MUFE(makeup forever) Cosmetic line

this little lovely post is an intro into the loveliness that is MUFE; a heads up on products that i will be purchasing and hopefully reviewing; and maybe some inspiration for you guys to try them as well. i first heard of MUFE when sephora opened up last year at my local mall. i was always into makeup but i didnt get into the higher end things besides mac until the sephora opened its doors. i felt like a kid in a candy store; and thats an understatement. i was looking to buy a concealer powder; i had macs, but i wanted to try something new because mac concealers tend to have alot of red in them and it came out a bit darker compared to my skin tone. i asked one of the girls that worked there to match me up and she told me about MUFE and after she put it on i LOVED it. mostly because it was perfect for my yellow undertone skin. now that i know that their powder foundations is good; i was looking into their liquid ones, since liquid foundations give you a more natural look. turns out that MUFE is also amazing when it comes to liquid foundations. after reading all the online reviews and watching some videos online im for sure going to try it. i always tried staying away from liquid foundations because truly people can do harm with these. if not blended well, foundations can make you look like a straight clown! i was debating on whether to get the MUFE HD; or the MUFE mat velvet; but based on reviews HD is geared more towards regular to dry skin. while mat velvet is more for people with oily skin because it gives that shine free natural finish to the skin which sounds amazing. at first i was iffy about the "mat velvet" title; but after reading the reviews; this stuff holds up pretty good. they compare it to the mac foundation; and its said that it gives the same coverage without the heavy thick feeling. macs liquid foundations goes on pretty flawlessly also; so im considering getting matched up at both places just to compare the two. for right now i'll try the mat velvet since i know its for oily skin.




im also going to get the makeup forever primer. whats awesome about MUFE primers is that they come in different colors according to your undertone and skin tone to help give your skin an all over even tone before you even apply foundation. i was matched up for the neutral(white) colored primer since i dont have much discoloration in my skin. if you go to sephora.com and look at the MUFE primers it gives you some detail about what each color does for your face, and its some guidance as to what color primer to get. if your medium toned, i suggest going with just the neutral white because the brown toner tends to be a little dark and has alot of red in it. it looked HORRIBLE ON ME. im also looking forward to trying this bad boy out...

its a concealer palette; much like the one i talked about in a previous entry. this one has five color options which means you can blend the colors together and get the precise coverage you need for under eye circles; blemishes; scars; etc. i also heard that their regular concealers are great too; so i'll probably give that a go too for the days where you get those random breakouts. and last but NOT least; eye shadows. they have this really cool little thing; refillable palettes. sometimes makeup lines only come out with palettes for special editions; or maybe the ones they do come out with only have 3 - 4 colors; so this works out great!

you can transfer your shadows directly into here which makes it easier to organize your eye shadows; and also gives you the freedom to make your own custom made palette.

you can find these and more MUFE products at sephora.com; also sephora has a special going on right now!! when you buy 3 MUFE eye shadows you get the palette(retailed at $10.00) for FREE!! the eye shadows usually retail for around $19.00 but well worth the money. also, mostly any shadow will fit in the palette, so you don't need to stick to just MUFE eye shadows!

The big MAC vs. MUFE

if you know the least bit about makeup you know that.....each line is GREAT when it comes to specific things. for example; mac is awesome with lip gloss and lipsticks; MUFE(make up for ever) is great with foundations and primers; Chanel has an awesome skin care line; etc. there is no one line that is amazing at it all. makeup is different for every one and everyone looks different in it. this is why i cant stress enough to NOT LET YOURSELF BECOME A BRAND NAME WHORE WHEN IT COMES TO MAKEUP. i see alot of these blogs and youtube channels and all they talk about is mac this, mac that!! yes, mac has great products; and brushes; and eyeshadows; BUT SO DO ALOT OF OTHER BRANDS. make up for ever is a perfect example of that. if you look around the Internet; or go into your local sephora and ask to have your face matched up with MUFE you will see what i mean. i tried on their concealer powder and primer and i found it to be 20 times better than macs. i also noticed that their eye shadows are just as pigmented and their color options are great. so whats the lesson to be learned here? dont buy products just because of their name, buy them because they look great on you. at the end of the day; they are on going on YOUR face, or your clients; and a brand name wont matter because you cant tell who's wearing what when it comes to makeup. lines like MUFE, dior, urban decay; etc, dont get as much recognition as they should because mac has a big fan base. im not saying to not purchase mac; because i surely do; im just saying to be open minded to the art that is MAKEUP and to not stick to one brand simply because of its name. in the end you deserve to get what you pay for and thats all that truly matters.
