MAKE UP FOR EVER just released a new and improved version of its famous Face & Body foundation called Water Blend Face & Body Foundation. I’ve been a huge fan of the brand’s Face & Body and HD foundations. When I learned about the reformulation, my initial reaction was “why?!” The original formula works perfectly for me. And we all know that most of us end up loving the original formula more than the new one. BUT “water blend” in its name got me curious! So, here’s my MAKE UP FOR EVER Water Blend Face & Body Foundation review.

I wish MAKE UP FOR EVER Water Blend Face & Body Foundation…

  • has good oil control. I start to get greasy after 2 hours.

Tips on MAKE UP FOR EVER Water Blend Face & Body Foundation

  • For those with oily skin, use a good oil control primer.
  • I prefer using my finger, stippling brush, or oval brush when applying this foundation.
  • Use powder foundation to set if you want more coverage.
  • If you need to refresh your makeup at any time, just apply a small amount on areas that need hydration.

MAKE UP FOR EVER Water Blend Face & Body Foundation Verdict

MAKE UP FOR EVER Water Blend Face & Body Foundation is definitely an improved version of its iconic Face & Body foundation, which is silicone-based. It can be a little too hydrating for those with oily skin though, but a good oil control primer and setting powder can do the trick. I don’t mind blotting because of its amazing finish!

I strongly suggest MAKE UP FOR EVER Water Blend Face & Body Foundation to those who like the dewy, natural finish that feels very light and breathable. It is just like second skin!
