HD Skin - Undetectable stay-true foundation

First to Worst

I hate the new line entirely; it looks horrible on camera and makes skin look so dry, and it cakes on pores, making them more noticeable (my last artist was furious about the new line). The HD stick was fantastic, medium to full coverage, but now, all they want is a clean line. Goodbye. I need something for on-camera work. I could give a rat's rear if it is clean. It is makeup; it will never be natural.

Wonderful product

Great stuff. Just a little bit provides superb coverage that lasts

Marvelous

Matches my skin tone perfectly. Light and flawless.

Big disappointment

I’m reviewing my purchase of this foundation from June 2022 to be fair. It was when they had the big reforestation from the cult classic one they used to have. I ordered the same shade, undertone, etc. as I always had and it was much more yellow than the old formula had been. The consistency was thinner and runnier, it was not the same foundation I had once known and loved. The bigger problem was that I had put my faith in them so much that the first time I had used the new formula was my wedding day. As you would imagine I was freaking out and very scared as to what I was going to do, because I didn’t have time to go out and buy a different foundation. But with a few different mixes of colors I made it work. But you better believe I have never picked it up since. *The reason I’m so late on this review is because I just found out they had deleted my original one.

Camera-Ready Skin, No Filters

I rarely say that a foundation works perfectly in real life and on camera, but Make Up For Ever HD is exactly that product. The first thing I noticed is that skin still looks like skin. The texture is lightweight and seamless — no mask effect — yet it evens out the complexion beautifully and makes the skin look smooth, fresh, and well cared for. On camera, the result is outstanding: the face looks clean and balanced, the skin tone is even, no texture is emphasized, no heaviness or flatness. What really impressed me is that this foundation doesn’t “eat” the face on camera. Instead, it preserves dimension, structure, and natural freshness — which is crucial for photos and video. After wearing it, the face looks polished, confident, and camera-ready. For me, this foundation is a true professional staple — reliable, elegant, and incredibly photogenic.

Terrible new formula

After using the matte velvet foundation for over 10 years, very disappointed in this new formula. The shade that compared to my old shade is so far off and foundation is very watery. Does not cover well at all.

Poor replacement for the Ultra HD Foundation.

Sadly, this product does not come close to the Ultra HD. I do not understand discontinuing a great product. This foundation has at least 50% less coverage, does not pass the all day wear test and after trying four shades still no shade match. I am sure it's fine for some people but you've lost me as a customer.

Pls bring back the old formula

Cakey and oxidizes…the new shades don’t match and the formula is not at all like the ultra HD one which I used for 10 years.Pls bring back the old formula and shades…!

I use it EVERYDAY

I love this foundation ive never had such a correct shade match. It is super versatile from everyday to night out to photoshoot glam. Find out your correct undertone as well! Can be glowy or matte depending on primer and what you set it with. I do suggest a gripping primer matte or glowy whichever you prefer bc it can become slippery if the enviroment is too hot.

Love

Love this formula long lasting and skin like feel.

Beautiful, Amazing Foundation!

This is one of my top matte foundations and I have already been through 3 or 4 bottles of this over the last 3 years. It works great in the heat, does not melt of my face, and keeps my T-Zone looking good throughout the day. I have 6 different foundations and this one comes in third place and I hope they never change the formula! I have combination skin dry cheeks and oily T-Zone, but Skin Prep is Key! I do a lot of hydration prep, sunscreen, and then foundation. My first right now is KVD Apple Serum Foundation, 2nd is Estée Lauder, 3rd is Makeupforver HD Skin, 4th is Fenty Foundation, 5th is UD Bond Foundation, and last but not least is Anastasia's New Foundation-It's THICK, I have to add One Size thinner for it but I love the color match and wear.

Best looking skin

I used to use a different make up and decided to give this one a try. I live in South Florida so it’s hard to find a make up that stays on with all the heat humidity and sweat. Not only did I find this to be very long lasting, but it made my face look and feel very smooth and not dried out. Definitely going to be my new go to.
