Make Up For Ever- The Rest of My Stash

Today's post will focus on the other items from the Make Up For Ever line that I consider to be staples.

Compact Modellers Kit Duo 1
Now many of you remember the Sculpt and Shape Duos from MAC, designed to contour and define the face. Many a contouring technique can both slim and expand certain areas of the face, making this little duo my best friend. This wonderful duo is exactly like MAC's sculpt and shape, except we have the light shade (designed to highlight) in one pan, and the darker shade (designed to shadow and define) in another pan. This design differs from MAC in that it contains individual pans as opposed to both products being in one pan.

Jurys in folks, this stuff is ah-may-zing! Drop in to your nearest Sephora and go check it out. Several color options are available so you can't really lose ;)

Concealor Palette
This one is pretty much self explanatory folks. What you get are 4 shades ot creamy concelor, designed to mix and match to find the right shade for you. This palette can be used to conceal of course, but it is also wonderful for contouring. The last shade is a color corrector, and the option I went with was purple to combat discoloration and too much of a warm tone to the skin. Purple is an effective brightener.

Alternately, you can go with the green option to combat redness. Now that I think on it, Palette 1 might have been the better option for me.

Cream Flash Color
Now this is something that perhaps we have seen before. What you get is a pot of creamy color in a rainbow of shades that can be used pretty much anywhere on the face. Me being the eyeshadow fiend that I am, I automatically opt to use these as an eyeshadow base. Word of caution, these will crease if not set with powder, and the metallic shades (I have gold) does not play well with mattes. Otherwise, I love the color choices and reach for these when I have a bit more time to fuss with them and set them properly.

Glossy Full Lip Gloss
Perfectly hydrating, these minty glosses deposit just a hint of color, and a whole lot of minty flavor. The result- slick, luscious looking lips that automatically look plumper. I reach for these when I need my minty lip fix and they look great over bright lipsticks.
Cream Eye Liner:
I will do an extensive review of this in a future post, but for now I will say this cream liner is absolutely amazing. It is rich, pigmented, and does not budge! Shade 5 is the most amazing deep dark violet.

Pearly Waterproof Eye Shadow Pencil

This one is very similar to MAC's shadesticks. What you get is a pearly, chubby eye shadow pencil in various shimmering shades. I love using the one I have, a creamy pearl color; to both lay down as an eyeshadow base or to highlight.

Smokey Eyes Mascara:

MUFE Eyeshadows- Color My World

In my humble opinion, the true stars of the Make Up For Ever Line are the eyeshadows. Offering up over 120 shades in matte, iridescent, pearly iridescent, and star finishes; Make Up For Ever eyeshadows cover every end of the spectrum.

What you get with these are intense pigmentation with no frills, and no fillers. I reach for my MUFE palettes when I want my shadow to deliver that something extra.

The mattes are by far the most amazing finish; delivering intense, true color while applying and blending flawlessly. Number 92, a matte purple, is one of the line's standouts, with even more amazing matte colors following in it's footsteps.

Enough chit-chat, time for some swatches!!

Stars In Your Eyes

Part 2 of the Make Up For Ever Series, the Star Powders

One of the line's most versatile products, Star Powders are shimmering, loose pigments meant to be used on the eyes and face. Corn-silk fine, these are a dream to apply and blend.

Think MAC pigments without any chunkiness. Just superfine, pigmented, shimmering color

Below in the swatches are most of the colors I own, by number with an sp after the number.

Questions about any specific colors? Comment box is open ;)

Make Up For Ever- Le Lipsticks

Let us begin our official Make Up For Ever series with a focus on the lips.

To understand the nature of Make Up For Ever lipsticks, it is important to mention that like MAC, MUFE comes in different finishes and textures. The colors follow the full colour spectrum.

Lacquered: These are creamy, and provide both full color and sheen
Pearly, which have less coverage and more sheen
Lacquered Transparent: High shine and sheer coverage
Pearly Transparent, Pearlescent and sheer
Matte- Full coverage, and opaque full color. These are the driest of the finishes

It is important to note that these lipsticks are fragrance free. There are no fillers so all you really get is pigmentation without fancy shmancy scents or flavors.

The packaging is also very no frills, and is available in stick or palette refill form.

And on we go to the swatches
Apologies for the crappy lip swatches, but applying and wiping off 12 lipsticks consecutively did not make my lips happy. I will try to redo sometime soon but for now, here are the not so great swatches.



The colors are fairly self explanatory, but of course feel free to ask me any questions!

Until next time, un bisous

Make Up For Ever

In all seriousness, nothing gets my makeup mojo going faster than Make Up For Ever.

Created in 1984 by makeup artist Dany Sanz, this brand has become the go to brand of professional artists and hardcore makeup junkies. Make Up for Ever isn't about fancy packaging or gimmicks, but about quality and versatility. All Make Up for Ever products are suitable for applications from everyday to runway. No fillers or preservatives are used, so all you get is pure pigment and exceptional durability.

What started as a cosmetic one night stand has officially turned into a full on hot and heavy affair. A humble collection of just one eyeshadow has quickly morphed into a dozen lipsticks, 42 eyeshadows, foundation, sculpting powder, star powders, and everything else under the sun.

For now I leave you with photos of my collection. Each day this week I will feature a different class of products with reviews, and of course plenty of pictures.

Enjoy ;)

So who else loves MUFE? Excited for Make Up For Ever week? I know I am!
