Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Blush

when i attended this year's The Makeup Show in los angeles i bought this gem-- HD Microfinish Blush from Make Up For Ever. i had heard a bit about it before going, and since i am such a fan of the HD Foundation, it was on my radar of must-try items. once i did, well... :)

first, i have to say a little goes a long way. and i don't mean just a pump. i mean like 1/4 of a pump. i mean a don't-even-press-down-for-a-full-pump-or-you'll-have-to-share-with-your-neighbors long way. it's very pigmented but still manages to look sheer and natural when applied.

take a look...




typically, i use this much for both cheeks. really.




i dot, dot (on each cheek), then blend. if more is needed, then i apply a little more to work with. so far, this amount has been sufficient for me.

the texture of HD Microfinish Blush is light, blends beautifully and stays put. it washes off easily and i'm thrilled that it will last me forever (not really, but you know what i mean). p.s., the color i have is #9 In the Spotlight.

Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Blush is now available at sephora.com

available now: Make Up For Ever HD Elixir

the digital switch happens tomorrow-- are you ready? Make Up For Ever wants you to be with their new HD Elixer. this new beauty serum was created to hydrate like no other, making the surface of the skin makeup-ready, and thus camera-ready once all makeup is applied.

"everyone wants to look natural and have beautiful, firm skin," says creator and artistic director Dany Sanz. "i designed this product with the everyday woman in mind who has normal imperfections. if it's good for HD camera then it's good for everyday light!"

in a unique, non-oily, non-sticky, light-weight gel, HD Elixer is instantly absorbed by the skin and can be applied to entire face or to dehydrated problem areas such as the eye orbital area. key ingredients include d-panthenol and glycerin for hydration, dermican for firmness and tonicity, argatensyl for rapid tightening and fucogel for combating environmental factors like pollution. clinical tests reveal that the product increases skin moisture 520% after just 15 minutes, and continues to hydrate for up to six hours.

HD Elixer is applied after cleansing, and once the formula is fully absorbed, then apply your primer, foundation, etc.

"a lot of things around us are changing...technology is changing," said Sanz. "and we have to go with the [new] rules. it's not just the [makeup] brush!"




you can purchase this right now exclusively on sephora.com and it will be in stores later this summer.
