Makeup Forever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation #review
I know I am late to the game with the Makeup Forever Ultra
HD Invisible Cover foundation. I did try the original HD foundation a few years
ago and wasn’t a fan. It clung to my dry skin and texture so bad, I wasn’t in a
hurry to run out and buy the new Ultra HD formulation. But I got a sample in Topbox a few months back and well
it set me in such a tizzy, I had to go get a full sized pronto.
Makeup Forever revamped
its cult favorite HD foundation with the Ultra HD Invisible Cover foundation.
The Ultra HD is made to look invisible to 4K technology and the naked eye. The
Ultra HD Invisible Cover foundation comes in almost the same bottle as the HD;
glass bottle, silver trim (vs black), black pump and cap. I love that the cap
snaps back on really snuggly. There is something so satisfying hearing that
snap when you put the cap back on. Is that just me? Plus I still get the
giddies when a foundation has a pump. This should just be mandatory!
Texture-wise
the Ultra HD formula is quite different from the original. The Ultra HD is much
thinner and liquidy. Makeup Forever has 40 shades of the Ultra HD Invisible
Cover to choose from. 40! It was a little overwhelming so I went in to Sephora
to be colour matched to Y245 which is a pretty good match for me. All colours are
identified with a R (red) or a Y (yellow) indicating the undertone. I didn’t
notice any discernible scent to the Ultra HD at all.

The thinner consistency of
the Ultra HD Invisible Cover foundation makes application so easy. It takes two
pumps for me to cover my face. I used both a sponge and a RT buffing brush to
apply. Both worked great with this foundation. The coverage is medium at most. I
could still see some of the melasma around my mouth and freckles on my nose showing
through. So if you are like me, melasma and freckles, concealing will be a
must.
The finish is a demi-matte. It was so lightweight and left my skin
feeling hydrated, I couldn’t tell I had foundation on. It also didn’t enhance
my pores but it didn’t completely blur them out either. Nor did it sink it any of my fine lines (hello forehead). It just leaves your
skin looking like skin just better.
The Ultra HD lasted maybe 7 hours for me
before it wore off in a few places. Mainly above my eyebrows. I tend to scratch
at them during the day. I notice I do that when I am at work. They call it my
WTF face. It seems to happen a lot. I do set my concealed areas (under eyes and
nose) with a loose setting powder which definitely helped the longevity factor.
Thankfully, I don’t really get dewy during the day but I can thank my dry skin
for that.

$52 is lot for me to spend on a foundation. So I have to love it
before I commit to it. And I love the way the Ultra HD Invisible Cover
foundation looks on my skin. Love it. It keeps my skin looking hydrated (but
not dewy) and is so lightweight that I find it a great foundation for someone
with dry skin. It blurs out most imperfections and doesn’t cling to dry areas and
it doesn’t make my shitty textured skin look worse. I have had so many
compliments on how nice my skin looked in the last two weeks, it make me a believer. Would I buy it again? You betcha!
