Anyone that's looking to try this foundation out....Disclaimer: The foundation does "oxidize". It is Medium Coverage, but buildable. If you wear Shade 520G Nutmeg in (Huda Faux Filter Foundation) then Shade 31 is your best way to go in order to get that slightly cool , but golden undertone to pop. This foundation reminds me so much of the (Sephora 10 Hr Wear Perfection) as far as pkg wise. I honestly have found my new HG when it comes down to this foundation. Like it's legit the real deal. Anybody with dry skin probably would wanna moisturize real good. Combination skin: Make sure you get those T-Zones mattified for sure. Oily Skin type: For the love of God make sure you use every mattifying trick in the book. I hope this helps. 🥰🥰🥰 And @Mena_Adubea I hope you didn't mind me giving this info. I saw this and instantly I fell in love 🥰 Love you girly keep doing your thing beautiful!

[@isobel64]

i agree. such a lovely foundation. i can wear 29 and 31. what other foundtion and shdes are you

[@lilnin2010]

@@isobel64 Honestly; I stopped at 31, because once I saw how that wore on my skin...I didn't look any further. But in the summer time when my skin warms up I transition into (530R Coffee Bean in Huda Faux Filter) & another comparable foundation to match along with it possibly is (Sephora 10 Hr Wear Perfection Foundation Shade "Deep" 57) It really brings out the richness of being brownie girl. Especially if this is the time your undertone has like that redness in it, but like a peachy Gold underlayer to it...you will definitely see what I'm talking about. I hope this helps.

[@isobel64]

@@lilnin2010 Thanks so much. I currently have that new sephora foundation in 57. But its neutral so its just an ok match. That 10 hr foundation, is it ok for dry skin? Whats the finish?

[@arisaprincess17]

Thx boo! I’m a Nutmeg HUDA girl! Saved me so much time!

[@LovelyTasha]

The entire look is pretty. Great tip for bright blush. I will be trying that.

[@toddirogers2701]

Girl the blush is hella cute idk what you talking about.

[@lilnin2010]

Let me tell you. This Foundation is everything to me. I wear the shade 31; when I tried 34 it was way too red/dark on me. But 31 looked too light, but as it oxidized it fit perfectly with my skin tone.

[@hyacinthcarter6359]

Hey Mena, hope you’re doing well. Hey question, when we purchase something you show us, it takes me to the morphe site, how do you get credit for it? I did click the link in your bio, then it took me directly to their site I just want to ensure you are getting the credit for showing us these items when we purchase

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Aww so sweet! Yes, whenever you use my links, I get a commission. Thanks so much!

[@sonyg9018]

I love how Mena is so adept at doing her makeup. She makes it look soo easy. She looks drop dead gorgeous. Surprised that she has so few comments. Great job 👏🏾

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Thanks love!

[@msalwaysjazzy]

I Agree

[@PallyKAPUKARE]

Your video quality is everything for me ... 👏🏽🤞🏽and that makeup too😍

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Aaw, thanks! I've worked hard on this, so thank you!

[@JamilaDauraLifestyle]

Your eye lid space is beautiful!

[@bashfl4now]

Hey shade twin, I was the one on ig that told you I hated it but as usual you have convinced me to give it a second chance. Also I've decided to use that brush to set my undereyes and stick to my buffing brush followed by a sponge. The brush seemed so weird to use for foundation when I used it 😅 Everything looked so pretty on you Mena, from the face to the cheeks to the winged eyeliner. I am clutching my pearls sis 😍 Love that blush trick 💞

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Ohhhh ok!! Hey boo!

[@glaureanombolo2866]

You have such a beautiful skin 😍

[@Lux_82]

This look is gorgeous!

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Thxxx

[@SusanitaEfe]

The wing liner looks gorgeous love it.😍 The lip combo is.👌

[@_LisaRee]

So pretty! Loved how this all turned out.I love matte too but now leaning more towards the satin finish look too! 🤎

[@peacestephen6703]

If black is beautiful is a person then you that person I enjoyed watching

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

💕💕💕thx!

[@nadiab.c6082]

Absolutely gorgeous! I was somewhat worried when you applied the foundation but baaabbyyyy! The look is amazing. I absolutely love the brows and the eyes! Everything looks good

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

I know right ! Thankssssss

[@HoudinBanks]

I love this look😍😍 the foundation turned out beautiful! I love watching your videos because we are the same shade and I love your routines.

