4K FACE
Get ready for your closeup with Ultra HD Foundation from Make Up For Ever. The new foundation promises to keep skin looking flawless at any resolution, including 4K. It is made with amino acid coated pigments which blur flaws but remain invisible. A fine grained mica helps skin reflect light, leaving it more luminous. It comes in an oil-free liquid formula or a stick formula for normal to dry skin. This is for anyone who wants the appearance of smoother skin, without the weight of a heavy foundation. Get it at Sephora stores and www.Sephora.com.
