One of My Stables: Make Up For Ever High Definition Powder

So I eyed this product for a year before purchasing this because I thought setting powder was something they just sold to you but you did not really need it. Boy was I wrong, I am in love with this product. It was not until another pageant friend also suggested this product and showed me the difference that I became a convert.

My Skin:
Combination (Dry and Oily)
Some acne

About the Product:
This powder can be worn alone or on top of your makeup. This high definition powder gives you an airbrush finish and gives a smooth look to your face. It is like putting clear nail polish on your nail color, you don’t have to but it is a nice finish. And of course the powder doesn’t make your face shinny like my clear nail polish analogy.

This definition powder lasts on my face for about half a day. So I apply for make-up at around seven in the morning and it lasts till around 1 in the afternoon. I do touch my face a little bit more than the average person because I like to

lend my face on my hand while in class. So this product may last longer if you don’t touch your face as much.

I have tired Bare Minerals’ Mineral Veil and it is comparable. Bar Minerals; Mineral Veil is only $20 for .21 oz of product. And Make Up For Ever HD Powder is $32 for .32 oz. In my opinion the Mineral Veil gives you a different kind of airbrush finish. It gives you an airbrush look within your face color since you have to choose a mineral veil color closest to your skin tone. But with the HD Definition Powder the white powder gives the face another dimension and a dewy look. The Mineral Veil is more of a matte look. Both products are good it just depends what kind of look you are going for and what you can afford.

 

Sorry folks, it doesn’t come with a pink label, you have to be Pearl to get that label! I label a lot of my make-up so I don’t lose it or have it mixed up with somebody else’s make-up.

Swirl and Apply

Pros: The produce is translucent when applied so it works for all skin colors.

It makes your make-up an airbrush finish and it looks like you just stepped out of a professional photo-shoot.

Cons: The product is expensive at $32 for .32 oz.

You have to be careful when you apply the powder because it is packaged as a loose powder.

I hope you enjoyed my review!

Top cruelty free, natural skincare for acne prone skin

As a makeup lover, I am always camouflaged under nasty ingredients like parabens, mineral oil and talc. While I am trying to move away from these additives, natural makeup has yet to monopolize my entire makeup section, I am quite ashamed of that.

BUT hopefully in future, I can move my entire collection to purely natural and cruelty free makeup (I love animals, so this is more important to me).

Anyway, I started with my skincare regime, and really love these selections. Most of the items I will be talking about are highly affordable. Because people are always asking me where to get these items, I will be linking where to get them, some of the links will contain a ref code, but it is up to you whether you want to use it or not. I do like to say that my reviews are 100% honest.
