okay, i had some OceanMist foundation sitting in my makeup drawer and i didn't want to throw it away (I like OM, but the coverage isn't as great as my EDM) sooo ... i applied it wet , then applied Signature Minerals dry on top of it . Wad-da-ya- think ?

Thank you so much for sharing your pictures! (I know what you mean about feeling like it's just wrong somehow to post a naked face pic!) But these were a big help. I had not seen any pics of Ocean Mist minerals. So I appreciate your bravery. (((((hugs)))))

Love these! Thanks for posting them!!!

Not sure if it's the lighting that makes the diff, but of the two, that sandstone really stands out. It's gorgeous on you. Thx for sharing these!!

We have very similar skin tone, so these pics are super helpful for me! Thanks so much for sharing them. I haven't gotten around to sampling PL yet, but it's on my "to try" list!!!

Well, yesterday I stopped by the post office, and both my packages came in

I got samples from both Lumiere and Signature. Today I did a face with Lumiere. Tomorrow I'm going to do one with Signature and then post another before & after.

FACE:

Lumiere Pressed Concealer in Light

Lumiere Veena Velvet Foundation in Fairly Light Neutral & Fairly Light Beige

Lumiere All Over Colour in Clear Radiance

Lumiere Sheer Silk Powder

EYES:

BonneBell EyeStyle Mascara in Black

LIPS:

Alima Nourishing Lipbalm in Black Raspberry.

I really like this Lumiere foundation. Goes on smooth and doesn't look dry or chalky at all! It really covers pores well, too. I just don't know if the shade is right. I think it actually might be a tiny bit too light. Any opinions??

First picture is before, last three are after.

I think that combo gives you great coverage. And I love the rest of your makeup as well, so fresh looking!

 

[periwinkle_sky]

LVA: you got great coverage there, and everything looked so flawless and natural.

rejectstar: you look beautiful! Lumiere gives you that airbrushed look. So pretty.

I think that shade looks good on you. It's hard to tell in pictures, but it doesn't look too light to me. I've found that several shades seem to match my skintone. I had about 5 different shades from Lumiere, and in the pots they all looked different, but each one blended in and disappeared into my skintone (if that makes sense..). It seems that mineral makeup is very "forgiving" when it comes to colors.

Alrighty, I tried out my Signature samples today. I dunno if I like this as much as the Lumiere. I had to use a bit more, I'm not sure I got as good of coverage, and the finish isn't as nice. The colours of the foundation & concealer looked a lot darker in the pot than I would normally wear. And when I put it on, it looked a tiny bit too dark/orangey in the bathroom mirror... but in the pictures it turned out alright, I think. Hmm... It looks a lot less white than the Lumiere I tried yesterday, but I don't know if that's because I used blush & bronzer today, and yesterday I didn't. I guess more experimentation is in order!

FACE:

Signature Minerals Multi-Tasking Concealer under eyes & on blemishes.

Signature Minerals Foundation in 2 Light

Signature Minerals Bronzer in Gran Marnier

Signature Minerals Blush in Rose

Signature Minerals Finishing Veil in Petal

EYES:

First is before, next 2 are after

I love it! Love the lashes too!

Well, I liked the coverage of the Lumiere on you, but I agree with you...I think it's a touch too light for you. I liked the coloring of the other stuff, but the coverage doesn't look as good.

Maybe the Lumiere in a darker color, or as you said, a bronzer?

I just ordered the Lumier sampler and can't wait to get it. I've been using BE but it's too shiny for me. I'm 38 and 38-year old skin just doesn't shine like that!

Nice pics, i ordered some edm samples yesterday, i can't wait to get them.

 

[jenny_p]

you all look really beautiful! i cant wait to try EDM. it will be my first MMU ever!

Lumiere looks too pale on you. Perhaps add a bit of bronzer or go a shade or two darker. Signature looks more your colour, but it's a touch too orange (compared to your neck).

This is really scary- at least the before picture. Notice the patchy brown area on right side of forehead. That's my main coverage issue.

Blush- littlestuff4u pure minerals surreal

Wow, it looks amazing! Thanks for sharing with us!

Hoozey,

You look GREAT! You makeup looks so natural. Love it, especially the blackberry liner. I really like the beige pearl from Littlestuff4u. I'm wearing that today also.

I did the blackberry because my eyes were really bloodshot today and I wanted to try to neutralize that. lol

Those look awesome! You are so cute!
