Mineral Make up: before and after

[lilita]

I think I am addicted to MMU

This was yesterday morning with prob. just a little too much foundation on. I am still experimenting with how much to use, wet/dry, bursh/sponge etc.

BEFORE & AFTER

Lumiere VV - Light-Med Warm, Lumiere Ruby blush & Nars FunnyFace lipstick.

Today, trying a lighter coverage (can still see my freckles):

BEFORE & AFTER

Same Lumiere VV foundation (I love this so much!)

Lumiere Terracotta blush & Nars Blonde Venus lipstick.

**UPDATE**

I ended up selling my Lumiere Lt-Med Warm and am now using Lt-Med Golden (VV) which is a much better match to my neck color than in the above photos. I don't look quite so ghostly.

I just bought a full sized medium warm (and another light med. golden b4 prices went up) thinking that may be the color- I have a smaller light-medium warm and could get away with wearing that now but the light-medium golden is just so perfect, you know? Glad you found your color. You look great!

 

[lilita]

Thank you, Hoozey! I have a sample size of Medium Golden and I agree with you - it looks too olive-yellow. Definitely too dark for me on its own.

I mixed a little bit of this with the Lt-Med Golden (I bought a small jar via the MMM forum) to see how it might work for me in summer and it's hard to tell... I go "brown" when I tan, I think the Goldens may be too "olive/golden"... I may end up buying some Medium Warm to see how that mixes with the Lt-Med Golden.

How would you descirbe the Medium warm? Is it more peachy? more bronze?

I agree with you the Lt-Med Golden is perfect for now! Come summer and it'll be back to more sampling/mixing experiments! (sigh)

 

[Hoozey]

Lilita-

I haven't received the medium warm, just ordered it, but will let you know if I think it will work. I was lucky to find my match for winter on my first try but I don't enjoy sampling and mixing to get the right color. I just gave away so much BE stuff because of the dreaded itch that one foundation that doesn't match seems like nothing. I think I may buy a little of the colorless base to make the medium golden useful... I forgot about that until I was writing this post and lamenting about the full jar I have. Did you see that Lumiere now has estimates on how long a product should last per gram? For foundation I think it was 2-5 per gram and that would mean max. of 60 applications for full sized and I know I will get way more than that. I've used it at least 30 times and barely made a dent in the product.
