I have seen the beauty light, and it is Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Concealer, $28! Unless you've been living under a rock for the last year or so, you know that high definition makeup is all the rage in beauty. Though it was created to give actresses flawless coverage under the intense scrutiny of HD cameras, I've found that it gives everyday women beautiful results as well.
I've used Make Up For Ever HD foundations on clients before and was always impressed with the results. But leave it to MUFE to one-up themselves and come out with such an amazing HD concealer!
I picked up a few shades at The Artist Summit for my kit and had been waiting for the opportunity to whip them out. Last night my friend Monica and I were offered tickets at the last minute to see Alvin Ailey II (which was fab, by the way!), and needless to say we were not looking our best after a long day at work!
Seizing the opportunity, I decided to try out one of my new HD concealers on Monica. I dabbed a little under her eyes and on a blemish or two, then dusted on a little pressed powder. No exaggeration, the results were astounding. Her skin was instantly even toned and flawless, and didn't have that heavy makeup look or feel. The Make Up For Ever HD concealer had given her perfect, natural looking skin. Color me impressed!
Monica kept getting compliments all night on her makeup, and one woman even pulled her aside in the ladies room to ask her if her makeup was airbrushed! I am SO running out to by one of these for myself in my shade! In my opinion, Make Up For Ever makes the best HD makeup out there, and I can't wait to add more of their products to my beauty arsenal!

Beauty Review: Iman Second to None Cover Cream
Beauty maven Iman is debuting several new items this spring, one of them being her new Second to None Cover Cream, and I think I'm in love!
I'm not sure if the original usage of the cover cream was supposed to be a foundation or concealer, but I've been having great luck using it as a foundation. I just tap a little over the areas I want to cover and blend it in with a foundation brush.
The coverage is pretty amazing. It evens out my skin tone and can cover dark spots without looking at all heavy or cakey. The cream is a little slippery, so you'll definitely want to set it with some powder. After I dust my face with Iman Luxury Pressed Powder, my face has a really sheer, natural looking, smooth finish. I swear, I look like I have the most perfect skin!
If you're on the oily side, I would keep some blotting tissues or powder on hand. I don't know why, but Iman's face products always leave me oilier by midday than any other brand, but for now I'm willing to put up with it because the color match is so good. If you're in the market for a new concealer or foundation I would definitely look out for Iman Second to None Cover Cream at your fave drugstore.
P.S. Look out for my review of Iman's new Luxury Eye Defining Powder, a powder eyeliner and eyeshadow wand in one!
P.P.S Iman has her own YouTube page with how-to videos and product demonstrations. Who knew?
Amazing Concealer!
One ever-present beauty quandary of brown girls is hyper pigmentation. Otherwise known as dark spots. Left behind after from blemishes, those annoying dark spots can really throw a monkey-wrench in your flawless face. That's where Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer comes in. This stuff really lives up to its name. It can fully camouflage any spot while still looking natural. Definitely amazing. Out of the seven shades only two are deep (quelle surprise, I know), but if one of these two shades is a match, I'd definitely check it out!
