Wow, amazing! I love how MMU covers so well. Good to know you're enjoying them.

You know I think, you don't need a darker shade, since you took the picture with the flash on, right? If you get the darker shade, you'll look darker in real life view.

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

Applied wet.

Thanks Leony. Yes the flash does make everything look paler than it is IRL...

Well I just tried OceanMist Mineral Samples and I am very pleased!

The samples I ordered were:

Foundation: Almond

Foundation: Toffee

Foundation: Wheat

Blush: Vanora

Finishing Powder: Lightly Tinted

Concealer: Medium

And she also sent an extra E/S sample in Pink Urchin

I'm not so great with picking colors so I just gave it a try.

The Almond was a little too dark for me but maybe in the summer or mixed with a lighter shade it might work.

The Toffee was dark for me too but it does have a somewhat of a pink hue to it so it might just work great as a blush/bronzer.

And Wheat seemed to work better for me then the others. I asked my husband what he thought and he said he liked the Wheat on me. So I trust him.

So I think I'm CRAZY for posting a picture of me with absolutely no make-up on b/c I never let anyone see me without it, but for purposes of this board, I think I just better.

So here I am with nothing on:

So I started off with moisturizer on my face then used the concealer on my problem areas. I then applied the Wheat Foundation all over my face and used the Vanora Blush. I finished with the Finishing Powder. I used the Pink Urchin E/S (dry) on my upper lid and (wet) on my lower.

And here is the after picture:

(Much better then the first picture I would have to say)

I will post some pics using UD Surreal Skin mineral makeup soon.

Oooh I like Almond from Ocean Mist the best out of all of the ones that you tried!

I'm so excited now to get my ED and I will now order something from OM as well to see which one I like better.

I just bought some mineral makeup online. I didn't buy the BE brand because it was too expensive. I am excited to try the alternative brand because a lot of the reviews said they preferred it over BE. I will let you know what happens.

Wow, Drea... it really looks natural on you. Good job!

Hey, girls! I thought I'd contribute my b&a of Urban Decay Surreal Skin mineral makeup since there seems to be a lot of interest in this product.

Please excuse my ugliness today...it's just one of those days. lol. But you get the idea.

Edit to add: It was my first time applying this wet, so I may have accidentally made it too thick.

Wow, the UD looks awesome on you

Thanks for contributing. It doesn't look too thick at all. With some practise I'm sure you'll have it down in no time.

okie , I've been putting this off forever .. and since i have nothing better to do right now.

Here's EDM applied dry (normal application w/kabuki)

The B4 is from today ... i just woke up ...

and the afters are a lil older ... i just wanted to compare edm and Signatures

 

[Thais]

Gorgeous Kim!

 

[LVA]

thanx Thais ... and here's Signature Minerals..it doesn't look so great cuz i was in a hurri ...but i promise it's a great foundation .. hehe

Signature is applied wet cuz my skin is super dry in the winters

 

[Thais]

I like signature too but I think that EDM gives you a more flawless, glowing look.

Okay, I finally got my mineral makeup and took before and after pictures. It was my first time applying mineral makeup, so I probably need some practice.

 

[rav3n]
