Just tried EDM and I think I like it...

[alucinor]

Ahhhhh! I love this stuff! My friend ordered samples and I fell in love so I just ordered my own 2 days ago just to play around with the colors more, but I am DEF. going to buy the real thing.

Everyday Minerals seems to be getting a lot of buzz everywhere, I'm so glad everyone is liking it as much as I do!

 

[Sophia]

I'm bumping this thread! I was wondering how can you apply the concealer exactly, do you need a big synthetic brush?

Also has anyone try the Everyday Premium Kabuki Brush(the white one) not the Everyday Kabuki Brush, is it good? I don't have one, and I was wondering if it's good.

I want Mac's #182 but here costs 60 euros/ 75$!!! Can you believe that???? So I cannot buy the #182!

 

[blondie36]

the mac 182 is so worth every penny!!! i know i really didnt want to spend sooo much $$$ on it either but i dont regret it, i am going to walgreens today to buy the perfection kabuki brushes that are 4.99 and i read in someones post that they are on sale -- buy 1 get 1 free ,thats 2.50 each now thats a goood deal, i want to buy this for a spare when my mac brush is wet( from cleaning) so i will let you know tomorrow how it works

I would truly appreciate your opinon. Thanks!

Yeah, I think they might be too light for you. I got Medium Tan and Tan, and I'm between the two shades (I have to mix). When I got my samples I had ordered Medium Beige as my third shade, and it was WAY too light. I gave it to my mom, who is a much lighter complected South Asian.

I believe that sproutwings has bought that brush, and she mentioned on her post that it's awesome, and it's very soft... I'd like to try it only because it's white and SOOO beautiful (it's like the pink set of brushes i saw on ebay - i want them soo much, just because they're SO beautiful)
If you have a regular foundation brush, or a concealer brush *or any synthetic brush* it can work to apply the concealer, since they grab more powder and don't have the tendency of making them air dust

I bought the premium kabuki! I really love it, it is very soft and provides good coverage and everything. I would say definitely try it, it's so beautiful!

Hello. My first post. I have been using EDM for awhile now. And I love it.

Can't beat the price, and it feels good on my face. I also have the premium kabuki for 2 days, it's very soft... I like it.

 

[Sophia]

Ohhh sounds like the Premium Kabuki is a must! lol

Thanks Lia I have a synthetic fndt brush that it's not so big, I think I'll use this one for the concealer!

 

[sproutwings]

Yes, this brush is really nice! I am not an expert by any means on makeup brushes, but it sure is full and soft and buffs on the minerals beautifully!

 

[rejectstar]

Yeah, from what I heard, the Premium Kabuki is absolutely amazing quality. And it's so incredibly cheap [just $14] compared to a lot of other expensive high end brushes. I'm seriously craving a set of EM's brushes-- I can't wait til we can buy them in complete kits!

Awwwwwwww!!

 

[speerrituall1]

Yeah!! I'm glad that you're trying minerals. I was a strictly mineral user until earlier this year. I flashed back to MAC. As the weather warmed, I found myself missing my mins, so I've returned to them. My family members scavenged my MAC, but that's OK. I told them don't even think of touching the lip/lustre glass--their staples.

 

[Annia]

I got some samples today! I think I like it alot.. especially the semi matte foundation. I even ordered the MAC brush.

I think I'll be buying some of their stuff. Can't wait til I get back to Alaska!

 

[bianca_hall]

Hey girls, saw alot of talk about colors in shades similar to me - in liquid foundation, I wore MAC NC43; Laura Mercier - Golden Beige; Shiseido - Naural Deep Ochre O60....

I am about the same depth as Beyonce or Rhianna, but where they are red/brown, I am more yellow, like Alicia Keys. The medium beige was too red/brown for me, I had to go with medium beige summer. I find the original glow looks much nicer when it is in the correct color! When I tried it in medium beige i looked shiny, but in the med beige summer, just nice and glowy.

See if you can't get ahold of a free video editing program and chop them down to smaller sizes. I really want to see!
