MAKE UP FOR EVER

I received a deluxe sample of this foundation in my ipsy bag, I've worn it every day this week to fully test it out. It's a great color match, blended well into my skintone. The coverage is good, sheer to medium, but can be built up to fuller coverage without getting cakey. Sets well with powder, but also stays put without. Doesn't transfer, even after I sweat (which is often). Wore well throughout the day without settling into my pores, but it did crack in my smile lines, which is why it gets 4 lippies instead of 5. It's neither too matte nor too dewy, a very nice soft satin finish. I Will most likely shell out the cash to buy a full size soon. I'll update after some time, I want to see how this wears through winter, when my combo skin gets super dry.

Love it!

I've received a couple of sample sizes in shade 06 and I am loving this skin tint as my foundation. (I'm Mac Face & Body N3, and Wet N Wild Cushion Foundation in Cream Ivory.)

I think it's a great product, especially for my mature skin, and if you're looking for something that provides a soft coverage and evens out skin tone this is a beauty! It offers a lovely and light (but decent) coverage and doesn't look cakey or oily - it really does make skin look pretty natural, yet a bit radiant and healthy. IMO it offers a bit more coverage than traditional "tinted moisturizers" - it just gives this little bit "extra" finish that's really pretty.

I cannot get enough of these lip pencils. I have 1c, 2c, 3c, and 15c. I have plans to purchase four other shades. These are by far the most comfortable lip pencils I have ever experienced. My usual morning lip routine is to exfoliate with a wash cloth in the shower, apply pure lanolin to my exfoliated lips once I’m out of the shower, and then apply lip pencil on my entire lip. No joke, I feel no tightness or dryness the entire day. These pencils have more of a waxy near creamy consistency, unlike the chalky texture of some other lip liners. This makes application and wear much more comfortable. Plus, I only have to reapply after eating.

I’m NC 25 and 1c Nude Beige is my perfect everyday nude shade and 15c is a gorgeous everyday pink. The 15c is more of a medium rose pink rather than the light bright pink it appears online, just a heads up. I have seen 8c Red on so many people and it also looks gorgeous. It’s on my want list for sure.

I have MAC Lip Liner in Boldly Bare, which I like, but I would chose MUFE 1c over Boldly Bare anyday. They are similar in color and tone, but MUFE gets higher marks for comfort level.

I wasn't sure if this would live up to MUFE's original Mat Velvet+ foundation, but honestly, the two foundations are quite different and shouldn't be compared. This foundation feels and looks much thinner on the skin and is much more buildable than the original. The first layer is about medium-coverage (when I apply with a sponge0 but it can easily be layered for more coverage.

The finish is demi-matte / natural and looks amazing on my oily skin. Also, I'm AMAZED by the color range!! I have no less than three matches, which is really rare for my yellow/olive NC25 skin. (Most other makeup brands don't make a shade that is both yellow and light). I decided my best match was 255, but I can also wear 245 easily. They look identical on my skin.

Also, shout out to the packaging! The squeeze tube with the small nozzle is super travel-friendly and will make sure that not a bit of product goes to waste.
