. If so, what shade are you in MAC's foundations?

I'm NC30-35. I've already tried 127, 128, 140, 153. I was hoping #123 would be the one for me.

Re: MUFE High Def Foundation!

I'd love to try this but MUFE is only available via mail order here in the UK. I wanna try before I buy though

They have a store in London at 6 Goldhawk Mews, London W12 1PA. Telephone 020 8740 6788. I had a look at there website awhile ago to check if they had a shop over here. I think they used to be in South Molton St. However, I've posted this link so you can have a look.

Stores and resellers MAKE UP FOR EVER PROFESSIONAL over the world

Re: MUFE High Def Foundation!

I have been using this a lot lately.

I prime with MUFE HE Primer in Green. I am an NW20-23, so I mix MUFE HD foundation in 118 Flesh with 115 Ivory and loveit. I apply it at the center of my face with the MAC #189 brush and then work it out towards the edges with a MAC #129.

Then I tap a bit of MAC MSF Natural in Light Med over my cheeks (for extra coverage) and blend/buff in MUFE HD over the rest of the face.

Good stuff.

I wanna know what shade to get (I'm MAC NC40)... So what is it that makes this foundation good for HD purposes? i.e. ingredients?

Try the Sephora MUFE Foundation Finder at Sephora: Beauty, Skin Care, Makeup, Hair, & Fragrance and select "Makeup Forever" under brands. Their foundation selecter actually has pictures of women wearing each shade.

I am a MAC NC25 and wear MUFE HD 120.

Hope this helps.

I am NC25 and I wear MUFE HD 120. Good luck!!

I definitely agree with that! I set mine with MUFE HD Powder, and this foundation has survived South India during Monsoon Season!
