I love this powder. It was recomended to me through a sephora consultant and wasn't too sure about it considering it was white. I'm pale as it is and i didn't need anything to amplify that lol It sets my foundation wonderfully and lasts a longtime. No need to reapply mid day and i have fairly oily skin. Keeps everything in its place.

Applies easily with a powder brush(not included). I found the easiest way is to tap some into the lid and use the brush to lightly sweep across the face. It gives a soft look rather than a powdery, overdone look which is nice. I have porceline skin and it matches and my fried had a very dark tan and she can use it too

Works well with all skin tones and lasts a very long time. Its a little pricey but considering the wonders it has done for my face i recomend it to all my friends

This powder does absolute wonders at setting your foundation. I naturally have a semi-oily complextion that can cause my foundation to wear off but this powder sets it & I don't have to worry about a thing- LOVE THIS PRODUCT HANDS DOWN.

So long story short, my Hyperreal foundation from Mac was discontinued and I have since been on the hunt for replacement makeup. I went to Mac 3 times to try and find a substitute but to no avail. I tried their mineralize makeup and it actually reacted with my face and burned. I tried their Strobe cream mixed in with their Select Finish and I looked like I had jaundice and was sick. Not good. Anyway, I then proceeded to Sephora (blessfully they opened one in Vancouver in the last year) and let the makeup artists have a go at my face. The best results were achieved with Make Up Forever's High Definition foundation combined with this product, Make Up For Ever HD High Definition Loose Powder. This is a very very finely milled powder and very little product goes a long way....which is good because I purchases just the small travel size for $17. I find that this product gives me a nice finish on top of my foundation and I am very impressed with this product. Sad that this Mac loyal chickie has now had to convert to another brand 15 years later but Mac's shades look BAD on my skin now with their current offerings. Ah well!

I bought the travels size in Sephora for 15$. I have had it for months and I still have more then half left and I use it everyday. So thats how I would buy it. As far as quality this product is amazing, really buffs in make up and makes it look natural. Gives a breat smooth finish and makes your make up last all day. def worth it.

I got this powder as part of a kit almost a year ago and i still have a lot left. I originally used this alongside with the MUFE HD foundation and it definitely gives the skin that pore-less, flawless look. I had heard a seminar on HD products and they said that MUFE HD line creates particles that are spheres rather than having hard edges, this way, the edges don't reflect unflattering light. Instead, it gives a flawless smooth finish. When i used this alongside with HD Foundation at a shoot, it looked really great on camera. I don't use liquid foundation a lot so i found a new purpose for this product. I usually apply concealer on my eyes first and apply a little bit of this to set it and it works wonders. The powder is so silky when you touch it and it translate to your skin when you use it. Overall, definitely a great powder, especially if you're using liquid foundations.

So I was hearing A LOT of good reviews about this product so I decided to nag my mom to buying one for me when she went to the states. In the picture you’d think it’s pretty big for a $20 HD powder but nope, it was way smaller than expected.

So i tried this on as a finish to my foundation routine and all I have to say is one word-> DISAPPOINTMENT. I was actually more sad than frustrated that it wasnt what I thought it would be. What do you think when a product says its High Definition Powder??? I’d think of HD TVs. Yes, I did. And I thought this powder would give me that HD look I was hoping. But what it did was gave me a ‘whiter’ look. It’s basically just white powder insider and it looked like Id put on some J&J;baby powder on my face. >.<

Ive also heard that when using this product, you have to know the “right” amount to use on your face. Like too light powder doesnt really do anything while too much makes you a WHITE FACED lady. So I tried using just the right amount and focus on my eyes and basically my T zone area. Nope, didnt work. The only thing I liked about it was that it was silky and smooth to apply.

Overall, didnt live up to my expectations. I thought this powder would blend better with my skin since the powder blends better(they said) with paler skins. Well maybe it didnt work because I have asian skin? No I dont think so. Then that would be in conflict with their ‘suits all skin types’ claim. Basically, the MUFE HD Powder was not worth my dime.

I love love love this stuff. It makes my skin feel so soft and really helps diminish the look of imperfections on my skin. I have sensitive skin but this powder is so genital and soft that it's great for all skin types. It also does a great job at setting my foundation so I don't have to reapply as much. I was hesitant about the white color since I'm already so pale but as long as you use a synthetic brush it blends beautifully with my skin. I would recommend this product to everyone it does what it claims to do and there is a lot of powder in the jar and you don't have to use very much to get the desired effect it really is a great deal.

This powder gives you a soft focus celebrity look. It goes great with Make Up For Ever HD foundation. It leaves your face super soft and it goes on really smooth. Again a little goes a very long way.
