Hi,
I have acne prone, very oily skin, which gets shiny within about an hour after make-up application. I’ve tried EDM in both Matte and Intensive, as well as their finishing powder, but nothing seems to prevent shine (I found that both formulas actually seemed to increase shine, compared to my normal Sheer Miracle foundation). My sister recently bought me the ID BareVitamins gel primer, which reduced the staying power of my foundation dry, but increased it wet, did nothing for my shine, and broke me out.

I think it’s the silicone that broke me out, so I’m wondering if you’ve tried the Primp & Preen: Premiere Puss Primer from Meow Cosmetics, or what your general experiences with powdered primers were like.

Thanks!

Jane Cosmetics has a mineral line. Have you had any products from them, and what are your thoughts? Thanks

Have you tried the Lauress Ethereal foundation yet? I just ordered some and I am curious about your opinion of it. Also, what shade of Monave foundation do you use? I ordered the Monave flat top foundation brush and noticed it is made of synthetic fibers and not animal hair. Their website said it was fine to use for their foundations. My question is will this brush also be ok for applying other MMU foundations such as Lauress?

When I first started using mineral makeup I didn’t have this problem but lately my makeup has been slowly creasing near my mouth every time I talk / smile so I regularly have to use my finger and smooth it out. Is it because of the cold winter weather? Am I applying too much? Am I getting wrinkles?!

Thanks

Hi Sophie!

I haven’t mastered putting on mineral makeup blush. So I’d like to see how you’d do it live
