The Base Everyone Talks About



The Makeup Forever HD Foundation has got non stop rave reviews in the beauty community. It has also been featured on most 'Holy Grail' product lists that I've seen. Naturally, I've been curious.
While I was here, since it was only available in Mumbai and Delhi and it costs INR 3600, I kept my distance. But then, I decided to add it to my kit.
I have it in three shades, and 153 is the perfect match for me - its so wonderfully yellow (dare I say, almost as perfect as my Armani LSF) and I have used it on every kind of skin you can think of. I've found it sits best on oily/combination skin, but on my mildly dehydrated and acne prone skin, it sinks in and gives me a very natural looking finish.
The coverage of this thing is phenomenal. The picture above is me wearing only the foundation wearing no concealer whatsoever. So you can see how well it covers all my scarring.
In terms of longevity, it wears so well, I find that it looks even better after a few hours - which I didn't think was possible.


Overall, I love it. I love it so so so much that I didn't think it was possible. Infact, this may be rivaling my favorite Armani LSF.

Have you tried this? What are your thoughts?

P.S. This will be a part of a series I've been creating on my blog called 'The Foundation Files'. Anything base related will be found here = )

  1. This is the my next purchase! I tried out a sample from Sephora and it looks wonderful. Although it's a toss up between this, the new NARS foundation and the LM flawless fluide. So confused, haha.

    What are you wearing on your eyes? It looks amazing!

    1. I swear, this is my third try publishing this comment.
      I'm trying to convince myself that I need my own bottle of this stuff - you should get it for sure! And it would win over the NARS because this one has better coverage, I think.

      And as for the eyes - Max Factor Shimmer Pot topped with MAC's Amber Lights!

    1. Its amazing. I didn't expect it to give me such a natural looking finish, I expected it to look blank and matte. But I guess what you put under it matters also?

    1. They aren't? Apparently google wasn't working well, yesterday? Maybe because of that?

    2. I ordered shade 153 in the new packaging today. I have bought 3 foundations without trying, NARS Syracuse, MUFE Y405, Channel Vitalumiere Aqua 50! Hope everything matches me....
