MAKE UP FOREVER HD MICROFINISH POWDER
According to Sephora.com, MUFE HD MICROFINISH POWDER is a universal transulent powder to be applied over foundation or worn alone. Sets the foundation and slightly mattifies skin without changing its natural contours.
This 100% mineral silica powder softens the appearance of imperfections. Completely evens out the complexion for a glowing, radiant look. One universal shade for all skin tones. It's completely translucent and goes on any skintone. Its talc-free formula does not dry the skin and is formulated with 100% silica. Dermatologically tested.
PROS:
- Very sheer coverage, so lightweight. You won't even feel that you are wearing any powder
- Anybody can wear it! Any skintone! It won't leave you that "white cast" that sometimes appear on the pictures when you are wearing a foundation or powder
- Does not have any weird smell
- It's dermatologically tested, and I didn't break out using it
- Looks really great in pictures. Looks like I have small pores. Yes it's a Pore Minimizer
- Skin feels so soft and smooth whenever I use this
- Makes my skin looking flawless without the heaviness of a foundation
- Keeps your skin looking matte and not oily
- Great for oily skin - it absorbs oil!
- Its long lasting. I didn't have to re-apply this powder, considering I work 16 hours at times
I am wearing the MUFE HD Microfinish Powder in this picture.
I am also wearing the MUFE HD Microperfecting Primer in Blue and you can read my review here: http://withadriyah.blogspot.com/2009/08/beauty-review-mufe-hd-microperfecting.html
CONS:
- Very expensive. For $30, I personally think you can get the same product somewhere else like M.A.C. or Coastalscents as I believe Silica powder will be always Silica Powder whatever the brand is. But then I could be wrong. I tried the M.A.C. Powder and feels the same as my MUFE Powder but I got the MUFE one just because I have the Sephora discount they sent me.
- Very messy. The Powder can go anywhere. If you are wearing a black dress/shirt, it will go all over it, and will look like you have a dandruff problem ;/
- Can be drying. When you have dry skin, make sure to use a very creamy moisturizer before putting this
OVERALL:
- It is a decent powder. I like it very much, but like I said, you can get this cheaper somewhere else. Of course it won't be "MAKE UP FOREVER" but then its the same Silica Powder. I'm just being honest. After I finish this, I will probably purchase the M.A.C. one. But if I get another discount, I will probably get this again. I like the effect it gives whenever I take pictures. Looks like I have flawless skin, and yes I don't have flawless skin! TRUST ME!
