Make Up For Ever Artist Face Color ($23.00 for 0.17 oz.) is available in three types–Highlighter, Sculpting, and Blush–with a total of 34 shades available.

Some of these “S” colours look like blushes to me (214 especially, and 502). The other day, when you posted groupings of all the colours, I was surprised to see a colour that looked very much like a pale, ivory highlighter grouped in with the sculpting/contour powders. And at the time, I wondered if the numbers and shade descriptions were mixed because that shade – very light – was described as a warm tan or something like that (I’ll have to go take a look). Looking at these swatches, #404 seems to have a weird and uneven texture.
Okay, I went back to look at the original photos you had of all of them, along with arm swatches, etc. This will be confusing but on THAT original page from a few days back, the pan photo for S112 isn’t anything like the one here or like the arm swatches. It looks quite pink in the pan but is described as “shadow sculpt” and looks more dark beige/light tan on the arm swatch (nothing like the pan), while H102 is described as “shimmering pink alabaster”, which is how it looks on the arm swatch also but the pan photo shows something dark beige/light brown – more like S112. So I’m wondering if the pans were switched in the photo. If you’re all still with me – hard to follow, I know – you’ll see what I mean if you look at that last grouping of the pans.
To me all the shades, pan, and swatched look as they should. Maybe it loaded odd for you? The S112 here looks like the one on sephora’s swatches and site, and H102 looks like i expect it to from sephora’s swatches too. S214 does look more like a blush but under the whole sculpting scheme it makes sense since its been known to use blush in various techniques to give the face shape. MUFE tends to keep it true to the books, not with trends.
IDK, I like some of the colors, but many of these sculpting powders look dry, not smooth. I don’t sculpt much, so I’m planning to use them more as blushes, and they might be fine over primer and foundation
Oh, I can see several nice ones that one could use for “draping” as opposed to the trend du jour of: highlight, blush, contour as has been in recent years!
These do look more like draping shades than contouring shades.
After reading your comment I had to check what drapping is… So apparently I have been using the “drapping” method my whole short makeup life. Lool!
These are a nice mix of contour and draping shades.
Oooh, their is potential here! I really hope they perform good ?
Some look like bronzers and others like blushes and a couple of patchy ones too. I like how MUFE is catering to a wider range of skintones with their shades.
I’ve got to admit that I am confused about the classification of some of these shades (and I get the “draping” look).
Since I prefer some of the ‘S’ colors as blush over most of the ‘B’ colors, my question is “Is there is a difference in formula between the two categories, B and S or is there a reason, beyond shade, that MUFE classified the B colors as blushes and the S colors as sculptors?
I’m really looking forward to the review! 😉
