It wasn’t too long ago that we all heard rumblings of a very new and exciting product from Make Up For Ever via their twitter account. Whisperings of an aqua cream formula in all colors of the rainbow leaked late last summer, much to my frenzied excitement.
To say I was excited about the launch of Aqua Cream in color (COLOR!) is a gross understatement. Aqua black is already one of my most beloved products, and the prospect of having that formula in glorious technicolor left me gleeful, giddy, and altogether desperate to get my hands on them. As soon as I heard these were available in store, I ran, skipped, and subwayed it over to the boutique to go play.
With a stellar assortment of 22 different shades, there is literally a color to satisfy everyone from the neutral Nancies to the bright Bettys. Each shade is deliciously unique, with finishes that range from the metallic, to the shimmering, to the satiny matte. The creams glide on easily, blend dreamily, and do.not.budge once they dry down on the skin. Also, these are incredibly versatile in that all of the shades are lip, face, and eye safe. Yay for multi-taskers!
Enough of the chatter, let’s look at the colors (COLORS!).

Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream Colors are already available at the Make Up For Ever boutique in NYC, but are also scheduled to launch in store at Sephora around May of this year. While I have your attention, tell which colors you are craving.
I picked up 6 colors. If anyone can guess which shades I picked up, they get a very special prize.

These look beautiful! I didn't see these at the Makeup Show =( a bit crowded but I want to check these out at Sephora.
I'm guessing you picked up: 7, 10, 11, 18, 19 & 20
I'm guessing u picked all purples, golds and burgundies (19, 8, 12, 17, 16 and 2 maybe?). These are gorgeous colours Adina! We don't have an MUFE store here in Ottawa, only in Montreal
Would u be able to cp some for me?
Love them! Was looking at some swatches on Specktra earlier! Hmmm I think you bought 15, 19, 9, 21, 22 and 17. I'm so wrong, I know! LOL
Oh, how much are they?
Wow those seem so quick and creamy! Almost intidimidating. I think it would def take me some practice to figure out how to use these right!!

Gosh I have no idea what colors you'd have picked up, considering they are all awesome. But can you actually tell me, what are these for? Are they like fluidlines?

Oooh so beautiful. The orange is just breathtaking!
Oh my they look divine! :O
At first my eye was drawn to the dark emerald green, the royal purple and the brighter blue, but theyre ALL so damn pretty!
Jillian, these are gorgeous! You are so close! Got 4 of the 6 right.
Saadeh, that is a shame. You got 3 of the 6 I got right.
I'm sorry, but I can't cp.
Maybe call the store and they will ship to you?
Yinka, close but not exactly so. I believe these are around $19 or so, but don't quote me on that. Don't have the receipt in front of me at the mo.
Glamour, these can be layered from sheer to opaque. Definitely give them a try
Abby, you can use these as liner, base, lipstick, cheekstain. Similar to paint pots more so than fluidline
3/6 Sandra
Amina, beyond amazing. You are so welcome
Jenn, yess!! Do you have MUFE in London town?
Joyce, it was actually very difficult. I do know that I will pick up several more in the coming weeks though, so its all good
Lillian, it absolutely is! Cannot wait to create some fiery looks with it
Swatchaholic, they are most definitely divine
I came back to see if I got any right! LOL
AMAZING! Thank you so much for posting!

I love these! I went to NY boutique and I couldn't believe my eyes. I bought the gunmetal, vibrant blue and green. I want to get several more. These things are gorgeous.
Yinka, all will be revealed very soon
Dreams that glitter, you are SO welcome!
Shontay, I just want to make it easy on myself and say that I want them all

Thanks for this great swatches
Shaimaa, they are wonderful! You are so welcome
Just so you now, you're the only website I could find to have complete swatches of these babies. Thanks for the invaluable pictures!!
Nora, thank you for dropping by and saying that. I am thrilled that you found what you were looking for here.
Amazing Swatches! I guess 19,7,8,21,10 & 17 :d
Ricquetta, thanks!
Can you tell me if these are as budge proof as the MUFE aqua creme liners? Both the UD 24/7 and the MUFE aqua eyes pencils smudge very badly on my oily lids but I use the MUFE aqua creme liner all the time and it never moves or melts. I am wondering if these are the same formula as I fear the aqua cremeliners are deing discontinued (at least in all but black) I am looking for a brown or a bronze. thanks
Michelle, these are more budgeproof than the 24/7 and aqua liners, but not as dry as the original aqua cremes. I am a fan of the original creams as well, but did not like how dry they were. That being said, I would recommend trying at least one of the new aqua cremes. The more matte the shade, the more budgeproof.
Hope that helps! Please e-mail me with any other questions you might have.
I bought the red one, take a look of my review
