That's a really good match because it looks like you're not wearing any makeup. Congratulations on finding your HG!

 
It is mineral, sometimes I forget I'm wearing makeup at all until I realize I just like leaned on my palms. lol. It's soo light

 
Looks really good

that color looks really smooth on your lips, like you were born for that color! no wonder its your HG!

 
I recently got some goodies from Mineral Basics, including a couple samples of their foundation and one of their finishing silk [i also got 2 bars of soap which are awesome, and will have to say more about that in the skincare thread, I think!]. For foundation colours, I got Light Neutral and Light Warm.

The first day I wore this, I wore it in Light Warm with the Finishing Silk [which is a pearlized looking peach colour in the bag]. I found that my forehead got oily very quickly, and I think it has to do with the finishing powder being kind of glowy. I also thought I ended up more peachy/orange than I liked, probably due to the finishing powder being peach, LOL.

The next day I tried again, this time with Aubrey Nicole Oil Control Powder before foundation, and Aubrey Nicole Mineral Veil to finish instead. I find AN's Oil Control Powder to pretty much eliminate any oily breakthrough with every foundation I try it with, so thumbs up on that one. Anyway, it helped a lot and I didn't get oily like I did the previous day. I like how Mineral Basics goes on-- not powdery, layerable, medium coverage. I apply it wet with my Lumiere Kabuki. I think using a flat top would give you heavier coverage, but I haven't tried that yet. I can't feel it at all on my face, and my skin is nice and smooth. It has really good staying powder compared to some foundations I've tried, when combined with oil control powder.

I've attached a picture comparing before, after with Lt. Warm and after with Lt. Neutral. Both colours seem to work equally well, I really can't tell much of a difference between the two on my face. In the bags, Lt. Warm looks slightly more yellowish/peach than Lt. Neutral, but that's it!

In the Lt. Warm picture, I used:

FACE

* Lumiere Pressed Concealer in Light/Medium Yellow under the eyes

* Mineral Basics Foundation in Light Warm

* Mineral Basics Finishing Silk

EYES

* BonneBell EyeStyle Mascara in Brown-Black

LIPS

* Jenulence Plumping DMAE Lipbalm in Chocolate

Lt. Neutral picture:

FACE

* Lumiere Pressed Concealer in Light/Medium Yellow under the eyes

* Aubrey Nicole Oil Control Powder

* Mineral Basics Foundation in Light Neutral

* Aubrey Nicole Mineral Veil in Linen

EYES

* BonneBell EyeStyle Mascara in Brown-Black

LIPS

* Jenulence Plumping DMAE Lipbalm in Chocolate
