Makeup Forever

It is exclusive to Sephora. (or at least it was the last I shopped there.) The makeup is of the highest quality, and I particularly like the liquid blush, which I received as a promotion for being a beauty insider.

Heavy duty on make up, Light on skin

There are several different kinds of primers for everyone. The classic shade 0 is translucent and works for everyone. Shade 1 is green is going to color correct redness (perfect for rosacea or very pink skin). Shade 2 is mauve and that's going to brighten yellow or sallow tones (great for olive tones) Shade 4 is caramel and is perfect for darker skin tones because foundation often looks ashy on da...read morerk tones so this will warm the complexion. Also, on medium skin tones it works on going down a shade of you're in between and it's GREAT for contouring as well! Shade 5 is wonderful for making fair tones more radiant and brighter (especially if your skin is so fair that it's lighter than most foundations--it makes your skin more fitting to fair foundations as well). Shade 6 is great for evening hyperpigmentation and Shade 7 is great for brightening medium or light skin tones or if you want to move up a shade if you are in between shades.... Hands down, this is one of my favorite primers EVER. It goes on super lightweight onto the skin and the best thing is that it has NEVER caused me to break out, yet this had the best coverage and wear under foundation. It feels very refreshing on the skin and it has sodium hyaluronate in it so it helps your skin retain moisture better. This is the best primer to prepare your skin for MUFE foundations! I never EVER wear foundation without this!

Been using for a week and :D

I have been using this in green for a week now and so far i really like it. i feel like my face looks more even toned and my foundation is lasting longer. I even think its controlling my oiliness a little bit. Its not like one of the heavily silicone based primers , its a thinner consistency. i have been getting compliments on my skin lately so maybe this is helping me. I would try it if your look...read moreing for a new primer. The price is high, but MUFE is a fantastic line and this will last you a while.

Pricey

This is the first face primer I have ever used so I didn't really know what to expect. I saw some YT gurus use this and rave about it so I decided to get the travel size for Christmas just in case I didn't like it rather than buying the original size. I've used it pretty much every week day since I got it and am just now running out. A little goes a LONG way when using this primer. I apply it all ...read moreover my face before my foundation and after I use my moisturizer. It's a kind of a white/clear color and it's not too thick but not too thin. I feel like it really does cover up my pores and gets my face ready for a full day's worth of makeup. I've noticed it also helps my foundation go on a lot easier rather than no primer at all. I'm not really sure if it's made my foundation last any longer but it does work for minimizing pores. It doesn't make me oily either, YAY! Although I really don't have any negative reviews for it, I probably wouldn't repurchase due to the fact that I would like to try another primer.

Not that great

I don't see what the hype is about with this primer. Feels ok and lightweight but with aging skin I don't think it does anything spectacular and it didn't help make the HD Makeup Forever foundation go on any better. Already returned to Sephora. Bummed!

Green Primers

As a make up artist who has been around for more than 25+ years I am still amazed by the idea that companies are trying to foist Green primers on their clients. Once and for all Green primers will turn you grey and ashen if used under a foundation. Try finding red neutralisers (which you can find in any theatrical stores) these are more flesh coloured and less prone to making you look like death ...read morewarmed over. The only primer with colour I endorse are the yellow or orange toned ones to reduce the blueness in the skin.

Green MUFE Primer

i worked at sephoras for a seasonal position and decided hey why not try out different products since our job was to promote them, duh. i tried so many other primers and none worked like this. ive had very red skin my entire life, even some rosacea, and this primer covered up all those red flaws on my face. even when not using MUFE foundation it still covered very well(even though ill probably ne...read morever stop using their foundations either). overall best of the best i hope they never get rid of this product, its well worth the money.

Disgusting

Yes it seems fine at first but then I started to notice something. Not only was it making me break out but the silicon base for one doesn't last throughout the day. Second, it beads up and gives my skin the appearance of dry skin even if I only use a little bit. It also doesn't preserve the natural color of the makeup. It does everything opposite of what primer is supposed to do. I know the other...read more people that have reviewed it say it's nice but there are way better products and this is not one of them.

Love this Product!!!

I have used smash box primer n bare minerals primer but nothing compares to this... It's the most amazing primer because it leaves your skin so smooth n even toned that you may not need to use any foundation.

Works great!

I love this primer. It's replaced my Mac Prep + Prime. I find that it corrects the flaws I have and makes my make up last all day. However, I wish it had SPF in it.
