- Perfectly. (fingers snapping)
- [Woman] All right.
- Smashed it.
- Hi, everyone.
Welcome back to the Adore Beauty YouTube channel.
My name is Megan.
Hopefully, you know me by now
'cause I've been on a bazillion videos.
But, today, I'm also joined by the amazing Ruchi.
- Hey guys, my name is Ruchi
and I'm here to try out four popular foundations
from Make Up For Ever.
- So I really love a lot of the products
that we're talking about today.
And I've also got quite a lot of experience with them
because I stock a lot of these in my own personal
makeup kit.
But, Ruchi, I know that you haven't tried heaps of them.
- I haven't.
This is gonna be a first impressions for me
for a few of these.
- So we'll be running through them all,
but Ruchi is going to be showing you on her amazing skin
what they look like.
- So, I was actually a bit of a nerd yesterday, Ruchi,
'cause I was, like, when did Make Up For Ever even start?
So they've actually been around for over 30 years.
- Really?
- They have actually.
When was 1984? - In 1984, yeah.
- 84, 95, 2000.
Yeah, over 30 years. - Wow.
- So they were founded by a makeup artist
who never intended to be a makeup artist.
So, her name is Dany Sanz or Dany Sans.
I'm not 100% sure how to pronounce her name.
She was basically an artist.
She was painting one day and someone asked her
if she could help out with some makeup.
And she was like, "No way, I'm an artist.
I'm not into makeup."
Anyway, she ended up getting roped into it.
And when she saw her creation on stage
on the beautiful performer's face,
she fell in love with makeup.
She didn't have the products that she needed
to be able to create these beautiful artistic pieces
on the performer's bodies,
and that is how Make Up For Ever came about.
So I'm basically a historian now in makeup brands only.
- My kind of history.
- So all of the foundations that you're gonna be hearing
about today retail for $67.
They are a, I would say, like, more of a
mid to high-end makeup line.
But with saying that,
what you're paying for is absolute quality.
So, to me, it's worth it.
All right, Ruchi.
So, I think- - Let's do this.
- The first we'll talk about is the kind of hybrid duo
and that is the Make Up For Ever Ultra HD
liquid foundation and foundation stick.
These were pretty much formulated
to look like your natural skin
both to the naked eye, as well as HD cameras.
So, if you're going to a special event
or you know that you're gonna be photographed,
this is a really good option.
- I would say that the coverage is buildable.
You could get these two from a sheer foundation
to a full coverage glam.
It's designed to look like skin, an enhanced skin.
- If you're applying it with like a buffing brush,
it'll probably come out as like a medium coverage.
If you're stippling on, then you're probably going to get
more of a full coverage.
But, if you're applying it with like a damp beauty sponge
and you're applying a really light layer,
then you could also get a light coverage.
So, whilst these are really similar,
I would say that the stick is slightly less malleable
because it is more of like a cream consistency.
I would say that this is really great
to pop in your makeup bag.
It's really travel-friendly.
This is really great if you wanna spot conceal
because it does have that slightly thicker consistency.
- Yes.
- That's kind of the difference between the two.
They're a great double act, though, I would say..
In the ultra HD range,
they have 45 shades of the liquid foundation.
- Wow.
- And they have 20 shades in the stick foundation.
So not as many in the stick foundation
but it's still a really nice offering.
- I will start with the Ultra HD liquid.
Oh, I'm gonna probably start with a brush.
- That's the new spectrum collection as well
that we just got in
and I'm loving this buffing brush.
- Yeah, the colour scheme.
I actually always apply foundation directly from the hand
and then I just buff it in.
So we're gonna see how this applies.
- Oh, that looks so nice.
- Such a satin finish, isn't it?
- It is, yeah.
- This looks so pretty.
- I would definitely say that if you've got oily skin,
you might need to powder this slightly
wherever you get more oily.
And if you have dry skin, I would say, just make sure
that you pop a really hydrating primer underneath.
- I gonna use the stick foundation now to spot conceal
and show you how it covers.
So, I'll just swirl a little bit onto the brush
and I'll just pat that in.
And it covers really well.
And you can sort of just drag that out as well
just to blend it in with the rest of the skin.
