Questions & Answers for MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Microfinish Powder

Question
HD Microfinish Powder or Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil?
I'm looking for a powder that absorbs oil and minimizes pore. I've tried both powers at Sephora store on the back of my hand and I think the HD micro powder feels more silky. I have fairly toned, combination skin with larger pore on my nose, so which one should I buy?

Hmmm, it sounds like you were describing my face/skin, girl! LOL
do not worry that the MUFE powder is a bit more expensive.... it is sooooo worth it! I have been using MV for years, and I an very glad that I switched! Absolutely no comparison! An older associate at the store was trying to convince me to stay with MV... but I am in my mid-30s , not in my 60s, and the combo skin is still really rebelling against me. To cut a long story short, give it a try, you could always bring it back.... but you won't, because you are going to LOVE it!!!!!

I would recommend the HD powder over Mineral Veil (especially the feather light MV) because the MV adds too much shine; MV contains corn starch which can cause breakouts, and it also seems to accentuate dryness.
HD powder is very fine but doesn't seem to cause so much of a mess because the sifter contains fewer and smaller holes that allow just the right amount to come out. It also creates a smoother finish than MV.

MUFE is better than BE. I have very oily skin and this leaves nicy finish. A little goes a long way and it helps the skin look great. I still have some BE powder, but I don't use it. It is true for me that with BE, I have to apply over and over.

I own both products and can honestly say the HD Powder is the better choice. It does a better job with reducing oil, and has a smoother consistency. I would visit a store and sample both though, as this is only a personal opinion. Hope I could help!

I have both as well. I remember in the BE instructional video where they say you can apply the mineral veil powder very liberally - well that is because you have to. I always ran out of that stuff first. The HD powder gives that same softened matte look with less product (in fact, I wouldn't overdo it) and in much less time. I don't have to buff much, just put it on and go. I also feel that this smooths on better so I don't look over-powdered.

I used MV for years and was very happy with it- that is until I tried HD microfinish. I cannot speak to shine control, as i do not have oily skin. But I can say that HD gives my face an extra smooth finish, silky, and flawles. I still have a TON of MV left and use it on days when I don't care about looking my best- cause I dont want to throw it out.

I have both products and actually used the HD Microfinish Powder the most. I feel it soaks up any shine. I usually don't put it on right after my make-up application, but wait a little. My bare minerals always tends to add a shine to my face throughout the day/night. I wish they had a pordable one of these! Sometimes I still do see shine later in the night after using this product so I usually just blot with a tissue or toilet paper.

In Dec. 2008 this came in a kit with the Make Up For Ever Kabuki brush and that brush is the most amazing brush! It really helps with the application of this. I have the Bare Minerals brush collection and my favorite brush is still the kabuki from Make Up For Ever. It's on the Sephora website. http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P217908&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=4028.
It really is the perfect finishing brush because it applies the powder perfectly. If you buy the HD powder buy the HD Kabuki brush!!!

Question
before or after applying bronzer, blush, and eyeshadow???
Okay first of, i LOVELOVELOVE this powder. Im fair skinned, and severly lacking in the cheekbone area, so i always have a difficult time applying bronzer and blush to simulate a bit of definition. Now i know that applying the HDpowder over your foundation is the reccomed way-as it sets the foundation, hides pores, and makes a beautiful smooth canvas so that bronzer/blush goes on smooth, and not too blotchy (another issue i fight with!!!) But.....unfortunatly i find that applying blush/bronzer, even eyeshadow too boot, over the veil of HD, literally comes off in a matter of minutes. So now u may understand my dellema. With the eyeshadow, i tried doing foun, and conceal; then HD-and tried to use an eyeshadow base on top of the HD-and it was a BIG mistake! The eyeshadow base (Benifits lemonade) went on all cakey, and blah. So Id greatly appreciate any advice!!!!!Thanx gals

I do not have a problem with my eye make-up coming off.
after my foundation/powder i use a bit of this all over my face. But i focus on my cheeks, nose and forehead.
then i apply eye make-up and so on.
then when im done done i go back over with a little powder and hit the same areas. cheeks nose and forehead and down my neck with this..

this stuff is really great. i think you should check the eye make up you use.

