Make Up For Ever Water Blend Face and Body Foundation Review



Since Make Up For Ever came up with their Ultra HD foundation, I've used it a lot of times on both myself and clients!  But there's one foundation from the brand that has been calling my name for attention --- the Water Blend.

Why Water Blend?  Because Scuba Diving and Underwater Shoots are the "in" thing nowadays!  I've had queries about underwater shoots so many times I knew I had to pack a "waterproof" makeup kit sooner or later!  

Since the Water Blend foundation was highly recommended by my make up artist friends, I picked one up and gave it a test so many times!  I've took a shower with this, I've washed my face with this, but the ultimate test day came when I did an underwater shoot with the Scuba Studio Team for an underwater shoot.

I picked my shade Y225 and here's the swatch.

As for application, I prefer to apply using my fingers first and gently blend out with a foundation brush.  The foundation is water-based so it gets absorbed easily to the sponge if you use such tool.

Before and After

AMW says ---

  • Water Blend foundation has a texture of a water.
  • Gives off an even skintone with glowing effect.
  • Coverage is light, so you really need a separate concealer and need to layer this foundation more than usual.
  • Can be used on both face and body.
  • Indeed waterproof, even under waterproof!  This foundation did not cake or crease even used on chlorine water (pool!)
  • Problematic skin may have a hard time using this as coverage really is super light!  Best to use a separate concealer.

Here's the underwater shoot I recently did with the Scuba Studio Team .  The Model was in red bathing suit!  She has done so many layouts and her whole makeup was still intact.
