    What is so amazing about this foundation?
    It feels like you have nothing on your face! It blends well, do not need a lot of product to get the job done, and it has a pump.

    It is pricey and you may have to save for it, but it really is worth it. There are many shades to choose from and they do tend to be on the yellow side, but I am sure you will find something that will fit your skin type.

    Any cons?
    Well, it is not full coverage, but it evens out your skin. If you want full coverage, you may just need concealer.

    Why should you pay for this foundation?
    Because it gives the most flawless, yet natural finish. Does not feel greasy, no shine, and cannot feel it on your face. Go get it girl!

    After trying countless foundations ranging from low to high end, this foundation has got to be one of my favorites. The pigment packed, super thin consistency provides the perfect coverage without the full coverage feeling... and a little bit of product goes a long way! The finish is very satin, which is perfect for normal to dry skin, i would definitely suggest pairing this with a power for oilier girls.

    It sounds a little funny when I tell people I'm wearing HD makeup but there really is a distinction, especially when making yourself camera ready.

    I personally have oily skin so I always try to look for a product that is oil-free such as Make Up Forever's HD foundation. The coverage is quite on the heavy side but not something that makes your face look to "cakey" or even feel that way. What I do recommend to get a flawless finish using this foundation is using the right brush and the one I stand by is the MAC 187 (which I will review in another segment). The brush when applying the HD foundation in a buffing motion will ensure total coverage that is almost invisible to the camera that you can ensure maximum coverage.

    Even if your not planning on being in front of a camera (ie: at a party) I would 100% recommend this foundation for everyday usage especially if you have skin that is multi-toned and you want that even and flawless look.

    Make Up Forever's HD Foundation is pricey but a bottle does last me three months and I use two pumps a day (I use it almost 6 times a week) which gives me at least 12 hours of coverage.

    Ladies & Gents if you want good foundation, look no further.

    I've been through so many cover ups and just when I thought i found the closest I'd get to perfect (Nars), My best friend told me to try Make up forever high definition foundation. So after months of her telling me, I finally try it and am IN LOVE with it! I'll probably stick with this foundation forever, that's how much I love it. You can apply a light coat, or layer it for full coverage.

    I LOVE this foundation. It's my first time trying a foundation from Make Up Forever. My shade is 120 (Soft Sand). It evens out my skintone and stays on for the entire night. Of course you have to set it with powder. The foundation works best when paired with the HD Microfinish powder.
    My face stays matte throughout the entire night and I don't break out at all so it's a plus! In photos, you can see how good the coverage is. I have uneven skintones on my face. My forehead is a bit darker than the rest of my face and because my bangs are always covering the right side of my forehead, it's a bit lighter. The HD foundation makes it all even.
    The price for it is okay since I don't wear it everyday and one pump is enough to cover my entire face.
    Overall, I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to try any HD make up.

    I purchased this foundation after several attempts to find a substitute at Mac for my discontinued Hyper Real foundation. I went to Sephora and tested various products with the makeup artist and Make Up For Ever HD High Definition Foundation yielded the best results color wise and finish wise on my skin. This product is supposed to be a medium to full coverage product but I have to disagree because I find the coverage to be pretty light...it does however, even out my skin tone without feeling like I have makeup on which is a really good thing. I am not into the High Definition hype with cosmetics but I did find that this product works well and that is why I purchased it. I am also impressed that they had a shade that matched my skintone so after 15 years of being a Mac girl I am now a Make Up For Ever girl and hopefully will remain one.

    I hate the price. Its 40 bucks a bottle. I know ridiculous. But in my opinion it is work every single penny. As far as makeup goes you can pretty much avoid high end pricey brands and look great with eyeshadows, mascara, eyeliners bronzer and blushes. Foundation, however, needs to be high quality. This foundation is th e best coverage and the most natural finishmy face actually looks flawless.

    Acne scarring forced me to rethink my foundation needs. After years of using power, I was forced to move up to the strong stuff. After weeks of searching I discovered Make Up For Ever’s HD Foundation. This medium to full coverage foundation is perfect for covering up uneven skin tone, leaving you with a beautiful matte finish.

    The best thing about the product is the range of shades available (I only support makeup companies that are inclusive in their offerings). Even though I wear sunblock, my skin colour is dramatically different in the winter than it is in the summer, so I always have to buy two different shades. And being a person of colour finding a company that makes that two shades close enough to pull this off is rare (at least in Canada). If you wear liquid foundation, you must go to Sephora or the Bay and try this stuff. It's pricey ($40 a bottle) but It’s flawless and worth it. I love it!
