Complexion perfection from the inside out: Smashbox’s High Definition Healthy FX Foundation |
US. Smashbox Cosmetics has unveiled two new foundation lines. High Definition Healthy FX Foundation is described as an oil-free weightless foundation that not only creates the illusion of perfect skin, but also improves the complexion from the inside out. Function F2 Self-Adjusting Powder Foundation is also said to help repair skin from within.
High Definition Healthy FX Foundation – a liquid formulation – is claimed to leave skin even and radiant on application. In addition, over time, it delivers anti-ageing, revitalising and firming ingredients that protect and repair the skin from damage, according to Smashbox.
Key ingredients include vitamin C and Ribose (a corn-derived sugar to energise and renew cells). The formula also includes a broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF15.
High Definition Healthy FX Foundation is available in 12 shades, within Fair, Light, Medium and Dark categories. A shade-matched colour strip is included at the top of the outer packaging, to help customers choose their ideal shade more easily.
The recommended domestic price point is US$38 for 30ml.
Function F2 Self-Adjusting Powder Foundation is described by Smashbox as a beauty breakthrough. The formula is said to instantly blur and virtually airbrush flaws, while absorbing oil, reducing redness and smoothing the skin’s surface. It also energises, oxygenates and helps repair skin from the inside out, according to Smashbox.
The powder delivers adjustable coverage, from lightweight sheer to full mattifying, depending on the chosen application method. For example, when applied dry with Smashbox’s Fan Brush, it provides sheer coverage or doubles up as a finishing powder; when applied wet with a sponge it provides full coverage.
Key ingredients include corn-derived sugar, soybean extract to help reduce collagen degradation and mild retinoic ester technology to help fight fine lines and wrinkles.
Function F2 Self-Adjusting Powder Foundation is presented in a mirrored compact, complete with sponge applicator. It is priced domestically at US$36.