[@andreapetersen-lawani1574]

Binge watching Sunday. Watching some of your old and new videos! It is your facial expressions for me. I would like to check this foundation out! I am loving the brush! What do you rate the brush? Absolutely gorgeous as always! I love love your eye shadow! ❤

[@ijehmakuochiconfidence6085]

Hi Mena, please what brand is the brush you used to apply your foundation. Thank you

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

HEYY!! Ooh, maybe it was the Sephora 70 brush. The flat kabuki one?

[@KurtishaMarie]

Heyyyyyyyyyy!!! Congrats sis on the Sephora promo!!!!

[@msalwaysjazzy]

What color ended up working for you?

[@Tolu.b.artistry]

Love the entire look and the silver, popping😍

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Thxxxxxx

[@melaninfreyja1136]

I really loved this look😍. And the combo with cheeks and lips was bom🔥.Gonna give these morphe products a try. I mean it has skincare in it

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Yes!

[@isobel64]

Damn I was really hoping you would do an orange lip. lol. I cant believe you don't do orange blush. Ma'am. You NEED Nars Taj Mahal. Francois created it for Naomi Campbell, looks amazing on all deep and rich skintones. I love orange blushes so I will definitely get that Kosas one especially since it's cream. I like putting cream blushes and highlighters under the foundation. Btw that foundation looks so good on you. I know you're about the matte life but this gives a lovely healthy glow and that orange blush is like cherry on top!

[@bashfl4now]

My absolute favorite blush too. So bomb 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

I knowwwwww! I need to grab that NARS one. I have heard so much good about it!

[@SchnellRobinson]

Hey Mena. Happy Tuesday. Hope ur safe and congrats on being on both sites hun.

[@kathyyearby3334]

That blush is beautiful on you!

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Thxxxxx

[@yanitzastephenson9166]

Beautiful!!!

[@Debby460]

Is that the Elf eye primer? Loveeeeeeee orange blush 😍😍😍😍. Face looks bomb

[@chandamochaswirl]

Lol a mess!!! I accidentally purposely mixed orange eyeshadow and a lip gloss to match my orange blush🤷🏾‍♀️. I love this lewk especially the eyes and that foundation is popping sis to me😊 I’m off today so I will be practicing the wing😟🤣

[@brixtina]

Slay Queen 👑 Lovely Video 💖💗💜

I prefer matte too

[@singlnfine]

I love the orange cheeks

[@petronellakalombo3930]

This lady I ❤️

[@SachaBloom]

Perfect 👌

[@shaelee7382]

What shade is this? You said both were too light and the third one was your match, but didn’t say what the shade was 😢

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Oh my goodness I’m so sorry! I missed that but I will take a look and see if I can figure out what shade it was.

[@markandrewumpad746]

i love your energy. new subscriber here. 😘

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Yay! Thank you!

[@WellaNovee]

I need to get me some!!!..lol♡

[@joymassey8370]

What brush is that 😍

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

The foundation one? From Morphe - came with the foundation.

[@signcancer623]

Come thru with that RI accent!👌🏼🤌🏼😂🤣

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

I know right ! 🤣

[@mp4455]

I thought 30 would have worked for you??? I didn't think it was too light.

[@angie8599]

It's definitely not full coverage.. nice foundation but on the more natural radiant side

[@lilnin2010]

Is there anyway that we can petition Gucci to bring back their Satin Matte Foundation? If so? Please let me know & I would love to encourage them to enhance their shade range. Just saying I would prefer the Old line that they launched instead of the one they have out now.

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

I hear you!

[@lilnin2010]

@@MENA_ADUBEA You know when I went back and watch the video you did on Gucci; you said it dried down matte. I might invest into it after all. I remember hearing a friend of mine say when she tried it; it was medium coverage. She had to keep adding a layer or 3 to build to the capacity she wanted, but it took a while for it to dry down. Confusing!?!?! Much...I'm sort of torn. I thought you looked amazing in this video & the Gucci one as well. I notice that you like caramel/semi-light taupe/pale taupe type of lipsticks.

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Ahh, with three layers; it would totally take tome to dry. It’s worth a shot, if you’re curious!

[@lilnin2010]

@@MENA_ADUBEA The Morphe Foundation.... BayBee....You did it so much justice.
