deppstar Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 F&Q and know howsHello!! I'm pretty new to Mineral Makeup (MMU) and seems like there is a growing interest in them. Post your favourite brands, colours, applications of MMU here. for starters, check out this thread: http://www.flowerpod.com.sg/forums/index.php?showtopic=59014 post away! ------------------ my swatches. Everydaymineral blusher swatches Please take note I swatched quite alot per colour. and take in consideration that if your face is oily. so matte will turn glowy for some IMO after a while. I made 2 more swatches. I think there were a couple of repeat colours. nick nack and shortcake and email me. http://static3.filefront.com/images/person.../kvayihkyny.jpg http://static3.filefront.com/images/person.../xwaxkjnkkr.jpg Posted these a couple of pages back. added in the colours on the picture for easier keeping http://static3.filefront.com/images/person.../trmwfnaqmv.jpg http://static3.filefront.com/images/person.../hsupasulzq.jpg ------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tetteke Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I was just about to make a thread like this. =] I'm fairly new to make-up in general and I've only tried the Bare Escentuals foundations. I've stopped usng them though because I think they made me break-out, and it was only until after that I found out that it contains an irritating ingredient -- bismuth something-chloride. sorry, I don't have the name off the top of my head. Other brands I know are: - Sheer Cover (my roommate loves this stuff, but I've heard a lot of bad reviews on this actually) - Bare Escentuals (beware of the irritating ingredient) - LaurEss (I want to try this one the most, it has high reviews...) - Meow (I just learned about this one...) - Everday Minerals (average reviews...) Are there other brands? Of the ones above, which gives the most coverage but minimizes breakouts? I've also heard all mineral make up contains corn starch? Or is this only with Bare Escentuals? It's the corn startch that is irritating, I believe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Inconnu Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Has anyone tried Organic Wear? Apparently it doesnt use any chemicals at all and it is 100% organic. ^^ http://www.organicwearmakeup.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azngel Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 are primers and finishing powders really important when using MMU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lilaaa Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 i find that the "wet application" method is best for my skin. i use the every minerals brand in winged butter and golden medium. first i would pour a little amount in the top, then spirtz some mac fix+ on my buffer brush and just buff in the minerals. its really simple and actually feels refreshing for my skin(: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lilaaa Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 are primers and finishing powders really important when using MMU? to me it is. i always use the smashbox photo light primer & it makes my pore less visible and face just overall smoother prior to application.

Guest grllprops Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 i think the most popular ones are BE(bare escentuals), and EM(everyday minerals). em totally rocks my world (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deppstar Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 are primers and finishing powders really important when using MMU? if you have oily skin then I think primers works better. your makeup stay on longer. for MMU, primers are usually kaoline (EM start to finish), rice, oat, or silk dust. ^^ hey. I also wanna know about CS Mineral powders! any reviews!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xsmitten Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I've only used EM, and I really like it. I spray toner on my face after putting on mineral makeup. IMO, it makes my makeup stay longer and looking fresher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nanshi Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hey, the FlowerPod forum said that Everyday Minerals in "Intensive" gives medium-to-full coverage, is that true? I'm looking for a mineral makeup with full coverage, but medium is better than sheer. I highly recommend Silk Naturals MMU because it really feels like silk and is really nice and you get to mix your own colors, BUT the coverage is just too light for me... MMUs are so trial & error with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find intensive coverage to be very good. except if not buffed properly, my pores tends to be enlarged apparently buffed cosmetics coverage is even heavier than intensive formula from EDM. you might wanna check them out?

Guest BEBixAMY Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 i use buff'd minerals and sometimes lumiere cosmetics. Buff'd cosmetics is suppose to be as heavy as Cory Cosmetics. I love the finish of buff'd minerals. they come in extremely yellow tones so becareful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eunbit Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 how is this an FAQ thread when there are no FAQ's answered? and this topic has been extensively posted on in the form of bareMinerals thread, etc. my recommendation: don't use mineral makeup products w/o extensively researching the ingredients. anything containing bismuth oxychloride (like is found in bareMinerals) you put on your precious skin at a great risk. if you're willing to sacrifice perfectly healthy skin before the age of 20 in order for a easy quick makeup job, get ready for extreme dryness, oiliness, patching and flaking, worsening of existing acne and introduction of cystic acne. just my two cents.

Azngel Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 what should i do to ensure that my mineral powder doesnt look chalky and too powdery? exfoliate, tone, moisturize, dont apply too much...is there any other tricks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jaeeeee Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 i like everyday minerals. i used sheer cover and BE, but those didn't go good with my skin. i think it really depends on your skin type and your preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
