Make Up For Ever #510 HD Blush
Make Up For Ever #510 HD Blush ($26.00 for 0.09 oz.) is described as “raspberry.” It’s a rich, raspberry red with subtle cool undertones and a satin finish. Chanel Chamade (67) (P, $38.00) is lighter, pinker. Kevyn Aucoin Neolita (P, $37.00) is darker, powder. NYX Desert Rose (P, $5.00) is lighter, powder. MAC Keep It Casual (LE, $20.00) is redder. Chanel Rouge (LE, $43.00) is powder. See comparison swatches / view dupes.
As I mentioned previously, I’m generally a fan of Make Up For Ever, and their newer HD Blush range is one of my favorite cream blush formulas on the market. It feels like a lightweight, thin cream going on but dries down to powder as it is blended into the skin, but it remains blendable even in its “powder” form, which is why it’s so easy to work with. It’s very pigmented, so you can go light or heavy, depending on your preference, though it is forgiving if you’ve used too much. #510 was incredibly pigmented, and it wore well for nine hours before fading but seemed to stain just very slightly (for about an hour and a half after I removed it). You can read my reviews for other shades here.

Another “I don’t like it in the pan but swatched, that is stunning” colours for me! I want to try it!
Seems like that’s a running theme with the HD Blush formula!
OOO this one is goooorgeous! I thought it’d be much darker, but swatched and on you it’s really beautiful! I’m trying to hold back on purchasing more cream blushes because I already have a handful, but I might have to take a look at MUFE’s offerings.
Worth checking out, at least 🙂
This looks so beautiful! But I hesitate. On sephora.com, it says this blush is “formulated with the perfect balance of oils, waxes, and powders”…which is a big “yikes” to me since I have oily skin. But it didn’t feel waxy or oily to you?
Nope – it dries down to powder pretty quickly (but it remains blendable)!
I love this blush formula so much! First experience with creams. And I agree that the colour is forgivable even if you apply too much; it blends away so nicely that I can just do that if i’ve applied excess.
Right? I’m impressed by the blendability PLUS pigmentation. It’s so key when a product is richly pigmented!
It is. I don’t like how sometimes a blush is so pigmented, i apply too much by accident and then the only solution is to wipe/wash it off.
I am really looking forward to getting these brushes on my next trip! They have been consistently rated well by you and thats good enough for me to indulge! 🙂 This color is so natural on you!
Haven’t had a bad one yet! Some wear a little longer than others, but they all wear nicely and have good color payoff.
I’ve mentioned this before, but I absolutely love this blush shade. 510 looks incredibly naturally on me even though I’m fair. Glad to see it earned an A+ grade from you! It’s well-deserved!
Yay!! 🙂 I love when others are in love with formulas that I am! It’s like reassurance for some reason.
I’m still on the hunt for Blackcurrant 520, but I can’t find it anywhere. I’ll just sit pretty and enjoy this shade for awhile. I always remember how much I love it and why I love it every time I pull it out. You barely need any product to get a great flush!
Love Love Love! ordered online! >3
YAY!
I was thinking on getting a couple of Nars matte multiple just yo use them on my cheeks. Would you say this is a better product for that purpose?
I like these more, personally! 🙂
I think I do too. Thank you, sweetheart!
I have this blush and I agree with the first comment. I hated this in the pan and was disappointed when it arrived. And then I tried it. I’m in love!
So weird, right? At least it worked out 😀
This is the only cream blush I own and it’s beautiful! Now, if I could just take the time to use it more!
I hope you’ll find a way to use it more often, Jenn!
It’s so much lighter than I thought it would be! I’d so wear this! Which is something I’d never say just looking at it in the pan.
They all seem to go on lighter than they look in the pan!
Too red for my rosacea face, but it looks perfect on you!
Thank you, Judith!
I’ve never been one for cream blushes but this shade may change my mind…
This formula is really great, especially for someone who’s not big on a creams, because it really has the best of cream and powder formulas in one.
What a gorgeous blush, would you say this is a spring/fall/year round blush Christine? Thanks!
I think so! It is naturally a more “fall” colored blush, but it can be sheered out and looks just as good year-round.
It seems like all of MUFE cream blushes look different in the pan lol. I totally wasn’t expecting this blush to look like this but I love it! It’s a really beautiful color!
They do!!
I love these and love how blend able and natural they can/do look, just wish they hadn’t replaced the liquid blushes with these.
They are pretty distinct from the original HD formula!
Yes they really are which is why I wish they kept the original and just add the new one to the line.
These are defiantly easier to work with but I loved how intense the original liquids were and some of the colors.
I have this in 410 Coral, I believe, but I may have to pick this one up as well! So stunning – I was a little afraid of it in the pan.
What are you pairing with #410?
Since it’s so bright, I typically go really neutral with the rest of my face.
The last time I wore it, I paired it with a matte neutral eye (my go-to is a super-subtle smokey eye using the UD Naked Basics Palette – W.O.S. all over the lid, Naked 2 in the crease & Faint in the corner), with Stila Smudge Stick in Damsel along the top lash line, and a little mascara. I skipped the lips (just a lip balm).
This whole line weirds me out in a good way. Every post, I look at the colour in the pan and kinda grimace a bit and then scroll down to see it in action looking perfectly wonderful on you.
Right? I think it’s perhaps some of the depth gets lost when it’s totally solid, you know?
This looks like it might be a great fall and winter shade for me! I’ll have to keep this in mind in a few months when the seasons are transitioning!
Hopefully it works for you in the fall, Erin!
This shade looks so intimidating to wear particularly since I have fairer coloring! Love the formula though 🙂
It’s so blendable, you could totally wear it on fair skin!
Just looking at the pan I wasn’t interested but it looks beautiful swatched!
These are all so much better applied!
I have this and like it a lot!
Yay! What do you pair it with (eyes/lips)?
Just. Stunning. 🙂 For someone as translucently pale as I am, I am oddly, SERIOUSLY attracted to these really deep, ruby blushes. I like how this one has a certain coraly warmth to it, too.
What’s great is that it’s really forgiving and easy to blend, so even on your super fair skin, you could rock it!
Could these cream blushes be used on lips?
I don’t think they’d be very comfortable as a lip product since they dry down to a powder finish!
Or do you have something in your mind with the similar color but in the form of lip product? The color is really stunning!

I know I’m the odd man out here and no offence, but I don’t care for that shade on you. It seems to clash with the lip color. Maybe that’s it – just my personal preference. Love the lip color though!
Sorry to hear that!
