The Daily Beauty Break

Let me tell you…this whole High Definition “revolution” has not been kind to television anchors and celebrities…(or their makeup artists). So anytime I come across a product that gives the look of natural, perfect skin I get super excited!

Especially for men…traditional makeup looks so fake on them….and in the past I’ve used tinted blotting powder…which helped, but didn’t give enough coverage…

Well no more! Say hello to Cargo’s Blu_Ray High Definition Mattifier ($24)…Used alone or under/over your foundation, this product is like an instant airbrush to your skin….just a small amount of this silky, souffle-like textured cream/gel instantly refine pores, evens skin tone and diffuses wrinkles! Perfect for men on set or you “Nancy Naturals” of the world. It has a slight bit of color which helps to even skin tone while still looking like you have absolutely NO makeup on!

Bonus, it contains tons of goodies for your skin…like Vitamin A & E for antioxidant protection. I love this product because it is totally multi-purpose. 1. Use over your makeup as a powder…to set and keep shine away ( I like to apply with a small Kabuki-type brush) 2. use under your foundation as a makeup primer (since it’s silicone-based it creates a beautiful smooth canvas)…use fingers or a sponge, or 3. alone for a “natural glow” when you don’t feel like caking on any foundation! Not bad for $24 bucks…

Cargo Blu_Ray High Def Mattifier is definitely going to be taking up permanent residence in My makeup bag and My makeup kit!

And as the folks at Cargo say… Be-you-tiful (that’s their little slogan..cute,huh!)!
