5 high-definition foundations for flawless close-upsHands up if flawless skin is on your beauty wish list this season? Of course it is – after all, who doesn’t lust after complexion perfection.

But with so many super-luxe foundations on the market, which is the best bet for creating picture perfect skin?

The simple answer is to invest in a top-notch high definition base.

High definition make-up contains light deflectors and pigments that give the appearance of a smooth, even complexion.

They basically bounce light away from the skin, so that wrinkles, imperfections and changes in skin tone are less obvious.

Most good HD products also contain mattifying agents to combat oily complexions as well as moisturising ingredients to ensure that make-up doesn’t settle into pesky creases that may be more visible on dry skin.

Here are some HD goodies that will have you more than ready for your close-up.
