HIGH DEFINITION POWDER

Not too long ago I spoke about foundation.  Now I want to speak about something which helps set the foundation; high definition powder.  So what is high definition powder and what does it do?  Well according to the Make-Up Forever website high definition powder is a universal translucent powder to be applied over foundation or worn alone.  It sets the foundation and slightly mattifies skin without changing its natural contours.  This 100% mineral silica powder softens the appearance of imperfections and evens out your complexion for a glowing, radiant look.  There is one universal shade for all skin tones.  High definition powders work great for flash photography.  Those with oily skin can use the powder to take away any shine and make their pores look smaller.  So which brand is best?  We are going to look at two: Make-Up Forever HD Microfinish Powder and E.L.F. High Definition Powder.

Make-Up Forever HD Microfinish Powder is most probably the best selling high definition powder on the market.  It is excellent in making you look flawless and radiant.  When you use the Microfinish Powder, only a little bit is needed.  So while the powder is considered high end, it is going to last you for a long time.
E.L.F. High Definition Powder is the low-end version of Make-Up Forever's high definition powder.  It performs the same as Make-Up Forever in that it hides blemishes and fine lines, and will give you a beautiful glow.  You can wear the high definition powder under your foundation or alone on your face.

Basically it is your choice. Both products perform equally well and both will give you that flawless look.

The Make-Up Forever Microfinish Powder sells for $16.00 - $34.00.  It may be purchased at Sephora, Amazon and other participating retailers.

The E.L.F. High Definition Powder retails for $6.00 and can be purchased at www.eyeslipsface.com.
