MUFE Aqua Creme - Outdoor / No Flash / Overcast

Today I have a lovely swatch of the Make Up For Ever Aqua Creams I own and love!  From left to right we have #8 ( a metallic, rusty, slightly tomato-y red ), #15 ( a bronze with a chocolate base ), #13 ( super metallic and shimmery champagne with a hint of peach ) and # 2 ( taupey goodness with a pewter finish )

These pots of awesome were purchased at Sephora, but you can also purchase them through the MUFE site as well.  $23.00 USD will get you 0.21oz/6g of product!

All of the aqua creams have amazing lasting power.  I have only experienced creasing under very hot temperatures and humidity.

These colors have a an extremely short "play time".  You will have great results when you work fast.  It took me some time to get it right, but once you do, its heaven :).  

Out of all of the shades above, I use #8 as a cheek color as well.  Not all of the brights in this range are as crazily pigmented as this red, but they are all still worth checking out.  The range has good to amazing pigmentation which is nice for a quick wash of the cream on the face.  I have found that when I layer the cream, it can get grabby in certain areas and will look chunky.  Layer this thinly and quickly and you are set.
I have used them together but prefer not too as when they set, if you did not previously blend any harsh lines out, you tend to get "stuck" with them.  Quick blending is the key to these amazing creams.
