Foundation-- MAC or Makeup Forever?

What's your vote on which is better for the wedding day? 

Re: Foundation-- MAC or Makeup Forever?

  • I love MAC. It's one of the few that actually cover up my under eye circles (that or clinique) 
  • It really depends on your skin and coverage.  I used to use MAC foundation, but switched to HD foundation from Make up Forever.  I like both products, but found that for me Make up Forever was not as heavy as MAC.  I know that if you buy Make up Forever at Sephora, you can try it and return it without and problems.  You might just want to try them out and see what works better for you.

  • I've tried both and prefer Make Up For Ever HD.  It photographs beautifully and looks very natural.  It's available in lots of shades.  When used with primer and setting powder, it lasts a long time too.
  • I agree. I switched to make up forever a few months ago and I love it. It doesn't feel heavy and goes on so smoothly. And it looks amazing in photos. I use primer and a setting powder and I don't have to retouch it at all.
  • As a make up artist, I prefer MAC foundations and Makeup Forever powders. I find that MAC has better buildable liquid coverage, but that they're powders are a bit heavy and you can see them a lot more than MUFE, which blends it a lot better.

    Hope that helps!

    I was going to say the opposite! I love my Makeup Forever liquid foundation more than any other I've tried, but I love MAC mineralize skin finish (natural) powder. OP, I think you just have to try them both and decide what works best for you!

  • Make up forever is better, in my opinion!
