MAC Cosmetics In High- Def; Flawless, Fabulous, Fantastic

Okay, so the Hi-Def thing is terrorizing actors and actresses everywhere, because the viewer can see every little bump and wrinkle. MAC Cosmetics is riding to the rescue with their newest collection: MAC in High Def, available September 10, 2009 nationwide.

No, you don't have to be a celeb to use this line of goodies.  It's for, "girls and boys who want to look good no matter who's looking," according to their press release. The centerpiece of the collection is the Face and Body Foundation ($32). Why stop at the neck if you want to have flawless looking skin? Pick from 13 colors-soft ivory to deep warm bronze. It's water-based, water-resistant, and provides long lasting sheer coverage. Set it with Mineralize SkinFinish/Natural ($25). It'a baked face powder that give you a dimensional and natural finish (good-bye shiny nose). Make your pout noticeable with one of the four limited edition lipsticks ($14)- Close to Real, High-Def, Sharp Focus and Resolutely Red.

Did I mention that the collection is a limited edition? If you're a MAC junkie, or you want to be ready for your closeup, hit the MAC Cosmetics counter on opening day. MAC fiends show no mercy. View the collection at MAC Cosmetics online.
