\This is probably the most popular type of makeup application This makeup is done using regular brushes but products that contain pigments with light-diffusing coatings that blur the imperfections when light reflects onto them. Any product that claims to be HD will have one of the following: mica, silicone, crystals, and quartz. In pictures, this makeup would look next to flawless, and in real life too, the result will be a dewy, skin-like finish. If you’re very dry skin, it’s recommended to prep your skin with hydrating products and end with a moisturizing setting spray, or the mica in the foundation starts breaking down.
The purpose of HD makeup is to mimic natural skin, and hide imperfections, dark circles, and uneven skin tone while maintaining a natural look.
The difference between HD makeup and regular makeup is that the HDM can withstand extreme heat and light conditions whereas the regular makeup will break down.
