Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Blush ($25)
A cream blush that naturally sculpts and highlights the cheeks for a healthy glow.
HD Microfinish Blush combines mattifying and reflecting powders to create a soft-focus effect for a radiant complexion. Its ultra-fine, second-skin texture blends seamlessly, imparting a healthy glow that’s hard not to notice.
My Thoughts:
I’m a hyprocrite. I admit it. After telling so many people I wouldn’t buy it because of the tiny size and the high cost, I caved. After playing with it at Sephora, I fell in love. A little goes a long way and it blends very easily. However, you have to blend quickly because it will set quickly. When you first pump the blush out, it comes out pretty pigmented and bold. When you apply the blush and blend it, the color is toned down and more natural looking. The blush can get heavy if you apply a lot at once. It’s best to start of with a thin layer and slowly build up to the color you’re going after. I love the wide range of colors to choose from. I’m just still debating whether the size and quality of the blush is worth the high price tag.
Edit:
Thanks to MJ for reminding me to mention the staying power. It lasted all day for me.

haha omg you! now you made me want it even more :p I played with them las weekend at sephora, and really liked it too. which color did u choose? I like #7 (quickie)
i was bad and got 2! O.O i got #6 (Quickie) and #8 (PDA). oh schnitzers! am i going to get in trouble for this….i should just ground myself
Blush/ cheek color is always something I have a hard time justifying spending money on. Last time I went for a Tarte cheek stain, because powder blush really doesn’t last on me. What’s the staying power of the MUFE HD?
MJ-
I can’t believe I forgot to mention the staying power. It lasted all day for me.
hahahaha yes #6, not 7. i want quickie too! oh young woman, you are in a lot of trouble now!!! hmpt!
i blame it on the giveaways. i was out looking for a prize at sephora and i happen to try to he HD blush. sephora is an evil evil place
I guess the high price is worth it.
I’m glad to know that it lasted so well! I’m thinking about trying it out on my next Sephora trip (I know it’s dangerous, but still).
MJ-
hahahaha sephora is a dangerous place.
$25 does seem kinda expensive but I could use a new blush pretty soon..hmmm
Do you prefer a brush or your fingers for it?
i use my fingers. the warmth from my fingers help warm up the blush for easier blending.
I want it.. I long for Make Up Forever make up for so long.. but the price is so expensiiiiveee.. !! *crycrycry
I was contemplating if i should get this or the cream blush…. I got the cream blush cuz i just couldnt blend fast enough (n this was on my hand) and i always ended up with a huge blob on my hand!
