The Holy Grail (Currently) of Foundation

I believe that even the best products can get better. Therefore, I share my excitement with reserve.

I have found the holy grail of foundation.

Not long ago, I tried so many different foundations and I wrote a blog post about it. At the end of my exploration, I found that I loved MAC Studio Fix foundation and Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream. A few days ago, however, I entered the wonderful world of Sephora and literally spent hours trying out samples of makeup from everything to foundation.

Knowing nothing about Smashbox, Bareminerals, Sephora, Kat Von D, Nars, Cover FX, Urban Decay, Too Faced, Makeup Forever, and Bobbi Brown, among so many others, I walked in blindly. Or shall I say, I walked in with a fresh face and an open mind. I knew little about which brands do what and which do what better.

After trying on so many different foundations including all of the aforementioned brands, I landed on Makeup Forever's (MUFE) HD liquid foundation. It was so awesome. And I found out later after talking to a Sephora rep that it happened to be the most popular foundation. Look at me--I have taste!

But then! I encountered a beautiful woman at the store who was a shopper like me. When I tell you her makeup was flawless, I mean it. I asked her exactly what she was wearing. Ironically she was wearing Makeup Forever, but she had on the MUFE Face and Body Foundation topped with MUFE's new Pro-Finish (multi-purpose foundation or setting powder). So, I was in the right brand but I had not yet reached the holy grail product.

MUFE's Face and Body topped with MUFE's Pro-Finish is quite magical. It brightened and evened out my complexion for a baby-like, heavenly glowing appearance. It went on extremely lightweight and not cakey. It did not oxidize darker; it stayed the same color. I did not feel like I had makeup on but I felt like my face was the best thing going. I had reached nirvana. I would later experience further utopia when I saw the power of the setting powder, keeping my face flawless all day long...and into the next day (because I forgot to take it off!). And the next day it was just as flawless. It did not look "slept in". It looked just done by the makeup artist. The morning glow made it even better than before.

MAC has been beat. MAC is gorgeous on my complexion and enhances my appearance greatly but two of its main flaws are that it can look/feel a little cakey and it feels like it is melting during the summer time. The MUFE combination, however, is airy and wonderfully breathable. Moreover, it's like it becomes your face and it stays quite dry (but not drying) in hot weather.

MUFE is at the top of my list right now. And, as you recall, I was also a huge fan of the HD liquid foundation but I did not purchase it. The Face and Body with the Pro-finish was even more superior than what I had thought was my favorite foundation at Sephora, and both were in the same brand! MUFE is not to be slept on. Stay awake.

Or better yet, sleep with it, sleep on it but let your skin stay awake...forever.
