Blu-Ray Makeup Hides the Blemishes of Anyone Going on HDTV

by Ian Rowan on February 15, 2008 at 09:12 AM

For your celebrity girlfriend nervous about her pores showing up a bit too clearly in high-definition broadcasts comes the blu_ray collection of make-up from CARGO Cosmestics (named, apprpropriately, after the Blu-ray high-def disc format). The advent of HD television has brought us unprecedented clarity, which is a good thing, but it has also given us unparalleled views of hitherto hidden blemishes and wrinkles on our favorite actors and on-air personalities. TV reporters were the first to notice the deleterious effect and have started to use special make-up that give an extra layer of disguise.

So if your girlfriend happens to be on CNN, you may want to look into blu_ray cosmetics for Valentine's Day.
Specifically formulated for high definition (whatever that means), the collection includes a blush/highlighter, mascara, and mattifier, pressed powder, and lip gloss. Some of the cosmetics have photochromatic pigments, which apparently adjust to the bright light that exposes all those blemishes.

Okay. Well, at least CARGO had the good sense not to name this new line of cosmetics after HD-DVD.
