Beauty 101: High-definition makeup

High-definition makeup is getting popular by the day thanks to the selfie bug that has bitten everyone. The really great thing about high-definition makeup is that it is designed not only for the unforgiving eyes of the camera but also to make your skin look youthful and flawless. High-definition makeup contains mattifying agents that don’t make your skin look oily or cakey. Here’s everything you need to know about high-definition makeup.

High-definition makeup camouflages imperfections, covers blemishes and blends seamlessly into the skin. It contains light deflecting pigments that give a smooth and natural finish. It was originally designed to hide any facial flaws for those who work in television or movies, in front of high-definition cameras.

The trick behind getting extra coverage from high-definition makeup is to layer and blend the products well into the skin. High-definition makeup does not cake on the skin if used correctly nor does it create fine lines or clog pores, resulting in an even finish.

High-Definition Powder:

High-definition powders are usually processed into a very fine powder to provide a sheer consistency. They have a micro-texture so that the powder does not settle into the skin’s pores. They are great to use as setting powder or on their own and have a velvety matte finish.
