elf High Definition Powder V.S MUFE High Definition Powder

Hello, my gorgeous, flawless looking fans! This past weekend I used a LOT of makeup for Bombshell Baby! and tried a lot of new things I had purchased, but hadn't had a chance to use. One of these was the elf High Definition Powder. I had used the MUFE High-def powder for a while. I liked it a lot, besides when it came to flash photos in areas I applied a lot (like concealer), but I was interested in another option, especially one that costs less than $10.

The MUFE powder costs $32 and while it is WONDERFUL, I honestly can't say it is wildly better than the elf powder which is $6. I have issues with the MUFE packaging. It is difficult to get the powder out. The elf package comes with a powder puff of a pretty good quality and it is just a nicer packaging. It's larger, so maybe it's not for carrying in your purse, but it's a superior package. The ingredients to these powders are actually very similar. The MUFE powder is truly better, but for $26 more, I would choose the elf powder over it for every day. A makeup artist would definitely want to go for the MUFE powder.

I used both of these during the show and found them both to be wonderful.

Makeup Forever HD Powder and Flash Photography

Hello, my gorgeous, makeup wearing fans! These pictures have been going around for a while, but I wanted to spread the word about this just so this NEVER happens to you. Makeup Forever has a translucent HD powder which is designed to make people look amazing with HD cameras. It has a silicon in it which fills in your skin and reduces wrinkles, smooths out skin, etc. It's a fabulous powder that is used for movies, film and everyday...but if you are going to taking flash photographs DO NOT WEAR IT! Unfortunately, when applied heavily on concealer, which is what you SHOULD do for under eye concealer so it doesn't crease, it is so strong and reflects so much, that in flash photos the areas that you apply the most powder to show up as white and powdery. NUTS! Obviously Nicole, Ashley and Eva's makeup artists didn't know this...now they do. Also, check out Wayne Goss talking about this and doing a demonstration!

Makeup Forever

Hello, my beautiful made up fans. Today I want to talk about Makeup Forever products I have used. Makeup Forever is a fabulous brand and most of their products are golden. The one downside is that I find that slightly more pricey than other brands I like more, but it still doesn't stop me from buying their stuff. I think their bestselling and most loved product is the High Definition Powder. It is $32, which is on the pricey side, but it really is wonderful. I like the MAC finishing powder almost as much and it's also $10 less. The Makeup Forever one is just great though. Another great Makeup Forever product is the eye shadows. They have amazing matte shades, gorgeous shimmers that aren't too shimmery, bright, pigmented colors, but again, they're just a LITTLE too expensive to be your number one choice. They also do amazing diamond shadows and glitters. The glitters are too expensive as well, at $14, but the diamond powders are honestly worth it. They are really special and gorgeous. I will talk about my trick to applying glitter and glitter powders at a later date. In the end, I really like this brand, I just wish everything was $2-5 cheaper. Do you have any Makeup Forever favorites? Let me know!
