but after 5 minutes i still looked like there was no makeup on.. i know some people like that look, but there was really nothing on my face.. so i always had to put tons to make my face look good... cause i have uneven skin or blemishes and it wouldn't cover it no matter how much i'd put and also it would fade off by the end of the day and im a nurse and i sweat a lot and my job always had me sweating and running around on my feet and stuff and it would just make me look oily and gross..

i guess it just didnt work out for me

oh man..i'm sorry i hate to get my hopes up about a product and it not deliver....i use the paintbrush thing all over my face to cover my scars and little blue veins(for some reason i got them when i was pregnant and they never went away...thinking about having them zapped) plus i'm so pale being a redhead that i have to have color or i look like a corpse...my mom always tells me don't foret to put your lips on! i sweat and it stays on and doesn't make my face look oily except my t-zone in the summer time. i love my face wash, etc. (posted a thread about it) but i still have blackheads on my nose and chin...the pore strips work somewhat but is there a way i can get rid of them all together...since you have a make-up forum i figured you might know some tips!!! do tell....

Bare Minerals - blech

Everyday Minerals - Yay!

EM doesn't contain bismuth (which clogs pores and makes me itch), is a lot cheaper than BE and doesn't make me break out. You can order free samples from their website for just the cost of shipping!

Check out - Everyday Minerals

Just ordered my sample kit of Everyday Minerals. Now can compare the two and see how they work. Thank you for all the information.

EM has different formulations - Intensive, Matte, Semi-Matte and Original Glo... The Original Glo isn't so great, I look oily really fast. I'll blend the Matte and Semi-Matte together to get the right shade... I've heard the Intensive formula is just awesome. I keep meaning to order a sample of that...

There is a bit of a difference between the formulas. The Original Glo turned orange on me really quick (and made me really shiney), but the matte/semi-matte mix didn't. If the samples you ordered don't work too well, order another sample kit in different colors/fomulations... You can order as many sample kits as you want, but you can only get one at a time.


BTW - The sample jars are a good size. I don't need to use a whole lot and can get a couple weeks use out of 'em! Totally worth the small shipping charge!

Thanks for all the great info everyone!
I just ordered my sample kit from EM as well. It would be great if it works out since BM is a little expensive and I've read several reviews about how it's kinda cakey or chalky for those with oily skin (like me!). SC seems cool too, but I don't like the idea of having to be on the hook with them for a purchase every 3 months. I just don't use makeup THAT much and having to cancel and restart every so often just to get the makeup is a bit of a PITA to me.

So excited for new makeup!
