    Best foundation I have ever used! Covers scars, blemishes & redness. Very good coverage. I do have sensitive skin & this doesn't cause breakouts. Stays on all day. Matches my skin tone perfectly. I just use 1 layer. It gives a natural look not cakey.

    For reference, I am in the shade 60 Honey Beige.


    I personally use this throughout the summer because of it's mattifying effect.Sometimes it can go a little red on me, but because I vacation in FL, i'd take that over an oily face!

    This product runs about $40 at Sephora and although it is pricey, it is worth EVERY penny.

    Once after you apply concealer, this foundation goes on very smoothly

    CAUTION: it DOES get thick and cakey, so work fast and try to put as little as possible on it while getting the coverage you desire.


    Overall, I love this foundation! It stays on all day lasts through hot humid days, and I would return to this every summer.

    This foundation is ah-mazing!

    There are not enough good things that I can say about this foundation. I have combination oily skin and many foundations dry out my dry spots and make my oily spots e ven oilier. This foundation is perfect in making my skin look flawless and not oily nor dry. It makes my skin look covered and perfect! Although the consistency is thicker than its sister MUFE HD foundation, I rather enjoy it. Especially for summer or if you perspire a lot, this foundation really mattfies without drying skin out.

    Even though it is a bit on the pricier side a little bit goes a long way and it is well worth it!

    This foundation is the best thing that has ever happened to me! lol, no but seriously this foundation is amazing. I have really bad skin (acne and acne scars) and this foundation has the best coverage without looking cakey and gross. It feels really light on and looks really flawless even with my terrible skin. The color matches my skin PERFECTLY, I use #60. It doesn't break me out at all. I use it with Too Faced Primed and Poreless as my primer and set it with MUFE HD powder and I adore the coverage and finish!

    This is the best foundation ever. It's light but has an incredible coverage. Your skin looks flawless when using this product. I buy it from The Bay it is 40$ (CAN) and it lasts a long time. There is no need to use a lot a product to have a wonderful result. I use it in combination with the Makeup forever loose powder for an even greater result.

    This foundation is amazing!! Lately my skin has been really terrible with a bunch of bad breakouts. It started a couple of months ago when I was testing some products and hasn't recovered. I was really nervous shooting Where'd You Get That? (our street fashion podcast) because of a ginormous zit on my chin for half of the shoot. Luckily, my makeup artist (blogger Makeup Junkie in Canada) used Make Up For Ever on me and I couldn't believe how well it not only hid my breakouts but kept my skin even, smooth and relatively oil free. Considering I have very oily skin this was a feat by itself.

    I loved this product so much that I bought it for my own use. I have never used a better foundation. It is a lot more money than I usually spend but for the results it is totally worth it and when I run out, I'll definitely buy it again. I have very pale skin but I use #30 (porcelain), a hint darker than my natural skin tone, which looks amazing. I highly recommend this foundation to anyone.

    P.S The good thing about Sephora is you can always get samples and try them out at home for free before you invest.
