If you like light weight, breathable foundation that leaves your skin semi matte to dewy then you will love this foundation. It does have buildable coverage from light weight to medium. I love that it doesn’t smother my skin an leaves a natural looking finish.
The photos I’ve included are not filtered. They are to try to show you the before and after of my hand with one layer of the product. As you can see, it blends very well with a nice light coverage. I do recommend letting the product sit on your skin for 30 seconds or so to “warm up” be fore you blend it in for the best finish. I used a Morphe M439 to blend this out.

Review for: Y325 Flesh more...
I have oily skin and am very prone to acne. This foundation is the only one I wear on a daily basis. It is very lightweight and breathable. I prefer to use a beauty blender to put this on because I find that it leaves no streaks. I find that it leaves a very dewy, natural-looking finish, although I usually go in with a bareMinerals Mineral Veil Finishing Powder to mattify it. I know a lot of people have said this but THIS IS NOT A FOUNDATION FOR COVERAGE! Although, it can be built up to cover red spots or blemishes.
Review for: R210 Pink Albaster more...
First of all, this is by no means a full coverage foundation. It isn't even a medium coverage foundation. Some bbcreams will have more coverage. But if you're looking for a "your skin but better" type of foundation, this is absolutely perfect. It covered what I needed it to cover, built up a small amount to hide any red spots, but didn't completely camouflage my freckles or gather into my pores. I gave it a 4 out of 5 only because of how thin it is. My brush and sponges soak it right up, but it blends nicely with just fingers.
Review for: Y305 Soft Beige more...
Let me start off by saying that if you’re looking for a medium /full coverage foundation, this is not for you! I was on a mission to find a light foundation that would do just a touch more than tinted moisturizer would. This MUFE foundation is it. It’s so light I can’t feel it once it’s on. My skin has a nice even coverage and a great glow when I wear this. I just look more awake and it feels amazing. It only takes 2 pumps to cover my face. I also struggle finding foundation that’s a good match for me, but not with this. You honestly can’t tell I’m wearing it. It’s similar to the Bobbi Brown skin foundation but even lighter and a little less expensive!
Review for: Y215 Yellow Albaster more...
This is my current go to foundation! The formula is extremely liquidy so be careful when pumping it out, and make sure you shake the bottle before you apply it. I have combination skin and it is perfect for me. It does not catch on dry patches and does not come off on my oily t zone. I highly recommend this foundation if you like light coverage.
Just want light coverage? Then grab this! Sometimes there are days where I don't want to apply makeup but if I don't I will look dead or tired. I use this water blend foundation because it is light and it gives my skin a healthy glow and it looks so natural. MAKE UP FOR EVER Water Blend Face & Body Foundation
Review for: Y305 Soft Beige more...
When I bought this product I was looking for a natural finish foundation. Since I love Make Up For Ever's Ultra HD foundation I thought I couldn't go wrong with this product but this formula didn't work well for my skin. I have combination skin and in my drier areas it look really flaky. For application it was very streaky with a foundation brush. I prefer to use a beauty blender with this product but it absorbs too much of the product. This foundation looks beautiful when you first apply from afar but up close it highlights my pores. Whenever I want a lightweight coverage I gravitate more towards my BB creams over this foundation.

I have combination skin and this foundation is good for a dewyish look it is very lightweight as well great for a summer foundation for everyday basis it doesn’t have much coverages but does the job you can get a more matte finish if you bake your whole face and you won’t shine as much even if you oil a lot
Review for: Y215 Yellow Albaster more...
Seriously hated this foundation..it's completely pointless to buy. It's like it's way to watery. I get the point of it but you literally look like you didn't put anything on your face..I've used a brush and a sponge and they both make it look the same..no use in buying this at all. Waste of money.

I use to love this foundation! I used it in high school everyday! The only problem is the price. It’s so lightweight on the skin because theres so much water in it. Even with that much water it still has amazing coverage and lasts a long time on the skin. It had such a natural finish on the skin!

Is coverage buildable?

Since it's WATER blend, it's very thin and, well, watery. It's harder to get buildable coverage compared to thicker foundations but if you really try you can get it up to at least medium coverage.
Best method of application? I've heard controversial opinions on both beauty blender and brushes. Please include if a certain primer or setting powder / spray has helped. I'm looking to use this for being in costume all day without slathering product on my face.

I get a pretty flawless finish with a stippling brush, dabbed on then swirled to blend. Since this foundation is water-based, I actually use Smashbox Primer Water. The two tend to work together well.
I properly color matched myself to flesh... When I put it on it seamlessly blended in with my skin, after wearing for about 20 minutes, I had an orange tinge to my face - and no it's not bronzer (thought it might have been so I tried the next day with only foundation and same results) anyone else have this problem??

You may not be matching the foundation properly. After a few minutes, makeup oxidizes once you apply it to your skin. If this foundation is showing up orange then it probably has the wrong base undertone in it. You may need the same color with a different base tone/tint. Also, this product may work better for your body than face. I tried the MFE face and body foundation and wasn't such a fan. If you are looking for a more natural lightweight foundation for your face I would suggest the naked foundation. It mimics skin and looks very natural.
I heard people talk about this saying this makes their skin look flawless. Any thoughts?

used with a good primer it does last all
day and makes skin look flawless. it is a sheer but buildable coverage.
I have recently purchased this foundation and I love it. However, due to the runny texture of it, I have yet to find a perfect way of application to minimize the streakiness. What's the best way of applying this product?

Put in on the back of your hand and use either a beauty blender or a stippling brush, but this foundation's coverage is super sheen, literally little to no coverage. I prefer no makeup if this is all the coverage I can get from this. I have imperfections so I love full coverage foundations.
