Pregnancy safe beauty products can be super difficult and confusing. I have an entire guide devoted to what products are safe to use while pregnant including information on what ingredients to avoid while pregnant and a huge list of pregnancy safe skincare products. The list has gotten so large that I’ve decided to start listing brands in their own individual posts.
Here you’ll find pregnancy safe products from Make Up For Ever as of 2/21/2020. If it is not safe, I’ll tell you why. All of the products meet my pregnancy safe criteria. If they release a new product that is not listed here, please comment below and I will add it. Note I will link to every product directly to avoid confusion. You’ll know exactly which product I mean.
Please refer to my post on pregnancy safe makeup, where I explain why you don’t need to worry about your mascara, powders, eyeliners, etc. Please note, a lot of the MUFE products do not have ingredient lists available online. If your product isn’t included here, please obtain the full ingredients list to ask about safety.
How to Request a Product Review
I try to review all of the products that I can when I publish a list. Note, I am in the US and I only have access to US products. Please don’t be rude if I skipped your favorite cleanser, when items are out of stock sometimes they aren’t on the brand’s site, or maybe you are in Asia and I am in the US.
I reserve the comments on each post for reviews of product from that brand, this makes it easier for others to find products later. Please only ask about Make Up For Ever on this post, I will delete other product questions. You can find other brands here. If your brand is not included, please ask on the brand list post.

hi there! Can I just clarify on the make up forever Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation?
I was under the impression that the following ingredients are not pregnancy safe:
BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), Alumina, aluminium hydroxide?
Hope i’m wrong! Thanks always for your gracious help π
My list of ingredients to avoid in pregnancy is pretty conservative for the medical community (which, note, is different than some random bloggers online. And I say this as a random blogger, though I’m an MD). Here’s my post about this: skincare ingredients to avoid during pregnancy
All of those ingredients are fine. Which is why I’ve sorted the products as they are.
