Makeup Forever HD Powder and Flash Photography


Hello, my gorgeous, makeup wearing fans! These pictures have been going around for a while, but I wanted to spread the word about this just so this NEVER happens to you. Makeup Forever has a translucent HD powder which is designed to make people look amazing with HD cameras. It has a silicon in it which fills in your skin and reduces wrinkles, smooths out skin, etc. It's a fabulous powder that is used for movies, film and everyday...but if you are going to taking flash photographs DO NOT WEAR IT! Unfortunately, when applied heavily on concealer, which is what you SHOULD do for under eye concealer so it doesn't crease, it is so strong and reflects so much, that in flash photos the areas that you apply the most powder to show up as white and powdery. NUTS! Obviously Nicole, Ashley and Eva's makeup artists didn't know this...now they do. Also, check out Wayne Goss talking about this and doing a demonstration!

  2. Tracy, the Prep and Prime Transparent Powder from MAC is what I use, but I also hear good things about the Ben Nye powders, which I know are normally for stage makeup, but they're supposedly great. Also, Chanel powder is really great too. MWA!
