Mineral Make up: before and after

Well, I've only tried 2 brands so far, and those are EDM and J. Lynne. I really wanted to like J. Lynne, since the colours were nicer & they have a much larger selection of tones. I felt I could find a better match to my skin. The coverage was good, but I found if I put too much on, it would emphasize my pores and any little line on my face [i'm 18-- I shouldn't be looking wrinkly! LOL], and gradually throughout the day it would seperate and smear and look pretty icky. If you use the right amount, that shouldn't be a problem, though. The one thing that made me stop using my samples was it seemed to give me tiny clogged pores and red spots, mostly on my cheeks and around my mouth/eyes. I really do wish it worked better for me

Ah, well.
I have some samples on the way from Buff'd Mineral Cosmetics, and I'm anxious to try those. I'll definitely post my opinion when I get them

The big smile and the blush in the last pic make you look so pretty it's hard to even compare the brands.

I have oily skin with yellow undertones (I am Italian, so I have that olive, greasy skin). I have tried Sheer Cover, I hated it, I looked like an old lady (and I am only 32 and I have no wrinkles but it reminded me when old ladies put that cake makeup on, uck!). I have tried BE, it was only OK, I felt it showed all my pores or something. I have also tried some other Mineral private label lines and so far nothing has compared to the Jane Iredale for me. It lasts ALL DAY too. I put my makeup on in the morning and dont have to do anything the rest of the day. Even after I get out of the gym it is still on, even after a spinning class where I sweat like crazy. And, it doesnt make me break out which is a huge plus as well. I am getting it for all my friends for the Holidays.

Heres My before and after!

My skin problems are redness / sensitive and at the moment very dry

but we cant all have perfect skin /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />.

- Lily lolo mineral foundation *Porcelain* (applied wet)

- Lily Lolo yellow mineral dust (I use a tiny bit all over my face to help neutralize the redness)

*The first picture is Before (Bare faced) and the Second is after*

The EDM looks fabulous on you!

Yes! Thank you for posting your pics and MMU colors used Thais. You have no idea how much time you're saving me. I'm A/A mixed race and finding exact

color matches involves a ridiculous amount of effort. I've tried a couple of the same colors as you that look great on you, look great on me and now... time saver with Joppa and Monave. Thanks so much.

[SheerIntension]

what is mineral make up? is it expensive? does it wear of easy? is it better than normal make up?

 

[Leony]

Hi, girls! I finally got my EDM MMU yesterday!

So far I like it! I've ordered Semi-Mate: Winged Butter, Medium Beige and Light. Medium Beige matched my skin the best, the concealer, Spring, slightly appeared to be a bit reddish to me, so I don't really like it

.

Here's the pics attached. I only used the foundation on the pics, no finishing touch etc.

Before (nothing but sunscreen), After (withouth flash), After (with Flash)

 

[Mirtilla]

Leony, what a BEAUTIFUL skin!!!!

 

[sunny101]

Hey Leony,

your skin looks great even without the makeup!! Anyhow, the MMU looks great on you too, great job matching colours. Hope you enjoy it as much as we all do.

 

[mehrunissa]

Wow Leony, your complexion is so fantastic!! And the EDM looks great on you too!

 

[periwinkle_sky]

Leony, even without MMU, you look gorgeous! But your MMU made you flawless.

Thais, what can I say, you look good in any MMU!

You look great with Pureluxe! How do you find Banana Split? I want to get this (I know this is somewhat like BE's Well Rested).
