"We wonder if the people at [Serious Skin Care](http://beauty.hsn.com/serious-skin-care_c-bs_a-146_xc.aspx?prev=hp&amp;amp;rdr=1&amp;amp;sourceid=googlebrand&amp;amp;cm_mmc=Paid%20Search%20Brand-_-Google-_-Beauty-_-serious%20skin%20care&amp;amp;utm_source=google&amp;amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;amp;utm_term=serious%20skin%20care&amp;amp;utm_campaign=Beauty), a line created by Jennifer Flavin-Stallone (yep, she's Sly's wife) were thinking of the Old Masters when they developed their new makeup line. In addition to working with a makeup artist to develop Serious Colour Complete Complexion Canvas, they also got input from a portrait artist. The reason? The goal was to create luminous, perfect skin (and let's face it, Rembrandt was no slouch in this department.) The resulting products, which will be available exclusively at HSN starting April 15, include a liquid foundation, powder foundation, concealer, and setting powder (all come in five shades) that don't give a flat, one-dimensional look, thanks to \\\"optical color spheres\\\" that are coated to make skin look smoother and to mask imperfections. We tested the new products ([which are exclusively at HSN](http://beauty.hsn.com/serious-skin-care_c-bs_a-146_xc.aspx?prev=hp&amp;amp;rdr=1&amp;amp;sourceid=googlebrand&amp;amp;cm_mmc=Paid%20Search%20Brand-_-Google-_-Beauty-_-serious%20skin%20care&amp;amp;utm_source=google&amp;amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;amp;utm_term=serious%20skin%20care&amp;amp;utm_campaign=Beauty)), and asked one of our favorite makeup artists, Troy Surratt, to do the same. Here, our collective thoughts:\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n- __In Depth Coverage Liquid Foundation:__ It feels thick at first dab, but, explains Surratt, \\\"When blended, it really does become one with and sets beautifully on the skin without settling into lines. It leaves a dewy, light-reflective appearance.\\\" He recommends it for women who want medium to full coverage, but gives this warning: \\\"A little goes a long way.\\\"\\n\\n\\n- __Third Dimension Powder Foundation:__ We've tried lots of powder foundations\u2014and not all feel as soft as this one (the reason: this powder is micro-fine because it's been highly milled). \\\"It's silky and lightweight, and gives light to medium coverage with a natural matte finish,\\\" says Surratt, adding that you can apply it with either a sponge or large fluffy brush.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n- __Image Correction Concealer:__ You twist it up out of a lipstick-like tube, so be careful not to roll it up too far, for fear of a chunk breaking off (we've seen this happen with some roll-up products in the past). Surratt's take: \\\"It's a lightweight, blendable concealer that's moist, which makes it good for use around the eye areas on mature or dry skin.\\\" (Because of this moist quality, however, he doesn't recommend it for covering blemishes.) *Allure's* special projects director, Kristin Perrotta, is a big fan for use under the eyes because it doesn't crease and covers darkness well.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n- __Precision Finishing Powder:__Like the powder foundation, this is finely milled, soft, and lightweight. \\\"It won't change the color of your foundation,\\\" Surratt says. He uses finishing powders to set liquid foundation (increasing its longevity) and to eliminate shine. The compact's small size makes on-the-go touch-ups easy (it would certainly fit in a clutch).\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nYou can buy each one separately, or as a kit that comes with a white zippered pouch.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  __RELATED LINKS:__\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  [\u00B7 Best of Beauty: Base ](http://www.allure.com/beauty/bestof/2008/10/best_of_beauty_base\\\\#slide=1)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  [\u00B7 Beauty 101: Foundation ](http://www.allure.com/howtos/video/2007/09/light_foundation)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  [\u00B7 Daily Beauty Reporter: New Concealer Tips!](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2010/02/new-concealer-tips.html)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
