MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Skin All-in-One Palette

This is the first time I've purchased a Make Up Forever product. I can do my makeup with just this one product, and the color is great, so I'm glad I bought it.

I bought this at my local Sephora a month ago, so I'm writing my review. It's perfect for any occasion, with no wasted color. I love the texture of NARS's Soft Matte Complete Concealer, and this product has similar coverage without feeling heavy. I'm a dark, cool-toned person, so it's great that it also contains bronzer. Even lighter shades can be perfectly suited to dark, cool-toned skin by blending in the bronzer. It's highly acclaimed overseas.

I've been spending more nights away from home, so I bought this to reduce the amount of makeup I carry around. It's a little heavy, but it's made my luggage look much slimmer. I melt the foundation a little at a time with the heat of my fingers and apply it to my skin, then blend it in with the 112 brush, using a light touch so it doesn't move. The cream has a light texture, and when applied thinly, it barely feels heavy. While it doesn't seem to offer much coverage, it creates a beautiful, natural look. I apply the shading to the areas I want to shade (or shave) in the same way as foundation, then lightly blend it in with the 112 brush. I take the blush and pat it on with my middle and ring fingers. It seems best to layer it little by little. The same goes for highlighter. Finally, I lightly apply HD Skin Twist Light with a large brush for a beautiful, radiant finish. *Cons* It tends to smudge easily in the summer (even when combined with a strong-setting powder). The foundation is too dark for my fairer skin tone. (I like the feel and convenience of this product, so I bought a separate foundation palette of the same shape and replaced it with a lighter shade.) Having foundation, highlighter, blush, and shading all in one is incredibly convenient. I recommend it for those with normal skin tone who want to reduce the amount of luggage they need to carry as autumn and winter approaches!

It's a little drying but the coverage is excellent. However, I wasn't impressed with it for the price.

This was my first time purchasing a Make Up For Ever product. I can do my makeup with just this one product, and the color payoff is great, so I'm glad I bought it.
