Everyday Minerals

I have been using this forever. I love the product and the colors are great but the packaging is terrible and you get very little product for the price. All that being said, i love the ingredients and it’s a great daily foundation that’s all natural.

I really can't believe this foundation has such great reviews. When I got this foundation I immediately thought it would be too dark on me even though I bought the lightest shade. That didn't turn out to be a problem though since it has about as much coverage as translucent powder. I have used powder foundation for many years now so I know it's limited how high the coverage can be, but why would you even use something that doesn't even cover redness and especially when it's a powder. I have no idea what I'm gonna do with the rest of this powder as I can't even use it as a setting powder since it's so dark.

This was an impulse buy from iHerb. Didn't expect much from it but was pleasantly surprised.

First off, for some context, I'm Chinese with dehydrated oily skin living in the tropics and have some redness around the tip of my nose and the chin area under my lower lip. This yellow powder is a colour-corrector, not a concealer, and it does an amazing job correcting the reddened areas to match my skin colour. Incidentally, it also helps to brighten up these reddened and dulled areas too.

I use a damp micro Beautyblender to stipple and blend the powder onto my bare skin prepped with my super-barrier. After waiting a few seconds for it to set, I then apply my EM Base (matte) with the normal-sized Beautyblender. Can't even tell I'm wearing colour-corrector. With this, I don't even have to use a concealer.

One last thing, it doesn't work on dark eye circles and brownish acne scars. Probably because those are different colours.

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.
