Makeup Forever Ultra HD Foundation Review


Hey ya'll! Today's review will be on the new reformulated Makeup Forever Ultra HD foundation!
Need a foundation for photo shoot? Well this is the foundation which is claimed to be created for those ULTRA HD cameras. Very intriguing isn't it. Well I'm here to put it to the test!


Selling in Sephora at $72, 30ml


Comes with a pump for easy dispensing of product!



-ULTRA HD advanced formula
-Look invisible on 4K camera and naked eye
-Feels like a second skin
-Medium coverage
-Blends in seamlessly
-Great for all skin tpes




The foundation is slightly runny.
I'm going to test out the coverage using that eye liner mark I made.

As it is claimed it is indeed a medium coverage foundation as the eye liner is still peeking through.
So now onto the wear test!


BARE FACE
Here is my skin with moisturizer and sunscreen. It is slightly dewy from the skincare overload.
Depending on your concerns you may want to prep your skin accordingly.



 Here is the final makeup with 2 layers of foundation and set with some powder. The foundation sets to a semi-matte/ dewy finish.
I'll say the foundation looks really flawless under my soft box lighting.
However this foundation is medium coverage so it did not cover up my imperfections very well.



Here's a check in 4 hours later. As you can see the foundation looks great on camera, and in real life too. However, my face get oily faster then usual and found myself having to gently blot off with tissue through the day.




7 hours have passed and girl can I tell you I am one oil slick. I did not touch up at all through the day and my combination skin type just couldn't stay matte. However as you can see from the photo, it still looks gorgeous on camera, looking fresh and flawless. In real life the foundation did not separate around my oiliest areas and only a small portion of my face got cakey. Overall I am impressed.



Well, overall I think this foundation is pretty amazing. Oh how I wish it had better coverage and controlled my oil production better. But then again that is not what it is marketed for. Plus point was that despite getting quite oily by the end of the day, my makeup did not separate and stayed flawless on camera. 


Pros
-Looks flawless on camera
-Leaves a beautiful semi-matte/ dewy finish
-Lightweight
-Blends so easily
-does not separate on face

Cons
-Medium coverage which is not build able to full 
-Ger oily very quickly through the day


Normal Skin: -Recommended-
*If you dig a dewy healthy glow for your skin and want to look picture perfect all the time, this foundation will work really well for you.

Combination Skin: -Recommended-
*As this foundation runs more dewy, it will cause us to become oily faster though the day as compared to a matte foundation. But as long as you set well and do a few touch up through the day, I can bet your foundation will look just as fresh even by the end of the day.

Oily Skin: -Not Recommended-
*I feel that although it is claimed that this foundation is made for all skin types, I feel that this foundation will not be able to keep the oil at bay and frequent touch ups will be needed through the day which may result in a cake face. As much as it gives a flawless finish to the skin, you might want to reconsider if you dislike feeling like an oil slick by mid-day. 

Dry Skin: -Recommended-
*Looking for a foundation to look good in pictures. Look no more, just go get this. This foundation will give you that glow you always wanted and even keep your face hydrated. 

Very Dry skin: -Recommended-
*You may still need to ensure your dry patches are well moisturized before going in with this foundation. But for most parts it will not cling too much onto your dry areas and is a great foundation to try.

Pigmented Skin: -Not Recommended-
*If you require a full coverage foundation to cover darker pigmentation, I will say this foundation is not for you. Even putting on 3 layers, I could still see my scars peeking through. Unless you do not mind going in with an additional concealer, I would say just go for a higher coverage foundation instead.



Will I Repurchase
Yes
It is pretty darn amazing.

4/5
