It was the most prestigious thing I could do back then, and certainly can use it now …

They have spared no expense in their packaging and the Cheek and Eye Quad I received, as well as the Lip Gloss Duo Compact, were simply elegant and beautifully designed; not to mention the weight of the Lip Gloss Duo…I need to put that on a scale! There’s some weight to it for certain.

Make Up For Ever had me at their gypsy-inspired, customized Spring 2012: La Bohème Collection on packaging alone. I was attracted to both the patchwork design and color choices that mimic the hues inside this limited edition eye palette. One of the season’s most naturally beautiful and wearable trends are soft colors…hence Creator & Artistic Director of MUFE, Dany Sanz, created La Bohème to evoke the feeling of a romantic rebel who wants luminous, fresh-looking makeup.
The La Bohème collection includes MAKE UP FOR EVER’s first baked eye shadow palette ($39.00). This collection …
As the talented Pat McGrath (celebrity and CoverGirl makeup artist) said, “I love that CoverGirl Blast Flipstick Lipcolor empowers everyone to create their own signature look every day.” Well, who doesn’t want to have makeup artist tools at their disposal?

Walking into their Chelsea space in NYC made my mouth water. All I could see was color, tables upon tables of lipstick, eye shadow, face powder, nail polish, etc. in almost every color, plus this holographic-like lip gloss that made my heart beat even faster.
