MAKE UP FOR EVER HD PRIMER IN CARAMEL



Hi all,


Since the Make Up For Ever family is greatly expanding now is the time to revisit the product that got it all started. That is MUFE HD MICROPERFECTING PRIMER. I have for review today #4 Caramel (which adds a warm glow to deeper skin tones).  I have to add that right now this is not the best time to try this product as my skin is not tanned yet, however I imagine the shade will be much more suited come mid summer when my skin tone has warmed up a lot more, but for testing purposes I have used it.

So what does Make Up For Ever promise from their HD Primer, well here are the details

"The light, oil-free formula of the HD microperfecting primer acts as a preperation product that createsa protective film on the skin's surface and operates as a shield, preventing the foundation from penetrating the skin. It is dermatologist tested to be safe for all skin types, it also helps to stablize foundation to be more long-lasting and more evenly applied.

The purpose of the primer is to create a more soft focus effect to the complexion. Formulated with silica micro beads that are engineered to act as minuscule light refractorsm these beads refract both man-made and natural light to veil imperfections. Nourishing ingredients act as moisturizers to protect skin from dryness, providing a well balanced canvas for your foundation.









As you can see this is to dark and even once blended it leaves that orange tint around the edges where the rest of my hand is light. 

I have actually tried it on my face and I have mixed emotions about this product. I feel it seems a little tacky upon application and then drys to a smooth finish. For me personally because I have a lot of skin problems I don't feel it blurs my imperfections, but does smooth out the surface of my skin better prior to my foundation. I also I don't like that it tends to be a fragrant product, which is not great for sensitive skin.

I do like that its very light weight on the skin with that barely there feeling and it really is not greasy at all, as it claims state.

I find the consistency of this primer very different compared to other's I have tried.

I will have to follow up at a later time once I am able to use it more in the summer and see how it holds up to intense heat and sweating.

There are currently 7 primer options available from Make Up For Ever this one included the other 6 are 

0 Neutral - A translucent base for all complexions
1 Green- To counteract redness
2 Mauve- Neutralize strong olive undertones
5 blue- Gives a porcelain finish to fair skin
6 Yellow- Adds golden tones to dark complexions
7 pink- Adds brightness and warm


The way you are suppose to apply the HD Microperfecting Primer is dab lightly with fingertips, or use a sponge in a downward motion

This retails for $39 and is available exclusively at Sephora, www.sephora.ca and Make Up For Ever boutiques


Thanks everyone for your on going support here at Makeup'Asylum and always remember to be living YOUR best life, because we only get to do this once.

XOXO:)

  1. Great review. I appreciate your honesty. I would prob get the translucent one to try to start off. This would def work if you had a nice tan going on. The tackiness kind of turns me off though.

  2. Looking forward to your follow up. This sounds promising, I like that it isn't greasy although the tackiness is a little concerning. I would prob try the neutral or the pink.
