This is a light to medium buildable coverage foundation. It's really light and has a watery, very runny consistency which combined with the lightness of the coverage going on makes it a little awkward to apply in my opinion. I've not yet gotten the hang of applying the right amount. It does blend in really well, but I always end up feeling like I've used too much whether I've used a foundation brush, sponge, fingers, kabuki brush, whatever... there's a fine balance with this foundation between too little and too much and it's really too much trouble to find it. Also the runny consistency makes it a little tough to deal with.

Color-wise, i got the 178 which was an okay match and faded really well into my skin initially but oxidized a little red on me (I'm about NC50 normally) after a couple of hours. I probably should have gotten the 177 instead. I didn't really like how this came out on my skin, I didn't feel like it improved the appearance at all and I felt it looked a little greasy and red within a couple of hours but then again I didn't use powder to set it so that might help it.

I'm going to finish this at some point because it doesn't break me out and it wasn't cheap. It may take a while because it's kind of a pain figuring it out right now and I have loads of other foundations I'm working through but this one's not so bad I won't eventually get through it. I probably won't buy it again though.

MUFE HD High Def Foundation is the BOMB DIGGITY. I get so many compliments on my skin when I wear it. It gives me a wonderful airbrushed look. And a little goes a long way so it lasts forever; a huge plus because of the price. It stays put, too - my skin looks just as great at the end of the day as when I first applied it in the morning.

The ONLY problem I have with this product is that the cap will not stay on! I keep my products in a makeup bag and every time I reach for this bottle, the friggin' cap has come off. Luckily, the pump is pretty secure so it doesn't squirt all over the place inside my bag.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this foundation!!

Other than Colorstay, this is the only foundation that I have purchased more than once.

Currently, it's my go-to, and I pair it with HD Primer in Caramel for additional warmth and finish off with HD powder... what can I say... I'm big into continuity.

First things first... the color selection, at least for my neutral toned, Edward Cullen skin, is acceptable. 117 matches me perfectly, and during the summer time, I add a smidge more of the Caramel primer. (#4 I believe?) I never get dark enough for the 118, despite my best efforts. One of the only companies, IMO, that understands that just because I have the skin pallor of a corpse, does not mean that I have cool undertones.

Applies beautifully, covers up acne, acne scars, dark circles. Pretty much makes concealer a non-issue. Photographs beautifully as well.

Here's where lippies come off. I have.. . let's say, "combination" skin. Also, I work with dog's all day and have a propensity to sweat and be a disgusting human being. I am oily and a hot mess around 1 pm everyday. Nothing Palladio blot papers and some powder can't take care of, but if I am paying 42 dollars for foundation... b**ch better work. I feel like a goddess every day before noon... and then after that.... meeehhhh.....

So, for now, this foundation is a go-to, especially for night's out, and everyday use as it does work wonderfully for a short period of time... I shall continue to be on the hunt, however, for something that'll last throughout my endeavors in the veterinary field/ drinking binges,

When I used this product I use it with all of the MUFE HD line - from primer to finishing powder. I don't hate this at all, it does give a nice finish and does a good job covering. I do like the way my face looks when I leave in the morning. My problem with this is later on in the day my face looks very bad. I catch a look of myself in a mirror and my skin looks so dull and flat. Its not like the product completely comes off on me, it just looks like the finish has changed. I have better long term luck with a lot of other products. For that reason, I only use this for short trips out or something and refuse to wear it for a long work day.

I have used this for a few months now, and have to say it's not all that.Tried applying with my fingers, duo fiber, sigma's flat top, all the other foundation brushes I have.

Pros: The coverage is buildable
Covers my acne and redness very nicely

Cons: doesn't last all day on my oily skin (hot weather too!)
Clog my pores (I'm not sure whether or not it breaks me out, which is the main problem for me)
When I first apply it, my pores get much more noticeable
My skin doesn't absorb it very well at first, feels like it's not going to set.
Pricey.

Overall, I think it's a good foundation for those with normal/dry/combination skin, it has a good coverage and can look flawless.

PROS: Good Coverage without looking cakey

Photographs well

CONS: I would think that this only suits people who put themselves in the normal skin category. It's not good at controlling oil (although being fair it doesn't claim to) I can imagine it would also cling to dry patches on drier types.

IT CAUSED AN ALLERGIC REACTION ON MY SKIN

After weeks of trying to work out what was causing my cheeks and jawline to have raised red bumps I finally figured out it was this foundation which never initially crossed my mind! It contains METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE which is a newer type preservative that has replaced parabens as they have received more negative press. This particular ingredient is recommended to be used in wash off products, not ones that remain on the skin Google it to find out more. I'm just pleased I got to the bottom of what was causing my issue!

I wanted a fdtn that would look good (though I have pretty good skin) in direct sunlight as I have a bit of hyperpigmentation on my "driving" side where sunlight does get in. I usually use sheer to med fdtns but thought I better go with Med to Full. This does layer nicely and look really good, if you want full fdtn look. BUT nothing, nothing breaks me out and this did! Back to Sephora for this! Got Healthy Mix Serum by Bourjois.

I really wanted to love this foundation... but the lightest shade is a touch too dark for me (hardly noticeable so long as I buff it out correctly) and this stuff will rub or slide right off and the slightest contact with cloth or sweat. I can get maybe 6 hours out of this foundation, which I find absurb considering I have such dry skin and most things stick to it well.

I will say it's an amazing foundation to wear if you know you'll be in pictures, or under black lights (no spf) so I tend to wear it at night - unless I know I'll be sweating. No amount of primer, setting spray, or powder keeps this stuff in place. I love the way it looks, applies, blends, but for it's staying power I find it over priced.

Eh. The color match was pretty good but honestly this did not look any better on me than Maybelline fit me liquid or Neutrogena healthy skin liquid foundation. If I am going to spend $40 on a foundation I expect to be wowed not left thinking "really....?" I much prefer MUFE F&B foundation---if only sephora would get the lighter shades in stock again so I could mix them with the 20 I am currently using! continued >>

I have a serious love-hate relationship with this product. I have oily skin, but I want a foundation with a natural, dewy-ish finish. I know, I know. I saw the rave reviews of this product on Youtube and elsewhere, and how it was TOTALLY good for oily skin. In reality, it really isn't. The only reason why I keep buying this product is because of the GORGEOUS finish it gives. Sadly, this finish doesn't last very long on me because of my oily skin. I use a Smashbox primer, a setting powder, and MAC Fix + spray. Believe me people, I go through the motions to make this work. Even with all those things, it still manages to melt off my face before the day is through. Maybe it's not meant to be. This would probably be amazing for those of you with dry or normal skin. The coverage is medium. It doesn't cover up my acne scars, but it does (sort of) manage to cover up the redness of my cheeks. It goes on nicely if you're patient. I have had occurrences when this has looked cakey, but I now use my Sigma Flat-Top Kabuki brush, stipple the product in first, and THEN buff the product into my skin. Loses the cakiness (sp?) effect.
