Make Up For Ever: Flash Color Review

Make Up For Ever Flash Color

What is it? A Complete coverage, special effect cream color for your face, eyes, lips, and cheeks.

What does it do? A must-have for any professional makeup artist, these thick creamy colors flawlessly cover the skin and can be easily shaded together to obtain a wide variety of effects, depending on the quantity applied. Use to create special effects with color like decorative designs on the face or body. They can also be used for face painting on children. Retail cost $17.00 USD.

I was first introduced to the Make Up For Ever brand last year, when I purchased a very sticky lip gloss, that I absolutely hated. What do they always say about first impressions? They mean everything! Well, my first impression on this professional makeup brand, was not so good, and I never looked back until now!

I was at my local Sephora, and the beautiful stunning colors caught my eye immediately. So, I decided to give them another chance! And, boy was missing out. Not, only did I discover how beautiful the Aqua Eyes eyeliner was, but, the Flash Color hit the jackpot.

Flash Color is a new product from the Make Up For Ever line, and is available at Sephora. It can basically be used as anything! Face, lips, eyes and cheeks! It's so versatile, and you know me, I'm all about versatile beauty products. The color pay-off is absolutely fabulous, and the fact they stay on forever, blows my mind away. I'll give you an example of how powerful the staying power is. I had to scrub and scrub to get the swatches off my arm.

Here are the colors that are available now at Sephora.

Just look at the color selection, it is amazing! I'm all about color, so if you love color, this product is definitely for you. As far as a eyeshadow creme base, this blows Urban Decay Primer Potion and MAC Paint Pots out of the water completely, as far as color creme bases. Unfortunately, my Sephora didn't have all the colors that I could swatch, but, was able to come out with a few. Check out the photo swatches below.

The colors I picked up are Coral 2, Gold 4 and Copper 19. Sephora didn't have any other colors I wanted, thank goodness! Because, I would of came outta there bankrupt, literally. Coral 2 is a very beautiful color that most of us will find appealing. Gold and Copper are the perfect colors for summer, espically if you love the gold and bronzed look. I really wanted to get a green color but, these were flying off the shelves.

All in all, there is two lessons I've learned from my experience. Lessons that you should follow throughout purchasing beauty products and in life generally speaking. Firstly, don't judge "products or people" by their first impression, because you could be missing out big time. I've sure you've heard the ole saying "Don't judge a book by it's cover", well listen to it! It's not an old folks tale for nothing! Secondly (not a lesson really), these are an amazing product and I can't wait to stock up on more colors!
