High-definition television has brought us better image quality on screen, but that sharper picture doesn’t conceal facial flaws like analog television did. Makeup companies have to keep up with these constant changes in technology, and they’re bringing us the latest trend, the new generation of high-definition foundations. These foundations are designed to give flawless coverage; under the harshest lighting, they go undetected.

Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer Light: This primer is oil-free, so it’s great for oily, acne-prone or sensitive skin. Vitamin C and peptides even out the skin tone as well as promote collagen production. This primer absorbs quickly and leaves the skin with a matte finish. It’s 60 percent water, so it doesn’t have that slippery feel you get from silicone-based primers. Smashbox was founded by the great-grandsons of Max Factor, who’s known as the father of modern makeup. It’s no surprise that Dean and Davis Factor are following in their great-grandfather’s footsteps.
Smashbox Photo Finish Color Correcting Foundation Primers: These colorful primers are designed to even out your skin tone. The apricot-colored primer is a blend that conceals under-eye circles, veins and sunspots. The green-colored primer is a corrector that minimizes any redness on the face.
Nars Makeup Primer: This lightweight gel-cream primer absorbs quickly; it contains natural botanicals that reduce the appearance of redness. It’s a great product for men who suffer from redness after shaving.
