Make Up For Ever has a wide range of HD products including foundations, finishing powders and blush for a full camera-friendly look. The secret is in the shape of the particles — spherical micro particles blur and smooth over texture to hide any imperfections. To minimize the appearance of pores and give your face a flawless base, try Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Foundation, $43. If you tend to get a bit greasy, try the Make Up For Ever HD Pressed Powder, $36, for oil and shine control with added aloe vera and sodium hyaluronate for hydration (without grease).
Perfect for mature skin and those looking to for an anti-aging HD option, Dior Capture Totale Foundation, $82, is a unique serum foundation that relies on optical correctors, HD liquid crystal pigments and multi-toned pigments (that go beyond the usual red, yellow, white and black pigments found in most foundations), to create a super natural finish and subtle boost to tired skin.

The high def makeup mantra is "less is more," and NYX's HD Studio Photegenic line follows suit. The unique packaging of the NYX High Definition Blush, $6.50, allows you to finely grind just as much product as you need for a fresh, superfine powder that deflects light and applies like a second skin.
Created by an actress with years of on-screen time, this Tokyo-based skin care line is a favorite of makeup artists and movie stars. The brand's star high def product, Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Moisture Foundation, $62, is formulated with two types of light-reflecting particles and finely milled mineral pigments. The formula offers all the coverage of a cream, but with the sheerness of a liquid foundation.
If you're looking to HD-ify an already existing look (especially a tired one), Inglot has a great range of powders to create an "I'm awake!" illusion and a soft focus effect, all in a few swipes. Inglot HD Illuminizing Loose Powder, $16, contains tiny light-diffusing particles and diamond dust to give tired skin a refreshed look on camera, even when applied over foundation, while the spherical particles in Inglot Mattifying Loose Powder 3S, $16, make it great for disguising under-eye bags without the cakey buildup of concealer and foundation.
