I can’t remember when exactly my love affair started with Make Up For Ever but I know when it went ‘stalker’. It was as soon as I laid eyes on HD Foundation.
To this day, and many Make Up For Ever products later, I am yet to find a dud. However, HD Foundation is currently on top of my leader board. It is my HG (Holy Grail) foundation. It is my go to foundation. It is my everything.
What I Say ….
- Each time I apply it I get a little confused at how sheer it looks going on, but after just a few minutes of setting you can see the coverage in action.
- The medium-to-full coverage is surprisingly natural. I would probably say it is more of a medium coverage on me. MUFE call it an “Invisible Cover Foundation”. I interpret that as it does all the stuff of a regular foundation but to the naked eye you cannot tell their is any foundation on the skin, and that is exactly how I feel about it.
- Really easy to apply and blend.
- It evens out skin tone and covers flaws with a natural effect. Kind of like lightly airbrushing your face.
- You can’t feel it sitting on your skin. Actually, you can’t feel it even when you touch your skin.
- No caking or sitting in lines.
- Natural glow from your skin shines through.
- Somewhat hydrating, not the most hydrating I have used but it still works a treat over dry patches.
- Depending on environmental conditions I can get a full days wear out of it. A primer and powder are important in setting this foundation but if you take the time to apply everything properly it lasts wonderfully.
- Works AMAZING in photographs. Sometimes I find the best foundations in person aren’t so good in photos …. this one is like the opposite.
- I get the most compliments when I wear this foundation over any other! I put it down to being so natural looking, people think it is just my beautiful skin. Haha suckers!
I am wearing #115 which is the third lightest available. There are 26 colours available in the full range.

What Make Up For Ever Professional Says ….
The MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Complexion products use innovative formulas to create a new generation of make up which is both invisible on HD cameras and to the naked eye. The HD Foundation is an oil-free medium-to-full coverage liquid foundation which covers skin imperfections, while remaining invisible on-screen and in real life. Its extremely fine texture is supple and easy to apply. Enriched with moisturizing agents, it leaves the skin soft and radiant. It is available in a wide range of shades to suit all skin tones.

So far I’d have to say this is my fave foundation on you, looking forward to the rest of the reviews
I really love this one too!!
I love how this looks on your skin. MUFE is just a pain to order here though because there are no counters to try the foundations.
Why oh why didn’t I try it when I was in New York??! gah
Hey Jen, PM Studio has a store in Sydney, and Media Makeup have one in Adelaide. Both companies also exhibit at IMATS in Sydney each year. If none of that is an option, my understanding is both companies will send you a sample of which colour you think you may be to try it out. Personally, I like heading into PM Studio and playing with all the amazing MUFE stuff!
Yes this one does look great on you. I haven’t tried this yet but I think I will now especially because you can get a full coverage out of it.
It really is a great foundation even though it is a little exxy. If you are in Sydney (PM Studio) or Adelaide (Media Makeup) you can head in store and have a real play with the colours.
