Come late 2014/2015, all the cosmetic companies started making those liquid-y, serum-type foundations (like Giorgio Armani Maestro, Bare Minerals Pure Brightening Serum Foundation, and Loreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder Foundation, to name a few). They utilized new technology to make a runny, watery liquid that then turned to powder. I tried many and never liked these foundations because they lacked enough coverage for me.
Another problem: MUFE did not recreate all the original shades in the new Ultra HD formulation. I wore N120 in the original HD Foundation, and the company says the match in the new formulation is Y245. They admit that this is not an exact color match- the Ultra HD is slightly lighter in the bottle, but then after a few minutes when it dries, it gets darker. I thought the color match would be a disaster, but I think I was overly alarmist on that front. The new Y245 is fine on me. Here are swatches to compare:
Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, PEG-10 Dimenthicone, Neopentyl Glycol Diethylhexanoate, Talc, Mica, Phenyl Trimethicone, Sodium Chloride, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Lauroyl Lysine, Glyceryl Caprylate, Methylpropanediol, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Myristoyl Glutamate, Chlorphenesin, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Fagus Sylvatica Bud Extract, Sorbitan Sesquileate, Hydrolyzed Yeast Protein, Propylene Carbonate, Aluminum Hydroxide, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Fragrance, Butylene Glycol, Benzyl Alcohol, Pentylene Glycol, Benzoic Acid. May Contain: Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides.
Overall the MUFE Ultra HD Foundation is a nice foundation, but at least for my skin, is not as good as the original because it is drier and more matte looking, and does not have quite as much coverage.
FYI I also reached out to Make Up For Ever directly to see if I could buy any back stock of the discontinued HD Foundation. I will update the post if I hear anything back. So far the closest dupe I have found for the original MUFE HD Foundation is Nars Sheer Glow Foundation (I wear shade Deauville).

When creating a multi-color eye look, cleaning your eyeshadow brush between every color doesn't make sense. Fortunately, there's a tool for that. Alison Raffaele Tatem, a makeup artist based in New York City, says you can swipe your brush against a textured sponge to remove powder between shades.
