Sharon Feiereisen Tries the Make Up For Ever HD Complexion Starter Kit

The kit comes with everything you need to take tired skin from drab to fab – sounds cheesy but it’s true. A good primer, foundation, and powder can go a long way and the ones enclosed in this kit are designed for long-lasting results (no wonder it’s a favorite on photoshoots).

Most of us don’t have too much time in the morning, but you can do more than you think in, literally, just two minutes. After cleansing skin, apply Make Up For Ever HD Microperfecting Primer all over your face. It’s lightweight and oil-free so it won’t clog your pores or leave you feeling greasy or shiny even if you’re layering it over day cream or an SPF moisturizer. A primer is essential for increasing your makeup’s hold and for allowing all the products you subsequently put on your skin to glide on with ease.

Post primer, smoothe Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation (the kit comes with the foundation shade of your choice) all over your face. I like to apply foundation with my fingers for a streak-free application, but a sponge and brush work as well. The foundation will help even out skintone and cover up flaws, while also moisturizing the skin (that’s right, a foundation that’s not dehydrating!). To set the foundation and to give your complexion a natural glow, take the HD Kabuki Brush that comes with the kit and apply some of the HD Microfinish Powder.

These steps take no time at all and are enough to have you out the door with skin confidence in tact. As an added bonus, one of the most undervalued facial areas are the brows. A good brow treatment can go a long way (if you happen to be passing by Barneys flagship in New York, their brow man, Robert Sweet William, is a master with the tweezers) when it comes to shaving off makeup application time.
