Everyday Minerals : Mineral Makeup

I have tried so many mineral powders - Pur minerals, Bare Essentials (Bare Minerals) - broke me out like CRAZY, Bobbi Brown, and Jane Iredale. Everyday Minerals is by far the best! I use the Matte formula. It offers medium coverage, a natural looking matte finish, but not a flat unnatural finish. Has pretty good staying power...better with a primer. Only has a few ingredients, so never breaks me out or clogs my pores. I have been using this foundation for years and will continue to use it for years to come :)

This is the best makeup I have ever used. I started experimenting with mineral makeup based on recommendations from this site, it is absolutely fantastic. I have very pale skin with mild-to-moderate acne that's mostly just really red, and ever since I started using the yellow "sunlight" color corrector, my skin looks perfectly clear until you get really close! I use it as a base to even out skin tone, and concealer, as well as under-eye color correction, and it really is miracle makeup -- it covers everything. I then apply the fair intensive base on top to balance it out, which minimizes the look of my massive pores! I find it looks a lot better with my new CeraVe moisturizer (also on recommendations from this site!) than anything else, so the texture of the moisturizer may be a factor. All in all, I would highly recommend trying this out, not to mention EM gives out a free 7-color sample with every order, so what have you got to lose :)

I've been using their makeup for a couple of years. You have to experiment a bit to find the right shades for your skin, BUT they do have nice sample kits with a spectrum of shades that you choose. They also have a tendency to give you random free samples in your order.

Definitely worth a try! It is inexpensive and seems to work great for those with acne skin. It has almost no ingredients (compared to a normal foundation) and feels very natural on your face. It actually feels like you're not wearing any foundation and this is very comfortable. However, the durability really depends on what kind of moisturiser you use. With some bases/creams/moisturisers it seems to melt off the skin or get really oily, whilst with other products this is not the case. You will have to experiment with what you'll wear underneath. Personally I use several EDM products for the best effect. I use the concealer for under eyes and zits, the mint color corrector face powder (it's green) for reducing redness, an intensive(!) base foundation and a finishing powder. Ok, my way of using it: Following the regimen, but skip BP in the morning. Using a moisturiser or some jojoba oil very lightly (may sound weird, but the oil actually works kinda good with EDM!). Pay attention here, because you'll want to use a little. Let it sink in the skin. Note: in the steps below, always use little product! A few taps in the cap should be more then enough. First step: Put some finishing powder in the cap, swirl your kabuki brush in and apply all over the face, a very thin layer. Second step: use the mint color corrector. Put some in the cap, swirl your kabuki brush (also EDM) in. Apply and buff all over your face using circle movements. At this point you may look a bit green/grayish. If you happen to have very red spots, apply some mint color corrector with a smaller brush. No wories, this will not be visible when you are ready. Third step: now take a smaller brush and apply some EDM concealer over the bigger zits you have. Fourth step: Now put some base in a cap and swirl like you've done before. Do not use too much. Begin swirling and buffing the foundation base in like you've done in step 2. Reapply if needed. Fifth

This has aided in my acne recovery along with acne.org products. I love love love this product and it covers my scars. YEAAAA Now it says I have light acne but it used to be severe before these wonderful products.

After I finally rid myself of 99% of my acne using Yasmin and Differin, I started using my old mineral makeup, Bare Minerals, and I found that it was breaking out my skin so I switched to Everyday Minerals and I am very impressed. I have been using this makeup for about a month now and it has given me great coverage and it seems to last the entire day. The Multu-Intensive Concealer works great with reducing the appearance of the 2-3 small zits that I still get from time to time. The Luminizing Sunlight Powder is a god send! I am Buttered Tan in Orignal Glo :p They have great deals when you spend a certain amount of money. I find that this makeup lasts a long time. Very happy. The price I put is only for the Base color & Concealer combined.
