Review of Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation

Dec 28, 2008 Author: Jen Hill | Filed under: Cosmetic Brushes & Tools, Foundations, Make Up For Ever

I was fairly content with my foundation choice this year (Prescriptives Flawless Skin with SPF 15), however, after reading several five star reviews about Make Up For Ever’s HD Foundation, I had to try this one for myself.

HD Invisible Cover Foundation ($40): An oil-free medium-to-full-coverage liquid foundation that covers skin imperfections flawlessly while remaining invisible on-screen and in real life. This Sephora-exclusive foundation comes in 25 different shades to suit all skin tones.

You will particularly love this foundation if you have oily or combination type skin, this is an oil-free formula that absorbs into the skin easily and blends beautifully. No breakouts or irritation while using this foundation! Because of the large selection of shades, you will also be sure to find your exact skin color match. The light diffusers are very subtle and give your skin a natural glow. The build-able coverage is very impressive, and a little bit goes a long way. The $40 price tag may scare you, but if you are looking for a lovely foundation, HD Invisible Cover Foundation is a must try. This foundation has become one of my top beauty finds for 2008.

One perfect way to apply this foundation is by using the BeautyBlender. Mo reviewed this amazingly versatile and wondeful sponge applicator, and we cannot say enough great things about it! Seriously, it is like these two items were custom made for each other.

I peeked at this yesterday but the price tag spooked me. I have something to return to Sephora so maybe I’ll just consider that a down payment on the foundation and get it anyways. Hey, you only live once right?! Besides, if someone has a color to match my skin then it’s worth the expense!

Oh Mo, you will really love this foundation. I am quite confident about this being able to match your skintone, let me know how things turn out!

I’ve heard a few makeup artists that I know from NY raving about this product, but I was skeptical on it matching. I really need to check it out, if only to satisfy my curiousity! I have the worst time trying to find foundation that matches my skin. Even my beloved MAC was too dark for many years, but it was the closest I could come.

It sounds like this would be great for sensitive skin, too.

I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. I totally love it!

I sort of find the IMMENSE color selection baffling. A lot of the lighter ones are hardly decipher-able from each other…

I love THIS foundation…I use it every week on a client who is an anchor for a tv broadcast. She has freckles (really cute) but likes to hide them on the air….this & their HD set powder and we are good to go!!!

On me the difference between 110(the lightest) ad 115 was HUGE, but I agree that once you move up from there several of the colors seem redundant. But I suppose if you have a hard time matching it might seem like a blessing to have so many choices. I am excited to use this for our family pictures today!

Iam actually going to buy this make up today. Do I need this “beauty blender” that I keep hearing about? And what is it, a sponde? Does it matter if I use my finger tips? Does it go on better or heavier if I use this beauty blender?
Thanks

I would highly recommend some kind of foundation sponge, but it does not have to be the beauty blender.

The foundation is more concentrated than most foundations, a little goes a long way, and the sponge (slightly damp) helps it glide on smoothly and flawlessly! If you end up purchasing it, let me know how it turns out!

Best, Jen

Hi Jen — I have extremely dry skin and don’t think this foundation would work for me. Do you have a recommendation for a foundation that would work for my 40+ dry skin? Thanks!

This foundation is amazing. I use a foundation brush to apply it to my face and all I need is a single pump. It feels like I have nothing on, but at the same time, it gives me so much coverage that I don’t even need powder. By far te most expensive foundation I’ve ever bought but it is worth every penny.

How do you compare the MUFE Invisible HD to the Hourglass Veil? I’ve had specialists at Sephora recommend both, and I’m now totally confused…. Any help out there?

hey jen i have been wanting this foundation for the longest time i have acne scars on my forhead do you think the foundation would cover them up and make me look like i have FLAWLESS skin
Jen Hill August 26th, 2010 at 3:31 pm 16

Hi Tiffani!

Acne scars are a tough one, and I suppose it depends on their severity and texture, but this foundation is very buildable, and offers great, natural coverage. I cannot guarantee flawless, but I can promise a natural finish and medium coverage.

Have you tried any good skin care products to help diminish or fade your acne scars? If you haven’t yet, read our review of the M2 12% or 20%, depending on your skin type, this might be a product you should check out.

Best wishes and many thanks for your comment!

An interesting dialogue is worth comment. I feel that you should write extra on this topic, it may not be a taboo subject however typically people are not sufficient to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
