Make Up For Ever HD Microperfecting Primer

I never knew about any makeup community, especially online, until last year.  Shocking but true!  I didn't use the internet very much either at that time.  I went into Sephora for only my second or third time, after almost exclusively Dior and Chanel counters my entire life, for a NARS foundation that they didn't have, and the employee ended up selling me MUFE HD.  Now, I know a lot of people love it, but I personally did not.  So I went on Sephora.com to order the NARS- this was the first time I ordered online, too, because they gave me a ship code to buy the foundation (which I didn't even need lol) and after that, I was in another world.  I read the reviews for the MUFE and one of the reviews linked Marlena from Makeup Geek's You Tube channel.  I never watched a You Tube either.  Shocking, I know.  On the side of her video it had other people's videos about MUFE, I was watching those videos all night.  I watched Marlena's channel for hours... then days...then I joined the MUG forum.. now I'm here! 

I tried to apply the MUFE just like the videos said, because it looked so bad on me, cakey, dry, horribly sinking into my skin... I didn't know what I was doing wrong, because I never experienced that before.  I've had makeup artists apply foundations from various lines on me, but I had only used Dior and NARS foundations on myself, so I figured the MUFE must have some special tricks.  Nope, it just seriously didn't work out for me. 

So that's my loooong segway into this review. 



Unfortunately, I no longer have the MUFE foundation, but I have used this primer with both MUFE and other brands, and here is my personal experience with it. 

The texture is kind of serum-like, which was fine.  It was very similar to (forgive me I really forgot the brand!) a primer I've used, seems like ages ago, called Spackle. 



This primer was good for me in terms of prolonging my foundation, but I did not like the highly tacky, sticky feeling it left on my face.  That also made it more difficult to blend.  I had some areas on my face where the foundation would after a while, around my nose and chin is what I noticed the most. 

Face products are so different from one person to the next, and this is only my personal experience with the product.

  3. I bought this too (just a .5 oz sample for $15) but I really didn't care for it either. I thought it was too expensive for such a small amount to do so little for me.
