Mehron Celebre Pro HD Foundation

The Makeup Show gave up great finds this year as it always does.One this year was Celebre Pro HD foundation by Mehron.

Mehron is a pro brand but anyone can buy and it is very well priced.

The Celebre Pro HD is a cream foundation . It's oil and fragrance free and while creamy is not greasy or heavy. Cream formulas don't always work on my oily skin but this  was not only good, I loved it. Skin looked very perfected and smooth but not overdone . Coverage is medium to full and easly buildable.  I use it all over or sometimes just under the eyes as concealer. It's great for touch ups.

Ingredients include pomegranate and Vitamin E for antioxidants and aloe vera for hydration.

If you've been wanting to try a Pro line and an HD formula but not spend a lot , this is a great choice.  Shade shown is ME2 and the shades range from pale to very dark with eurasian skin suited shades as well ( Pull up the color chart on the site).

Mehron Celebre HD is $ 9.95 at

Thanks for the review! How would you compare this to other HD creams like Graftobian?

Hi Susan,

I have to say I haven't tried that many HD creams yet incl. Graftobian. No matter how much makeup I try there's always so much more to go :) I can say I liked this much better than MUFE HD liquid. I am a big fan of MUFE in general but the HD foundation was good but not something I really loved ( although I bet I am alone in thinking that, I know many who love it. )

Sorry I couldn't be more help. If you try the Mehron or any other, feel free to come back and let me know how it went.

I have the Graftobian and really like it! I lucked out and found a perfect match my first try too. I've never tried MUFE, so no arguments there :) I would like to try the Mehron but their shade selection doesn't seem as large as Graftobian's.

Susan,
I checked out Graftobian's page, and they do have a ton of colors. Mehron color chart shows a smaller choice but if you use the drop down menu a really long list appears. But with no swatches to match the names to, you have no idea what the shade is. I think maybe their website needs a little work .

It's esp. hard to shade match over the web. The one I have is a tiny bit darker than what I would normally use but it works. When I need a new one, I'll go one shade lighter I think.

Good luck with your search

I looked at the Mehron shade selections again, and it looks like I would either go with ME4 or Japanesque Fair, or maybe both since they're so inexpensive. It wound really help if they made their site a little more user friendly! Thanks for all your help!

hello! would you say that me-2 is an approximate match for a neutral, slightly yellow nc25? id love to try this foundation but i cant seem to decide which shade would fit me. cheers! :)

Hi Nico,
That is hard to say for sure but it looks fairly close comparing the MAC chart online. I don't have an NC 25 found. handy here to check. But I think I am NW 20 and the Mehron worked for me but as I said was a bit darker than I needed, so it should work for you. Hope that helps. Their site is very hard without a shade chart to go off of.
