Make Up For Ever - recommendations

RebelScorned

Hope you guys can help me-

I have a ton of vouchers for Make Up For Ever and I am very excited to try out this brand because I have heard so many great things!

Can anybody recommend any must-have/avoid products from the brand?

Thanks

Heard great things about their HD foundation, definitely worth a look!

I went in the store today with my voucher.

I got a lipstick (Rouge Artist Intense) and an eyeliner (Aqua Eyes). I heard really good things about Aqua Eyes. I've been wearing the shade I purchased (12L) for around 7 hours now and it hasn't budged or smudged. Rouge Artist Natural has better reviews than the Intense range. People said Intense is a bit drying. But it is longer-lasting and I already have a million normal lipstick so I went with Intense (32). I've been wearing it the whole day as well and it is business. It really is long lasting. I applied vaseline on top of it from time to time because it IS drying. But it is not really a problem for me as my lips are really dry and I re-apply vaseline all the time anyway.

There are really good reviews for their foundations. But many didn't recommend them for acne prone skin (especially HD), which I am, so I didn't go for it.

I used this 'Lift' concealer when working on a tv production and it was brilliant! http://www.makeupforever.com/products/complexion/concealers/lift-concealer.html

Reminds me, I need to buy some of this!!

Their Face and Body is really nice too. It is quite light so if you want a lot of coverage I wouldn't get it.

SmokeyEyes

Their HD powder is brilliant!

I use their HD foundation (115) and I swear by it! I have oily combination skin , the foundation is oil free! I'd say it's medium coverage! I love it!

I haven't used it myself, but apparently their Smokey Lash mascara is meant to be great.

They have hardly any foundation in the store at the moment - well I went in last Thursday and they said they had no stock but were hoping to get it in in a few weeks.

Might have to investigate the above recommendations instead - thanks ladies!

No foundations? Gulp! I was hoping to stock up! Here's hoping they stock up before my vouchers expire!

They rarely ever have HD or Face and Body in stock (my two foundations)-you have to wait weeks for stock. I just order now from Guru Makeup Emporium online in London instead cos MUFE Clarendon street never have my foundation!really annoying

Hi guys,

Thanks for all your replies and recommendations. I called into the store on Clarendon Street during the week and I picked up a few things even though I wasn't able to pick up what I really wanted (foundations etc.) The very helpful staff told me that they are expecting an order in from Paris in the coming weeks and they should be fully restocked in foundations etc when this is delivered. They took my details and said they would call me when the stuff comes in and put it aside for me to collect when it comes in.

I picked up the following items in store. I've included prices just in case you were wondering- I know I found it quite hard to find this sort of info on MUFE:

Sculpting Blush in Shade 6 (€26.50)

Uplight in Shade 31 (€31.50)

2 x HD Blush in 5 and 7 (€28 each)

2 x Rouge Artist Natural Lipsticks in N26 and N34 (€19.50 each)

Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick in 32 (€19.50)

2 x Rouge a Levres Lipsticks in L157 and L159 (€10 each)

Aqua Cream in Shade 4 (€21.50)

Aqua Lip Pencil in 8C (€16.50)

2 x Aqua Eyes Pencils in 1L and 21L (€16.50).

If you have any questions in particular about any of these items, feel free to ask- I hope to eventually get around to reviewing everything and putting it on my blog.

I also ordered the HD Foundation, Face and Body Foundation, HD Primer, Velvet Touch Powder, Aqua Creams in 2 and 13, Aqua Lip in 15C and Sculpting Blush in 10 for whenever they get their restock so fingers crossed they will arrive soon!

Excited now to try all these out!
