I thought I was the only person in the Universe who didn't like it either! I just didn't like the texture - weird and watery - and find it "flat" and very basic, nothing like the promised Holy Grail...
Mine has been untouched for mths. It kinda sucks the colour out of me. I got caught up in the hype! In fact I think I even bought a back up - hmm guess what my Mum's being treated to tonight!
Is your skin on the dry or oily side? All the reviews I have read recommend it for those who have oilier skin. I really want to try the mufe hd but I'm doing pretty well with my current foundation and don't want to risk it.
I love this foundation! Although maybe because I am a MUA and can work it? I find with this you will need a bit of slip to get a good finish, so primer is essential if you have dry skin. Then it's a matter of using tiny quantities and really spread them out. Being an HD foundation it's trying to emulate "normal" skin, which isn't shiny or dewy - it can't be either or the camera will pick it up without a problem and will look completely unnatural.
Maybe the colour was not right. and I must admit the texture is really tricky to get. You have to try a few way to put it. I like to put little and work it really quickly with a foundation brush. It took me a while to like it as well.
I agree and disagree with you BBB! I think it can look really obvious on and make skin look really flat in 'real life', but like Laura I use it for work and it is incredible photographs/on film, maing imperfect skin flawless!
The first time I used it on a shoot I thought it was going to be rubbish because I could see it on the skin and it looked dry (unlike MUFE F&B), but the model's skin looked amazing in the shots!

You are not alone! I hated it and returned it to Sephora after a few days of trying it. It's awful. Too watery and just DULL. I looked like a corpse:)

It's supposed to be that way. It is designed for HD film, not for daily wear.

I agree! I also found the same with MUFE's Microfinish powder... sucked the life out of my face and left me looking like a ghost!

I didn't like this foundation at all! Thank you all--I thought I was crazy!!
Agreed! Great for my work, but awful on me!!
