Everyday Minerals

I've been using Everyday Minerals for many years. It's the first foundation I've found that doesn't break out my problem areas (chin/lower cheek area). It provides light to moderate coverage that you can build up. I don't prefer the finish of mineral makeup to liquid makeup (Maybelline FitME makes my skin look SO dewy and luscious!), but I do like how it keeps my skin looking clear!

oxidizes veryyy quickly. I tried to bake my under eyes with this after applying concealer and my under eyes turned darker than my actual foundation. makes the sides of my nose look really gross and makes foundation crack. definitely don't recommend.

I have mixed skin, and while I like how the EDM bases look on me, I wouldn't recommend this one for anyone with oily skin, it can look SHINY as the day goes on. Coverage is decent, better than say, Lily Lolo.

You can get this on iHerb for like $10, which is nice since in my country this costs closer to $25 a jar :/

Sadly this blush is discontinued. It was the perfect taupe neutral blush on my super fair skin. If anyone finds a dupe, please post it!

I struggle with finding powders with coverage that work for me. Talc makes me soooo itchy so that really limits which powders I can use. Laura Mercier sinks into my pores, Becca didn’t match my skin and looked makeupy, coverfx just hates me. Everything I try from coverfx has broken me out. I used to use the NYX stay more not flat, but this time when I got it, it didn’t have any coverage or mattifying powder. And don’t even get me started on bare mineral, it irritated the crap out of my face. I’ve used every day minerals off and on for about 10 years so I decided to give it another try.
The formula. It’s a loose powder and it has pretty decent coverage. I use a MAC 109 to blen it in over bare mineral complexion perfect or and my skin looks so pretty. Just naturally flawless. This isn’t totally matte. More skin like. Some days, my skin ends up shiny within an hour and I have to layer a mattifying powder on top. Other days it holds up better. On a normal day, it last all day for me (ie no sneezing, wiping nose, naps).
Shade. I have to mix two to get a good match. I mix rosy fair 0C and rosy ivory 1C and I’m around NC 15, revlon buff 150.
Packaging. It has a twisty thing to cover the sifter. I have to pound it to get product out. So I think I’d like the holes to be bigger with the twisty cover. The packaging has become thinner and more flimsy feeling over the years which disappoints me.
Price. I think it’s fair. They used to have better bundle deals but I’m not overly bothered by that.
Overall, this is a great, non irritating mineral powder foundation. It’s the only one I have not only never returned, but also repurchased.
