Guest d-0ne 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? make sure you buff really good and spray a few sprits of mac fix + on the brush.

Guest Carmen. Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hmm, I use Cover FX Powder FX. And it's a mineral powder foundation (because I've got oily skin.) http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtm...shouldPaginate= The ingredients don't list bismuth oxychloride. I have yet to try the wet method, but just with a brush isn't too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mineforkeeps. Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 For EDM, does anyone know what shade if just slightly yellower than Fair Neutral? or what other shade I could mix with Fair Neutral to make it slightly yellower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest husssh Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 i started off with bareminerals and it made me break out like crazy. so i switched to bb cream and that made my skin nice and smooth again, then i decided to give bareminerals another try, and i broke out again. and to add that their tone isn't really yellow for asian skintone, it's more.. warm tannish. but ironically, i have to admit, i LOVE their mineral veil.. it's one thing that i can't live w/o now.. then i decided to give everyday minerals a try and my skin has been getting better. i like it so much more than bareminerals, i feel like i'm not wearing much. the color is just a little too light, but tone wise, it matches so well so i'll def. be ordering from them.. as soon as i find my perfect shade.

mchelly114 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 i love EM. it's way cheaper and feels better. i tried bare essentuals on at the store and it looked really thick and cakey on my face. EM's powders are really fine and feels very light on my skin. they have different types of powders to accommodate your skin type too. hurray for free samples!

Guest `mandee<3; Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Currently I use Bare Minerals, and honestly, I think it makes me look orange?? Being an asian that lives in north america, makeup that goes well with yellow skin tones are hard to find. Recently I've come across a loose powder that is extremely popular in Japan, and Korea too I think? I think it's a Korean brand. It's called Theatrical Powder from the brand Palgantong. I haven't tried it, but it's been recommended in my Japanese magazines. I've just ordered it from Sasa.com and it's on its way over to me. <33 Here's the description on the site: "Theatrical powder from Korea is make up of Ceramin ingredient from UK. The size of particles is just half as the other particles. It reflects more light from your skin to even the tone with natural appearance. Thin and comfortable, brighten your skin just like Movie Star. So, it is also called “Star Powder” in Japan and Korea. Over these 10 years, this powder is commonly used in Korean Movies, TV programme and drama. Over 5,000,000 powder were sold in Japan, as No.1 loose powder in Japan" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest azncrow7 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 ^ I've read about that powder being pink-undertoned and fairly dark. D: So far, I use EDM Golden Fair Matte. It's not bad, but I think I could use more coverage and a better finish. Can't afford Fix+, so I'll just try it with distilled water and see how that goes. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Baby.doll Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 is there any cheaper alternatives to mac fix+? In other vidoes on Youtube, they said water(in a small spray bottle) would work. http://youtube.com/watch?v=4ktcN1BOvRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPER yellow!! I am pretty yellow myself and I am using fawn (light colour with strong yellow undertones). i mixed fawn with WB if im wearing semi matte formule, cuz it runs abit too light for me is there any cheaper alternatives to mac fix+? water + glyercin evene spray (did i spell it right?) rosewater any face spray. ----------------------------- I just received my Lumiere foundations! looks quite close to fawn, except it's slightly darker. hopefully it's a good match!

Guest azncrow7 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 ^can i use toners? like witch hazel? im kinda confused on what exactly the mac fix + is Fix+ is to help set your make-up, like how loose powders do except it's a liquid you spray. Can also help give powders a smoother finish~ Aren't toners to help clean your skin from any traces of make-up and the sort? It would probably be better to use distilled water or another face spray. o_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LUCKY SE7EN Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 does anyone use everyday minerals foundations that are in the 'olive' family? i thought olive was supposed to be better-suited for asians... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deppstar Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 ^ yeah. i think popular shades are light olive and olive-golden medium. darkness of golden medium is somewhat like winged butter, just less yellow, more olive/beige undertone. i don't have the others so i cannot judge Evian haha. yeah!
