Make Up For Ever Matte Velvet Skin Blurring Powder Foundation

Make Up For Ever Matte Velvet Skin Blurring Powder Foundation

Last year, Make Up For Ever launched their Matte Velvet Skin Foundation. A product that checked off practically every one of my requirements for a foundation. Fast forward to the present day, where they’ve launched a powder form of the foundation, the Make Up For Ever Matte Velvet Skin Blurring Powder Foundation!

Available in 30 shades, the MUFE Powder Foundation is said to provide full coverage with a life-like matte finish.

Let me start off by saying that powder foundations are my least favourite type of product and here’s why. I have dry skin, blemishes and hyper-pigmentation. To me, powder foundations just sound like a major no-no for such skin types. As I’ve never been able to achieve the coverage I want, regardless of how many layers I go in with. It simply looks like a layer of powder sitting on my face.

That being said, since I did have a very pleasant experience with the MUFE Matte Velvet Liquid Foundation, I gave it a go!

I tried out the shades:

Y315
Y365

Encased in a tight snap closure palette, is the powder foundation and a sponge applicator.

The powder is silky to the touch and practically weightless on the skin. One application provides a sheer wash of colour. The MUFE sponge allows you to choose your coverage, one side is for a sheer application where the other provides full coverage.

I go in with a peach colour corrector for the areas that need a little more coverage. Then I like to apply just enough of the Make Up For Ever Matte Velvet Skin Powder Foundation in the shade Y365 to even out my skin.

I would say I get medium coverage with a satin finish. It’s not at all dry-looking as many other powder foundations! Plus the fact that it blurs pores is absolutely incredible!

In regards to wear time, I get about 8 hours of flawless coverage before the product starts to move and reveal some of my imperfections.

I have to say, I really enjoyed switching up a full face of heavy makeup for a more lightweight option, without compromising coverage. Especially in this heat!

Make Up For Ever Matte Velvet Skin Blurring Powder Foundation retails for $50 CAD and is available online and in store at Sephora and TheBay.com.

Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Self-Setting Concealer

Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Self-Setting Concealer

Make Up For Ever recently launched their Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Self- Setting Concealers! It’s always an exciting moment whenever MUFE adds to their Ultra HD line up! I tried out a few shades over the last few weeks and have finally sat down to write my thoughts.

Available in 22 shades, the new Ultra HD Self-Setting Concealer is best described as a medium to full, buildable coverage concealer, with a natural finish. Make Up For Ever’s official description states that it diffuses light and provides up to 12 hours of creaseless wear.

The Ultra HD self-setting concealer has a part fluid and cream consistency. This provides you with a bit of extra time to perfect the application of your concealer.

You’ve probably heard beauty addicts say that a product ‘blends like a dream’ countless times. However, there is no better way to describe the blend-ability of MUFE’s Self-Setting Concealer, than just that. It effortlessly blends into the skin, regardless of what tool you choose to use. Whether a sponge, MUFE’s concealer brush or your fingers. You WILL get a seamless finish.

MUFE’s 176 Concealer Brush pictured below retails for $35 CAD.

It has a luminous finish that isn’t short lived. The skin around my under eyes is incredibly dry and I’ve noticed a much more fresh appearance, even hours down the line.

In regards to the ‘self-setting’ claim, I can vouch that if you have dry to combination skin like myself, it is in fact correct!

I tried out the following shades:

31 Macadamia has a neutral undertone and what I would opt for on a daily basis, for natural glam.

33 Desert has a yellow undertone and ideal for more glam looks, aka when I’m looking to brighten the under eyes a little more than usual, to pair with a bolder eye look.

34 Golden Sand, naturally is the darkest shade out of the three and not suitable for my complexion.

I would really suggest trying this out if you’re someone who likes a natural, luminous finish. Especially for those like my Mom, who is deterred by concealers because of their heavy, cakey appearance but really appreciates the consistency of MUFE’s Self-Setting Concealer.

The Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Self-Setting Concealer retails for $35 CAD and is available online and in-store at Sephora.

Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Stick Foundation & Step 1 Skin Equalizer Primers

Over the last two months I’ve been struggling with pretty problematic skin. My daily makeup dilemma is, ‘what to use’ and ‘how to make it last the whole day’. My issue isn’t with my foundation coverage but more so how long that coverage lasts, before it’s unveiling my active acne, scars and hyper-pigmentation. Starting early September, I’ve been testing out the Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Stick Foundation & Step 1 Skin Equalizer Primers. View Post
