Make Up For Ever will be launching these new products next Thursday, August 9th at Sephora stores nationwide. I have been a fan of many of their products and was excited to sample the new Aqua Rouge Waterproof Liquid Lip Color ($24.00), which is a liquid lip color duo that provides smudge-proof, long-lasting wear in 12 highly pigmented shades ranging from soft beige to bold berry; numbers 1 Nude Beige and 9 Burgandy are sampled from this collection. I love that you top the color with the transparent gloss for …

This ultra-creamy, moisturizing lipstick collection provides light coverage with an overall soft, shiny finish. Available in (get ready for this) fifty(!) luminous shades and three eye-catching finishes: satin, iridescent and diamond — the extensive range in hues will provide an individual with the ability to have a lot of options to choose from.  They can be worn alone, or, for added drama, you can layer them for a multi-dimensional look. For a perfectly structured and refined lip, apply Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Natural with MUFE Lip Brush #3N …

If you haven’t noticed already in the trailer, there are some distinct looks that are sure to catch your attention; whether it be Katniss’ smooth, perfectly contoured complexion or Effie’s bright eyes and powdered white face applied with Elizabethan precision, these looks are going to have us makeup mavens here at BeautyStat guessing which products were used.

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 …

Smoky is back and hotter than ever. Thanks to Make Up For Ever, as usual, for upping the ante when it comes to the lash effect.
The brand’s fall 2011 smoky offerings include: the Smoky Eye Palette, Smoky Lash mascaras in vibrant, wearable colors and Kohl pencils. Below I’ve reviewed two Smoky Lash mascaras (in #05 Blue and #04 Green); and the Kohl pencil in Pearly Deep Blue.
The Kohl pencil is a fabulous tool for the smoky eye effect because it blends very well all over the lids. Below, I’ve just …

If you think your eyelashes can touch your eyebrows just from using a new mascara, think again. Read the small print on some of the ads saying that lash inserts were used.
For all the people who look up to these beautiful images seen in magazine ads and on larger than life billboards across America, I can tell you first hand that lighting and retouching play a very large part in creating these images. I have witnessed great makeup artists do incredible work right in front of me yet I know …

For those of us who hate bleeding, feathering and everything else that accompanies the lip line area, Make Up For Ever has an antidote.
The Colorless Anti Feathering Lip Pencil is a Lip Line Perfector: you draw an invisible contour around your lips (using the same technique as though you would use using a regular lip liner) but because of its properties and the ingredients (beeswax, ceramide, elastomer of silicone, and high molecular hyaluronic salt), the lipstick does not bleed through the lip contour and get messy.

Does it work? Well, yes …