For your eye makeup, I highly recommend an eye primer. Urban Decay is very popular and I happen to like it too (beware the main issue with this is waste because of the shape of the packaging, not all comes out). I tried benefit and did not like it as well. The eye primer allows your eyeshadow to stick to something (the primer) that's sticks to your eye. So no cakeiness or creased. Plus it makes it last longer too.
I don't do bronzer, so I can't help you there. I might suggest doing the microfinish over the bronzer to soften if there is blotchiness.
hope this helps!

it's really not a big deal at all..as long as you don't plan on travelling around with it (cos then obviously the powder will spill out of the sifter and fill the lid and spill out of the lid and etc. i like the packaging it's quite convenient. and really you don't need to take this everywhere with you, as long as you're using it with a good primer, foundation, and makeup-setter then all you'll need throughout the day is 1 or 2 oil-blotting sheets.

it should come in a package similar to sephora's luminizing powder - with a built-in brush. This packaging is bulky, doesn't come with a brush, and once you open it, you have to be careful to not have powder everywhere!

Well, a couple of things that to me really aren't an issue: The sifter os white and the powder is white, so I guess for those who have trouble seeing, it could be a hassle. Also, the powder tends to puff right out of the sifter if you just stick your brush it without paying attention.

Use a very small amount since this setting powder is concentrated. I use a large powder brush with this. If you can see some of the setting powder on the brush before you apply it on your skin, then you are probably using too much.

I use a brush to apply my HD Microfinish Powder but I dip the bush in just a little corner of the pot and then holding the brush up, I tap the handle on my counter to knock the powder down into the bristiles of the brush and this works for me. It doesn't make a mess and you can get enough in the brush to do your whole face so it save alot on the product by not getting it every where.

perhaps, put a paper plate under the jar when you open it and use the slight bit that drops to swirl into your brush .

Same thing, if worried about bacteria.. don't use the lid, use a separate plate or small bowl to dispense the product to swirl into your brush. Most make up artists use a separate palate for cleanliness and mixing colors.

I don't think there really is a way to stop it from spilling, you just have to be really careful, and tap it a little, to make all the excess powder go down, and make sure to clean off the sides after each use.. And use the excess powder on the sides before dipping your brush into the center. Hope this helps a tleast a tiny bit. :)

I had the same problem at first. I hate to say it, but I actually had to start using a smaller tipped brush. Tapping the top of the pot just makes the build-up get worse, so I just keep mine sitting upright because it is so light & airy. I only tip the end of my brush in the pot once, then use the lid to swirl the brush in and tap off the excess. I always have some left in the lid, so I just tap in back into the pot. I can tell this will last me for a year or more. I love this powder! Hope that helps!

Oops - I typed a previous review that said "not at all" - and what I meant to say is that it does NOT clog pores and is fine to use on acne prone skin types!

Question
Oily Skin/Retouching
I would like to purchase this product to set my liquid foundation, prolong its coverage, and keep my oily skin at bay. I was wondering how long this product keeps your skin oil-free (or semi oil-free)? I would like to not need to retouch with this powder for 6+ hours. Would this control oil for 6 hours? Would I need to retouch with this?

I have very oily skin and if I apply this over my mineral makeup in the morning, my face stays matte and fresh for about 8 to 10 hours, depending on weather conditions and my activity level.

I wore this for about 12 hours at an outdoor BBQ in the middle of summer with my Make Up Forever foundation, and neither even budged. This product is the best finishing powder I have ever tried, I think you would be just fine for 6 hours!

It is good for any skin type or colour. While the powder looks white it is a translucent powder.
It will not add any pigmentation to your skin - just finish your look - seal in your foundation, mattify and blur imperfections.

I think that if you use it over foundation that it is supposed to work. Since I'm not African American, I can't say for sure. On my skin, which is light to medium. I notice no color change over my foundation. I think this is in part due to the sheerness of the product.