- So you can use that as an all-over foundation as well,
but, the finish is quite similar to the liquid formulation.
So we thought we'd just show you how it can double
as a consumer.
- Flawless. (glitter sound)
So I'm using the shade, Y445 in the stick foundation
and then I'm going in with the shade Y463 in the liquid.
(air swooshing)
- Ooh, wooh wooh!
Love it!
- The sass.
- So, the next foundation that we're going to talk about
is Make Up For Ever REBOOT.
So this foundation basically aims
to give you a real radiance to the skin.
So, if you've been feeling a bit dull,
then this is your guy.
- Should I use a sponge or brush for this one?
What do you think?
- You actually could use the sponge for this one.
'Cause it is, yeah, it's good
because it's got that light to medium finish.
- I'm gonna do it on this side
so you can see the difference.
- How are you liking the coverage?
- The coverage is really nice. It really binds to the skin
and gives you that really beautiful dewy glow.
- So I can definitely see that on the left side
of your face, that has got more of like a satin finish.
Still has a bit of a glow to it, but it's a lot more satin.
And then I can see that the right side of your face
is glowing, radiant.
- I feel like for my ultra glam looks that I like to do,
I reckon I would opt for the Ultra HD liquid foundation.
On the regular day-to-day running errands
and anything like that, I would go for the REBOOT.
- Are we the same person?
'Cause I was literally, that is my exact same opinion.
- Yeah, I think what I love about this though, is,
if you wore it, people wouldn't think you're wearing makeup.
- [Megan] No. - It just almost,
it's like you're having a really good skin day.
- You look so good.
(Ruchi giggles)
I don't think I've ever seen your skin up close.
Like, you just have such a nice glow, yeah.
- Thank God.
Yeah, because I like we see each other at nighttime.
- At events, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Or we can't see each other cause we have-
- Ruchi and I are both short-sided.
- Yeah.
- We've seen each other at events before
and we'll just walk straight past each other
without realising.
(Ruchi and Megan giggling)
So, last but most certainly not least,
we have the Make Up For Ever Matte Velvet Skin.
So, this is amazing for anyone that has oily skin,
that loves a matte finish,
and is really looking to diffuse any shininess
throughout the day.
You've taken off the left side of your face?
- Yup.
- Which was the Ultra HD foundation.
So that we can show you the difference between the REBOOT
on the right side of her face,
and then the Matte Velvet on the left side of her face.
- I'm gonna go in with the shade, Y425.
And, again, I noticed that the coverage
is there straight away.
It's probably medium to full, do you feel?
But, yeah, that's pretty decent coverage.
Like, I have a bit of, I have pigmentation here.
So it definitely did a really good job
of covering that without being too fake.
- Yes. - You know, not too full.
- Beautiful.
Ooh!
I actually really liked the matte on you as well.
- Do you love?
- Yes, I actually do love, like you can see the difference.
- Yeah, right, from matte to- - This looks airbrushed.
- I feel like if you had a decent moisturiser underneath,
if you're on the drier side,
this would be pretty comfortable to wear.
But, combination to oily skin,
you would absolutely love this.
- Is it really lightweight?
- It's really lightweight.
It feels really good.
- I would definitely say these three are like the long haul
type of, if you've got an event, they're awesome.
This is also really great,
but, because it does have that radiance in it,
if you have oily skin, you might find that your oily areas
do need a bit of touch-up
or some powder throughout the day.
That's the only drawback.
Do you have a favourite?
- Yeah, I was gonna say my favourite.
- Who's favourite child?
- I'm gonna go with the Ultra HD liquid.
It's just, it's an OG.
It works.
It's so beautiful on the skin.
It ticks all the boxes, really.
- So, as I'm a makeup artist,
I can't really choose a favourite
'cause I literally have them all in my kit.
So, this is my favourite for combo skins
or for anyone that wants a little bit of glow,
but still wants a mattifying effect through your T-zone.
This is my personal favourite for anyone that has dry skin.
And this is one that I often wear if I've got
like a daytime event.
So I still have that nice medium coverage,
but I'm still really glowy.
This one is for all of my oily skin gals and guys out there.
Has an absolutely beautiful finish as you've just seen
on Ruchi, but, it still is really light on the skin.
- Let me know which one you guys like the best.
