a little expensive, but good products
-06.16.13
Quick Take: good value, full size, good products, high quality
I splurged on this not knowing if I'd like MUFE products - it's my first time using them. Overall I've been quite happy with them so far. The brush is now my go-to - it's really soft and well-made, and works great with all of my powder products like blush, bronzer, and setting powder. The foundation matched my skin well and doesn't feel like heavy coverage (which I don't like). I also liked the setting powder, although I really have to blend it well to avoid getting a white residue. Overall I'd say this is a good way to start out with MUFE products, especially because the sizes are generous, but it's a little too expensive if you're on the fence.

Great Coverage & Long Lasting!
-06.12.13
Quick Take: good value, full coverage, long lasting, quick & easy application, very light & natural feeling
Best foundation I have ever used! I have a very uneven complexion and acne and with other products ended up with cake face trying to cover it up - with this I don't even need concealer when applied with a foundation brush (the Sephora brush is great and reasonably priced). Also with acne prone skin this product has not made me break out at all and a good value since a little (two pumps) goes a long way. I wear makeup 5 days a week and this kit has lasted me for over 3 months now. My friends have also complimented me on how great my skin looks since I started using it - unfortunately I have to break it to them that it's all smoke and mirrors haha.

Quick Take: good value
I got 118 and it was a little yellow for my taste. I have oily skin and the powder didn't help control my oily skin as much as the bareminerals mineral veil. However, the brush and primer are amazing!
I'd suggest going to a Sephora store and finding your shade first. If you don't have oily skin, this is a great deal!

The foundation is good. The rest is totally unnecessary. The primer is inconsequential. The powder only succeeded in giving me a chalky face.

I've been using the HD foundation for a while, but really wanted to try the powder and primer with it. I cannot believe how well they work together. Talk about flawless. I love the little brush, too!

Love this!
-06.01.13
Long lasting, doesn't look cakey! A tad bit pricey but I guess for the quality and quantity it's worth it. I definitely recommend especially because you need very little, if any touch ups throughout the day.

If you have very dry skin stay away. I read so many good reviews, but it was not for my skin type.

Easy Foundation Application with Brush
-05.25.13
A MUF rep showed me how to apply the liquid foundation with the kabuki brush by dotting on the face (with finger) then swirling with brush quickly. I've avoided using liquid foundation for the longest time because I didn't want to apply with fingers and get all messy. The result was very good even though the brush was intended for the powder.
Just be careful of the color selection. The very knowledgable rep matched me to #120 (light med w/ yellow) even though she said I have a neutral tone. I am more #118 (neutral) or #117 (lighter). The description on the website is more accurate and you know your coloring better than what the store lighst portray you to be.
It seems without a primer, the color can oxidize and turn darker. Or maybe it was time to do a masque. But all foundations seem to do that.

So glad I tried this!
-05.18.13
I've been wanting to try this product for some time and when I saw the kit with the primer, makeup, finishing powder and kabuki brush all in one, I had to get it and I am so glad I did!
This foundation gives just the right amount of cover without being heavy. The finishing powder sets it perfectly.
Extremely pleased and you will be too!

i wore this for the first week my face so looked flawless i would get compliments on my skin but then i noticed it started to break me out a little. i kept using it until it literally started to burn when the product touched my face ): i don't have sensitive skin this is the first time my skin has reacted to foundation that way. I reeeeeally wanted this to be my holy grail foundation, hopefully this product works out for other people.

This stuff is amazing. I use shade 110; I'm a very pale lady. This is the only foundation I've ever found that actually matches my skin tone. This kit really evens out my skin and lasts all day long. My face looks healthier and luminous with this. It really is worth it. The primer makes the foundation feel so much better, and the powder helps keep it on all day. The brush is so soft, and doesn't break out my sensitive skin. Such a great deal..

Quick Take: good value
The foundation is true to its HD claims of giving a flawless finish but the longevity is limited. I have oily/combination skin and my face is shiny after about 4 hours of application. This is despite using the enclosed primer and powder. The brush feels soft but is not great for powder application because it is synthetic. There is nothing special about the primer except its soft floral smell (which I do like). There is a good color selection and I got a color that matched my skin perfectly. Overall, this kit is worth a try and may work great for special occasions where you have time to reapply, but not practical in terms of staying power. I was slightly disappointed.

Best Starter Kit!
-05.09.13
Quick Take: good value, great coverage
I have to say this is one of the best "Starter kits" I have seen! The foundation is wonderful! Great coverage with a light weight feel. I use it daily and it lasts me a long time, one pump should cover your entire face. It comes with a primer which is a must have! Goes on nicely but does take a bit to dry, so make sure you let it set before you apply the foundation.The kabuki brush is awesome and super soft! It also comes with the loose setting powder which is my favorite product. It will set your makeup so that it wont melt. This would be a great gift for anyone that does not already own these products or a great travel set. Best value, and best products! Love love love this!

Quick Take: good value, natural, beautiful
I'm always looking for foundation that made me look natural, this is one of them. I am medium color with yellow undertood and use N127 for the center of my face and N153 for around and this creates a perfect skin color match. This kit is a success for me and worth buying it.
