Make Up For Ever Ultra HD
In a world of selfies and Instagram stories and snapchat, high-definition makeup is no longer just for the stars. Everyone wants flawless skin, but piling on thick and heavy makeup, not only looks unnatural, it can look quite cakey through the lens. Many high-def cameras can expose creases, wrinkles, fine lines and even blemishes. To avoid a cakey texture, while still achieving a soft-focus look, reach for the Make Up For Ever Ultra HD lineup. Its lightweight and sheer coverage hides uneven skin texture and major flaws you may be experiencing, while still being able to see your beautiful skin underneath. The collection simultaneously camouflages all imperfections, covers blemishes, while managing to appear completely invisible on the skin. Its richly pigmented formula is designed to blend seamlessly into the skin for a radiant and natural finish.
The first step to a flawless complexion is prepping the skin with the new Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Skin Booster. It’s formulated with both hyaluronic acid, collagen, argan oil extract and vitamin E to help increase moisture by up to 400%, nourish, plump and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It helps prep the skin for makeup application by creating a smooth and even canvas. Its incredibly lightweight, silky smooth formula is applied directly to clean skin, about 10 to 15 minutes before your primer or foundation. This allows enough time for it to fully absorb into the skin, and ensure no greasy or oily residue. If you’re looking for an extra boost of hydration, you can also mix it in with your daily moisturizer or even mixed into your foundation for a healthy, radiant and luminous glow. It retails for $51.
