Make Up For Ever Eye Brow Corrector Revisited

Hi girls, I know this is a long overdue post on the MUFE eye brow corrector. A number of you were requesting a tutorial on this, what it looks like on the brows and overall how it works.

I would just like to say, what you will see in this post is how I use it, now this may be different with other make up artists. But I have had a couple of weeks road testing this product, and with the shade that I got, I found it best used with how I will explain in the following.

So, let's go back, a couple of weeks ago I purchased the MUFE eye brow corrector in 0. 0 is the lightest color. Please refer to pictures below:

Swatch on hand

From the swatch on my hand, you can see that it is light in color. The reason why I got 0, the lightest color is because for me, it is the safest color. For people with thin eye brow hair, I can use this color alone so not to overpower their eye brows too much. But for people with thick dark eye brow hair (like me) I find that, I can use MUFE eye brow corrector in 0 as a perfect base and on top I can add my favorite eye brow powder. It's not only easier to apply powder after puttng MUFE, it also helps it to stay longer.

Here's a clear illustration below of my natural brows outlined with MUFE eye brow corrector in 0. As you can see, my eye brows are naturally thick and dark. But amidst that, I still seem to have some sparse areas which is very very obvious if I don't fill in my brows.


MUFE eye brow corrector 0 outlined my natural eye brows and used to also fill in sparse areas. But because 0 is too light for the natural color of my brows, I added brow powder on top of it.


MUFE eye brow corrector 0 used as base and with brow powder on top.

From the second image you can see that when using a brow powder on top of the MUFE it loks like my brows are full naturally when really, those are sparse areas. I really love how the MUFE is working for me since it is a very versatile product.

It really is pretty difficult to groom my brows from time to time because they really are high maintenance! hehe My brows are naturally thick and full with little sparse areas. It is contradicting but I'm glad I found the MUFE eye brow corrector.

So that's how the MUFE eye brow corrector works on and for me. When I use this product on other people, my application differs. If I see that the client has thin hair eyebrows I use the MUFE eye brow corrector alone. But if they are thick like mine, I do the same as how I would do my own eye brows or sometimes, I would just use powder. It really depends. :)


I really love this though, it's so versatile. :)


Toodles! :)

Make Up For Ever Waterproof eye brow corrector

The hardest part of the make up for anyone's face in my opinion are the eye brows. The eye brows are crucial since they can make or break the look. The eye brows help frame the face, ugly/uneven eye brows can break the overall look no matter how good the rest of the make up is. That is why the eye brows are where I spend most time when doing make up for myself and other people. I have been eyeing Make Up For Ever's Waterproof Eye Brow Corrector for quite some time now but they always seem to be out of stock, luckily the other day, as I was having dinner in Serendra, I decided to drop by the MUFE store to check if they had some in stock. Lucky for me they did! :) Without hesitation I got one and couldn't wait to try it. :)


The shade that I chose is 0 the lightest color available.


This is a cream based eye brow corrector and when applied on skin becomes like second skin. Also did I mention that this is waterproof? Yes it is. So no more worrying about unconsciously rubbing your eyebrows and to find out that well you rubbed off too much! hehe This product applies so smoothly on your skin it looks so natural.


Here's a swatch of 0



I chose to get the lightest shade since this can also serve as a base. If i need a darker shade, I can just go over the MUFE corrector with any eye brow powder. It's always easier to darken the eyebrows instead of making them lighter. Another plus with this product is that it can also serve as eyebrow color ala MAC Brow Set. You only need a little drop to achieve perfect eyebrows so this will last you a long long time. Thus, making the hefty price of PHP1,280 definitely worth it, for its quality, longevity and usability. :)

I can't get over how hot it is here in Manila so all the more this waterproof eye brow corrector deserves a spot in your kit!


Toodles! :)
