In make up for ever's defence this was designed for HD filming and not photography so they never said "looks amazing in photographs" but clearly the proof is in the pudding and this stuff doesn't look good.

Remember that i used a LARGE amount, so when a small amount is used - as the company states - this result does not happen.

Does this mean that this powder is not good? No. It's a great powder but one that you should be careful of when you use for flash photography if used to heavily.

I used the same amount of product (ish) with both the HD powder and the Super Matte Loose Powder. The Super Matte Loose left no powder residue at all, just normal looking skin and I used a very light (nearly white) shade.

So, what d'ya think? Do you feel let down? Do you love this stuff? Tell me your thoughts.

NOTE: I applied this to Mandy and friends on many many occasions and they all loved it. So I guess, to each his/her own. Some pictures where taken and no white marks were visible - but remember i applied a very small amount. No heavy application like in this video.

Sometimes the most beautiful makeup doesn't last as long and i think accepting this rather than trying to fight it goes a long long way to getting great results!

p.s. - How unflattering was that photo! Still wanna marry me now? Ha!

double note: I have been asked this now too many times so i'll answer on here. MAC's Prep and Prime powder does not leave the same tell tell sign behind as HD powder. I tested it also but forgot to mention in my tutorial. Sorry!

  • HAHA... yes... still wanna marry you =p even more for every video i watch!

  • oh wow!!! shocking!! mystery solved! now i know why nicole kidman has very noticeable powder under her eyes!!!

  • @ihateyuma he said in another video that it happens if the powder has 100% silica. so it can probably happen to other HD powders depending on how much silica is in it.

  • This happen to me! I wish MUFE would state this, Atleast in their ads. I bought this because, the rep at sephora and misleading MUFE ads.

  • I wonder if this happens with NYX HD or ELF HD powders?

  • you remind me so much of Jude Law!

  • OMG! Thanks for making us aware of this. I love photography and I'll make sure to keep your advice in mind.

  • Woah. I did not expect it to be that harsh! Thanks for this video!!

  • @dandanchicken SAME OMG
