Behind Cargo High Definition Makeup
There's plenty to love about high definition television. Higher picture resolution, less grain, and sharper contrast create a much more enjoyable viewing experience. With higher picture resolution comes a higher demand from stage makeup.
In order for stage cosmetics to create the look of a flawless airbrushed finish, cosmetic companies have learned to diffuse their products while adding light-reflecting particles that impart a natural glow under the bright lights and high pixels.
While the everyday consumer may not need the added bonus of a camera ready complexion, the cosmetics used in blu-ray filming are so innovative they are appropriate for anyone, whether on-screen or off-screen.
Here's a look at a few of the products available in the Cargo High Definition Makeup collection:
- Blu ray Pressed Powder: Containing photochromatic particles that help keep color consistent regardless of lighting, this pressed powder helps fill in lines and diffuses imperfections, creating the perfect flawless base. Retail price is $30 US, $32 CDN.
- Blu ray Highlighter/Blush: The universally flattering shade of the blu ray Highlighter Blush includes pigments that adjust under any lighting effects. The natural glow you can create with the blush is enhanced with light-reflecting highlighting pigments, creating a softer and more refined blush application. This product is perfect for women who struggle with telltale application lines! Retail price is $27 US, and $28 CDN.
- Blu ray High Definition Mattifier: Primers are a very important step in professional makeup application. In order for makeup to adhere to the skin flawlessly, a base must be applied first. Primers also help keep colors true to tone. Cargo's unique mattifier not only sets the base for flawless cosmetic application, it also helps reduce the oil and shine on the skin's surface. Retail price is $24 US, and $26 CDN.
