Aww, thank you girls! I think I'm going to try more mineral makeup! I'm totally surprised that I feel like I'm wearing no makeup at all! The foundation is so lightweight!

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)

It looks great leony!!! Did you use a primer?

In the first photo, I'm wearing nothing but moisturizer. In the second, I've filled in my brows and applied Brooklyn foundation. It is amazing to use. Very very Nice! You look great.

You've seen my "before" before...he's a Valerie Beauty after.

I used Cover Deluxe W2.75 with a moisture spray spritzed on my kabuki before applying. I also used a teeny bit of Val's Satin Sun Illuminator finish. I got some stuff from Val's Bargain Bin and I used them on my eyes: St. Tropez applied wet on lid, then Dolce Vita on crease and outer V. Then Val surprised me when she got me a beautiful powder blush called Millenium as my mystery gift! I LOVE it! I'm also wearing it in the photo with my MAC mineralized skinfinish in Petticoat on top.

I can't believe I'm doing this, but I must show the miracles that mineral makeup can do!

All Everyday Minerals: foundation in golden fair, sunlight concealer, finishing dust.

Applied wet.

It looks nice, but it seems to me that you applied a little bit too much, but nothing that with a little more practice can't be corrected

And also, be careful with your eyebrows when applying MMU

Maybe it looks that way because it's the first time I've applied them wet, I didn't realize how little product you need! And my eyebrows look funny because I hadn't done the rest of my makeup yet!
