Some Make Up For Ever Swatches

Friday, May 10, 2013

I was recently reorganizing my Stila and Make Up For Ever shadows in my palettes when it dawned on me that I never swatched the majority of my MUFE shadows. I've reviewed a couple here and there, but felt like I should probably do them all properly.

Some of the pans pictured are Stila, pay no mind to them. I just didn't want to pry all the MUFE for the sake of photographing them separately. You know how dangerous shadow pan removal is, it never goes perfectly without a nick or a ding somewhere.

The neutral shades:

From left to right: #125, #162, #164, #169, #33, #170.

#125 is a satin light peachy beige. #162 is a warm matte tan. #165 is a matte brown, the only one whose pigmentation is only so-so. #169 is a dark shimmery graphite, slightly blue. #33 is a matte blue grey. #170 is an ultra frosty icy light blue.

The bright shades:

From left to right: #171, #83, #92, #58, #133

#171 is a satin bright lime. #83 is a shimmery blue teal. #92 is a bold matte purple. #58 is a matte dark magenta. #133 is technically a blush, a super frosty light pink.

Both #92 and #58 stain quite a bit, but #92 is the worse offender.

The pigmentation for all the MUFE shadows I have encountered thus far has been really great, with the exception of #165 which is just ok. I really love my MUFE shadows but they are quite expensive at $21 each so I don't really purchase them any more, I find myself preferring Inglot or La Femme. If I used them more, I could probably justify the purchase but unfortunately I rarely reach for most of the shades.

Have any favorite Make Up For Ever shades?
