Review: Make Up For Ever PRO Finish Powder Foundation #117
You know how my skin is actually very
sensitive is when…well, you see it yourself that I rarely do product reviews
for complexion product! But today, I’m gonna review one face product, and it’s
a base makeup (how awesome is that thing to work on me?) Like finally, I found
my HOLY GRAIL powder foundation!
It’s from Make Up For Ever, and I believe
this product has entered our beloved country Indonesia as well, that’s why I
eager to review this right here right now, to ensure you this product works the beautiful it claims to work.
Description
(from sephora.com )
What it is: A multiuse powder foundation with a patent-pending formula that can be applied wet or dry for buildable coverage and a customized finish.

What it is formulated WITHOUT: - Parabens
What else you need to know:This product is dermatologist-tested and suitable for all skin types.
Separated
For Good
It comes in a round compact packaging. Size
is good, it’s not too big but not too small either. The overall design is sleek
and professional looking.
The compact has a decent size of mirror
and is separated into two parts: the upper part has the powder foundation and
the lower one houses the sponge applicator—with some holes to let air go
through and through. It’s good for hygiene reason!
Upgraded
Version: Proved!
As for what the creator Danny Sanz claims,
this powder is an “upgraded” version to those former powder foundations she
created. This product is the latest version of powder foundation MUFE has,
after 4 years have passed since their last foundations. Mine is shade #117
Golden Ivory, for shade reference please click here as I won’t talk much about
it here. It's also formulated WITHOUT Paraben, how cool is that????

If you have tried the previous Duo Mat
foundation like I have before, your first impression of this foundation won’t
be so special instead of you hating it. Seriously, I’ve been through that
phase. Trying this product more will let you to know why it’s beautiful on its
own way—the way people also like it to be, or simply to say “less is more”.
The creator Danny Sanz used less talc in
this foundation for a less cakey feeling and finish on our face. And yes, that’s
what it is. I’m not literally a sponge person as I prefer using kabuki/flat top
brush to apply my powder foundation when it’s possible, and using brush to
apply this foundation seems to give no effect to my face. Imperfections are
still shown through the thin layer of foundation, and eek it doesn’t cover any
pimples but only redness! I swear I almost threw this product right away because
it was a total disappointment to a girl who’s very fond of Duo Mat. But
today I’m glad, I didn’t.
The coverage is very buildable even though it's pretty sheer in one swipe, but it
also depends on the applicator you use. If you’re using sponge applicator, it
would take less time to gain the desirable coverage, and of course using brush
would take more time. As I go through and through some layer—probably 2-3
layers using flat kabuki brush—I almost didn’t realize when my face turned out very healthy, not dead matte,
and very…PURRFECT? I don’t have
perfect skin until today, but let pictures show you what I mean:

See my point there?
IT
DOESN’T CAKE EVEN YOU LAYER IT THROUGH AND THROUGH, please refer to
the side of my nose! No traces of powder there, eh????
How
I Would Have My Perfect Skin Like
It gives an airbrushed look just right
away—a thing not even my beloved Duo Mat can do. Duo Mat may have better
coverage, but nothing can beat the finish of PRO Finish. Don’t believe me? This
is a much zoomed in photo after using it more than 4 hours, outdoor, while me
running a bazaar with my friends at a food stall:

| p.s: NO MAGIC CAMERA/BLURRING!!! |
This foundation feels very lightweight on
skin too because it contains less talc in it, yet it doesn’t happen to clog
pores which leads to the pesky acne. It can be used in wet/dry, but I use it
dry until today because I don’t want to ruin the whole product just by letting
water go in. Meh. Even to use it dry…it still blurs any imperfection to pores
level, and no dead matte finish—I would say it has satin finish!
My teacher, my friends, my family were
asking what clinic I’ve been visiting lately and admiring how “porcelain-beauty”
my skin was. No kidding!
For the staying power, it lasts on my face
around 3.5 hours before it starts to let some shine through, and of course a
lengthened time with primer underneath! It doesn’t fade and oxidize through the
day, even I read some people were having trouble with oxidation.
Repurchase
With No Questions!
Retailing for $36, it’s actually not very
expensive if compared to what you will have. Beside, every product has 10g of
it and it’s quite a lot when it comes to powder foundation. No questions and
regrets, I will definitely repurchase this again and again. And today, I’ve hit
the pan. Just few months to go before the repurchase!
Score
Last Words?
It’s definitely a
holy grail. Using it dry is the way I prefer; you can set and build your
foundation that way, still! Even you might want to take a look at some reviews
or some shades yourself before finally placing an order. The shade selections
may turn people on or off since getting wrong or right shades is only a line
thin, but the quality is worth more of what you could expect—unless you’re a “heavy
cakey makeup lover”.
So! Have I ensured
you enough? Tell me about your thoughts in the comment section below, I’d love
to hear from you. XOXO!
