I recently introduced you all to Makeup For Ever’s new HD High Definition Pressed Powder… a less messy and compact version of their HD Microfinish Loose Powder. The silky, lightweight finishing powder claims to help soften the appearance of fine lines and pores while creating a soft focus effect on the skin. Since posting about it back in February, I’ve had the chance to test out this product for myself and am now ready to weight in with the results! 

Make Up For Ever HD High Definition Pressed Powder – $36 USD/$41 CAD – 6.2g/0.21 oz

Product Details:
Created for HD technology, the talc-free powder does indeed provide skin with a camera-ready finish and also gives off a smooth, flawless….almost airbrushed effect in photographs. I like that it is invisible and that it provides a flawless canvas. It’s also a great powder to take with you for touch-ups throughout the day since it helps reduce shine and slightly mattify’s the skin. The powder works well to blur out any imperfections (i.e. fine lines, larger pores around the sides of my nose) without any shimmer, chalkiness or colour whatsoever. The finely-milled powder literally disappears onto your skin’s surface (if used correctly and if you don’t overdo it), but not before leaving behind a gorgeous soft-focus effect on the skin.

Application: 
I have been applying the powder using a small kabuki brush. I use very little product and lightly buff it into my skin to set my foundation. If you don’t wear foundation (lucky you!), you can also apply this powder to clean, moisturized skin for a more evened-out  complexion. I did not need to re-apply this product for at least 6-8 hours and only needed to do so in the T-zone, where I tend to be more oily.

Availability:
MUFE’s High Definition Pressed Powder is available in one universal shade. It’s a white powder that applies translucently and is appropriate for all skin tones. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, the powder helps to prevent skin dehydration and also boasts a combination of three premium powders (silica, vinyl cross polymer and Micro & Spherical powders), which together create a smooth, radiant HD effect. You can find Make Up For Ever products Sephora or online.
