Make Up For Ever’s Water Blend foundation is the ONLY foundation I use whenever I do underwater shoots. I depend on it so much I am so scared to finish a bottle so I always have backups in 3 shades (for mixing).
After years, Make Up For Ever released a new tint called WaterTone Skin Perfecting Fresh Foundation.
NOTE: Water Tone does not replace Water Blend but I find the texture and consistency to be similary thus doing a side by side review for those who own the Water Blend.

With the given situation, I haven’t tried this new foundation underwater but I did the water test (face washing). I’ll tell more about my review as you read further down. But here’s a swatch on both Water Blend and Water Tone.
As you can see, Water Blend is more “watery” while Water Tone has thicker consistency. Still water-like in terms of application and blendabilility. Both are easy to work with.
I’ve done a quick video for you to see the difference on my IG page.

I used to use the MUFE Face & Body in my kit, and was devastated when they discontinued it and replaced it with the Waterblend. I know they advertised it as being the same, but I didn’t find it to be anywhere near as good.
ReplyDeleteI’ve gotten used to the Water Blend, only to find they have discontinued it again, and I am almost at the last of my stash. I use it in my kit all the time for film and TV work, and find it great for evening out the skin tones and use it in male grooming a lot. The watertone looks like it is a lot thicker? How comparable would you say it is?
You know what? Both Face and Body of MUFE is totally different from WaterTone. I just compared it based from it's coverage and texture. they are quite similar in that department but Water Tone is In NO WAY the newer version of Water Blend. I am not sure why they discontinued Water Blend but so far, I haven't found any replacement for it. Water Tone is more of a daily foundation - light in texture yet has more coverage as compared to Water blend.
DeleteThanks for that, I appreciate it! I have no idea why they discontinued the Face and Body, OR the Water Blend (especially so soon after it ‘replaced’ the face and body. So frustrating. Honestly I feel like I should try to find a replacement in a different brand, because I don’t trust them not to do it again. There really was nothing else like it 😩
DeleteDon't quote me but maybe not enough sales since there are only a few who would do underwater shoot or anything that needs waterproof. And a lot of makeup brands can offer that nowadays. I get you though as I totally trust Water Blend, I did an underwater shoot for it though I had to do so many layers for coverage but it STAYED!!!! Nice to meet you by the way
