I tried bare minerals but it had no coverage at all style_emoticons/default/sad.gif Anyone know of any mineral make up that has full coverage?


Yes Melange from melange.com has a heavier coverage than most.

It's what I use and it's great.

I agree with Mishmosh.

Mineral Makeup can be very different from each other so it is best to read the ingredient labels and to choose one with as small an ingredient list possible. I think no matter the formula it is best to try sample sizes first so you can make sure it agrees with you. Most mineral ingredients are pretty benign, I have had no problems with titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, iron oxides, boron nitride, mica etc I have had problems (or the majority of people) have issues with bismuth oxychloride, cornstarch, rice powder, lauryoly lysine, dimethicone, talc, etc. Any company that offers sample would be the way to go so you aren't spending a fortune on something you may not use. I have been using Faerie O's minerals for about 3 years now with great results, I do not have to reapply like I did with BE (they also have samples). I have also heard good things about meow but I haven't tried it as I am sticking with what works for me right now.

I use Everyday Minerals.com mineral makeup.

I would avoid Bismuth Oxychloride, even the slightest amounts of it. Its very irritating to the face which can cause breakouts and itchiness. It's contained in most mineral makeup, and always read the ingredients.

I just got my EM in the mail today. I'm already in love. Any tips I should know? Is there a setting powder that I should order and what primer do you ladies use? Right now I just apply after moisturizing.
