Now I Understand Why Everyone Loves These MAKE UP FOR EVER Products

Who else is loving the Pamela Anderson no makeup era? I am.

I found it so inspiring that I tried it for a whole week only to realise that as liberating as it feels, (and I’ll definitely circle back), I also really love makeup.

GOOD makeup.

You see, my short-lived Pamela Anderson bare-faced era was quickly halted after trying the new MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Skin sculpting palette (my holiday season calendar also had other plans - it’s filling up fast) that everyone is raving about.

And now, I totally get the hype. Just look at the glow it gave me on my full face of MAKE UP FOR EVER products.

And ICYMI: Everyone is obsessed with MAKE UP FOR EVER again. I know, I know - most makeup and beauty lovers never stopped being obsessed.

A staple in many makeup artists' kits, their high-quality and high-performing products are what's made them so loved for the last 40 years.

Especially their cult HD Range.

If you’re looking for an excellent full coverage foundation that isn’t too much, the best all-in-one cream blush, contour and highlighter palette as well as a brightening full coverage concealer (It’s almost party season - of course you are)  - MAKE UP FOR EVER has created them all.

One MAKE UP FOR EVER palette was made so famous by the popular ‘Hailey Bieber makeup routine’ (a must if you want to create a glowy summer makeup look) that they decided to create one with the most gorgeous warm, universal shades.

And as a contour novice let me tell you -  it’s one of the most amazing palettes I’ve ever tried.

After putting the whole MAKE UP FOR EVER HD makeup range to the test I can confidently say: they're all amazing.

If you haven't yet tried any products from the MAKE UP FOR EVER HD range -  your makeup is suffering, trust me.

Here they all are…

MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Skin Foundation.

What: MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Skin Foundation

Fast facts:

• Has a satin finish that’s not too dewy and not too matte - just right.

• This long-wearing liquid foundation comes in 40 inclusive shades.

• Has a new and improved formula that offers medium to full coverage with a natural finish.

• Is sweat and water-resistant (can vouch this is true - I wore it all day in Sydney humidity).

• Is non-comedogenic so won’t clog your pores.

Renovated to be even bigger and better, the cult make up for ever hd skin foundation is one of the best full coverage and longwear foundations I’ve ever tried.

It’s one of those full coverage foundations that still looks natural, still makes your skin look like skin while masking any imperfections and leaves you with a flawless finish.

You can read my full review of the foundation here (and peep the insane before and after video of one TikTok user where it completely masked her pigmentation in one sweep).

The perfect foundation to get you through the party season (think: after work drinks, Christmas parties, weddings etc.) if you require all-day, budge-proof wear - add this to your cart right now.

And don’t worry, I’ve done the wear test in the review above; no caking or fading here folks!

Drink, be merry and still have your makeup on all day and night!

MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Skin Sculpting Palette.

What: MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Skin Sculpting Palette

Fast facts:

• The perfect all-in-one-palette that lets you conceal, contour and highlight your complexion.

• Is exclusive to Adore Beauty!

• Its 6 concealer shades, 2 contour shades and 4 highlighter shades make it perfect for underpainting. 

• Creamy, blendable textures that deliver a glowy, skin-like finish.

I’m going to make a big call and say hands down, the MAKE UP FOR EVER HD skin sculpting palette is one of the best makeup launches of 2023.

After everyone became obsessed with the first MAKE UP FOR EVER HD SKIN ALL-IN-ONE PALETTE thanks to Hailey Bieber’s glowy makeup routine, the brand launched a sculpting palette that quickly won over - well everyone.

The travel-friendly palette houses the perfect mix of warm, bronze and latte shades (in fact you can see how BIQ writer and makeup artist Dalal used it as part of her ‘latte makeup’ look) you could dream of in one palette.

After reading Dalal’s article and seeing the below video of Australian content creator @elizabeth__cee I couldn’t wait to try it:

I used all three functions, a contour shade, a bronzing shade and then highlighted and oh em gee. So so good. Just look at how amped up the glow is:

The creamy textures melt into the skin beautifully and are so easy to work with (they also work and warm up nicely with fingers).

For someone like me who finds contouring intimidating, this no-fuss palette is everything I need in one compact.

It truly is the most wearable palette! If you prefer the Hailey Bieber MAKE UP FOR EVER palette (with pink and peach shades)  you can get them here:

MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Skin Concealer.

What: MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Skin Concealer

Fast facts:

• A buildable medium to full coverage concealer that won't cake.

• Long-wearing, suitable for all skin types and has a lightweight texture.

• Is infused with jojoba oil, hyaluronic acid and snow mushroom extract. 

• Contains coated pigments that neutralise discolouration.

If like me you have genetic dark circles and a light to medium concealer wont cut it (especially during party season where let’s be honest, concealers are often the first thing to start sliding off) the HD concealer is here to do some heavy-lifting for you.

Similar to its foundation counterpart it offers medium to full coverage and makes light work of blurring and smoothing our really dark circles.

I found the shade '3.2 Y' was a perfect match for my skin tone and it also felt comfortable to wear on my sensitive undereyes passing the all-day wear test with an A+.

Trust me, once you try a MAKE UP FOR EVER HD makeup product - you’ll be a loyal customer forever.
