The Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Stick is not a brand new product, it made it's first debut in 2015. This foundation is lighter and more invisible than the original HD MUFE foundation but still covers absolutely beautifully and is so gorgeous that it even looks flawless in 4k technology (which, uh, yikes! will soon be on all of our cell phones)!!
The official description of this foundation is:
As the original pioneer of the HD makeup category, MAKE UP FOR EVER continues to redefine and elevate beauty standards with the launch of its new ULTRA HD FOUNDATION, the first and only foundation designed for the demands of 4K technology. With 4K technology, the next generation of digital devices will display images with unbelievable detail, stunning clarity, and heightened color than existing HD technology. Completely invisible under the latest, ultra-magnified resolution, these innovative foundation formulas look completely natural on camera – and to the naked eye.
To keep complexions flawless at any resolution, MAKE UP FOR EVER developed ULTRA HD FOUNDATION’s revolutionary 4K Complex. This innovative formula is enhanced with:
• Amino Acid Coated Pigments—reflective particles that blur flaws and provide translucent, invisible coverage
• Hyaluronic Spheres—hydrate and plump the skin for a longer, more comfortable wear
• Sericite—a fine grained mica that adds light reflecting properties to create a radiant and luminous effect, mimicking the vibrancy of naturally beautiful skin
• Hyaluronic Spheres—hydrate and plump the skin for a longer, more comfortable wear
• Sericite—a fine grained mica that adds light reflecting properties to create a radiant and luminous effect, mimicking the vibrancy of naturally beautiful skin
As a result, ULTRA HD FOUNDATION provides complete, silky coverage while staying even more invisible, feeling even more comfortable, and looking even more natural.
The next generation of MAKE UP FOR EVER’s iconic HD Foundation is optimized for the digital lifestyle, offers nearly double the original HD Foundation’s shade range and is available in both liquid and stick formulas. The perfect everyday foundation, ULTRA HD LIQUID FOUNDATION is available in 40 shades and provides medium coverage with a natural finish in a lightweight, oil-free formula. As an alternative to liquid for a flawless complexion and also ideal for touch ups and contouring, ULTRA HD STICK FOUNDATION is offered in 15 shades that blend beautifully onto normal to dry skin.

MY THOUGHTS:
This foundation is AMAZING. It does everything it says it will and lasts on my Sahara-dry skin perfectly. It is super lightweight and covers my rosacea very well. I would say this foundation is medium coverage with a natural finish.
I will say I always have to set this foundation with some type of powder, which I really try not to do, as I will do almost anything to not look matte. I have mixed a very VERY small amount of beauty oil with this foundation (applied to my skin prior to foundation application) and my boyfriend came up to me the first day and told me I was glowing. YES. PLEASE. I also use my sigma foundation brush which I find gives me the best coverage.
If you are a beauty lover and have the budget for this foundation I would absolutely give it a try. I am very interested to try a few of the dupe products I have seen floating around online, but I've learned that with foundations, high end is usually my go-to.
XOXO,
