Make Up For Ever Water Blend Foundation Review

September 26, 2016

I can’t resist Make Up For Ever products…  I was at The Make Up Show in Dallas this past weekend and picked up a few of the new Artist Rouge Lipsticks as well as the Water Foundation.  I’ve worn the foundation for the past two days and thought I’d do a first impressions review for you.  The Make Up For Ever Water Blend Foundation retails for $43 for 1.7 ounces of product.  It’s available in 20 different shades.

*purchased myself/affiliate links

Make Up For Ever Water Blend Foundation

The foundation is packaged in a frosted glass bottle with a pump dispenser.  This foundation is a revamped, modern formula of the original and iconic Make Up For Ever Face + Body Liquid Makeup Foundation.  It’s enriched with pro-vitamin B5. The Water Blend Face & Body Foundation hydrates and improves your skin’s elasticity.

What the website says:

Give skin a fresh, dewy glow with this unrivaled formula that feels so lightweight, sheer and comfortable. The quick and easy application makes it ideal for face & body, as the water-based waterproof foundation evens out the complexion to leave a natural-looking, satin finish. Created with 80% water, this long-lasting unique water-gel texture naturally hydrates and blends in evenly for a smooth, flawless look.

I was color matched to the shade Y405 – Golden Honey.  I wasn’t sure how to apply it best so I started with my wet It Cosmetics sponge.  I felt like the foundation completely disappeared and didn’t make any difference on my face at all.  I may need to try it with a dry sponge instead.  I ended up using it with a foundation brush.  This was perfect.  I put on 2 layers of the foundation to get my desired amount of coverage, which is light.  I could have continued to add layers if I wanted more coverage.

The foundation is very thin and liquidy.  It doesn’t take much effort to blend it into the skin.

Verdict:  The Make Up For Ever Water Blend Foundation will be a definite “go to” product for me.  The coverage is beautiful and very natural looking.  I love that it’s buildable.  It can be worn sheer to medium by adding layers.  It’s very lightweight.  I don’t feel like there’s anything on my face.  It works very well on my aging mature over 50 skin.  I didn’t try it as a body foundation because that is not something I wear.

Make Up For Ever Water Blend Foundation is a star in my book!  Have you tried it yet?

*I bought this foundation with my own money.  Affiliate links are used in this post.  That means if you decide to make a purchase I make a very small commission.  I appreciate your support!

    I love their Make Up For Ever Face + Body Liquid Makeup Foundation, and have used it for years, I will definitely need to try out this new, revamped version of it. I never, ever used it on my body either, but loved it for my face! Thanks for the excellent review, Stacie!

      It really does, surprisingly so after the first layer didn’t do much. The second layer was all it took for me to get really nice coverage. Stacie xo

    I love lightweight, light coverage, hydrating foundations and this one sounds great. I’d love to get samples of this to try out, before I commit to a purchase. MUFE is hard for me to find a shade match. 🙂

Once I start talking about something that I’m pa Once I start talking about something that I’m passionate and excited about, I just don’t stop. That’s why I decided to post some long-form videos on YouTube (where I started my journey back in 2010).

I love makeup, skincare and anything beauty. I also love clothes, jewelry, handbags and accessories. That’s what I mostly share over there. 

I hope you’ll join me over there with your morning coffee. I plan to post once a week (on Fridays) for now. 

Let me know if you want the LINK to this week’s video (also link in my profile). I’m pretty proud of it, if I do say so myself.😉

For this week’s video, I shared what I packed in my vacation makeup bag (I kept it extra light) and also few outfits that I wore (most items are on sale).
