Thanks so much girls, I think I'm going to try out the foundation in intensive and matte. I'll let you all know how the formulas work out!!

I LOVE the Intensive and Matte formulas! This is my "holy grail" foundation now I love how it feels and how it makes my skin look

BTW, you can order more than 1 sample kit if your first one doesn't work out for you. I have gotten 2 in the past 3 weeks (separate orders) so that I could really test a lot of colours, and $4 shipping is nothing! These samples last for a long time

Hi I'm NC25 + combi skin anyone can rec. wat shade shall I choose?
Thanks

I just got the sample package in the mail today! I swiped some on my hand, and it feels so nice. Can't wait to try it out tomorrow.

i got my starter kit today. i'm a medium beige in bare escentuals and i thought its the same shade as everyday minerals neutral medium beige..so i e-mailed everyday minerals and they said it's the same..turns out..its lighter. i think medium beige summer is what i should've got. =(

Hi, I have a similar complexion as you right now and I'd like to know what shade in EDM you use?

I've just recieved some samples that I ordered. I gave up on EM a while back because they looked too chalky on me, but after researching mineral makeup some more I decided to give it another go. I've gone for a darker shade as I read that too light a shade creates the chalky look and I have discovered Fawn works perfectly for my very pale but warm toned complexion. I also got a sample of Siesta blush which is really, really lovely.

The highlight of my order is the flocked sponge. I could never get the coverage I wanted with a brush, it left my pores wide open and seemed to take forver to layer up the foundation to get the look I wanted. I take the flocked sponge and dip it into the powder then rub it on my face, it blends like a liquid foundation and looks flawless. I get the heavy coverage I want in one swipe. I really reccomend it!

I really want to try some of the eye colours but I really can't tell from the website what the colours are like? Would anyone be able to post up some swatches?

I just ordered my samples today - I can't wait for them to arrive!

Right now I'm using BE, but EM's prices are so much better that I may be tempted to switch once I use up my other stuff.

I have almost ALL of the e/s, so if you have questions about any in particular, I could help you out. (The only swatches I know of are in a photo album belonging to an EDM Yahoo group. Of course, you'd be welcome to join that if you like.) The swatches on the EDM website are AWFUL, but their word descriptions are pretty good.

So I've finally recieved my package (I'm in Hong Kong at the mo, so shipping is a pain), and test driven all the items.

Here's what I got:
Light-winged butter in semi-matte
Golden Medium in matte
Buttered Tan in intensive
Everyday Bronzer
Intensive Medium concealer

I've tried the golden medium and buttered tan, but are finding both a little too light (thus, have not even considered LWB). Too light in that it almost blends with my facial skin tone, but the lightest part of my face (i.e. the... brow bones?.. or.. cheeks? i'm not sure...), so my face looks a shade or two lighter than my arms, but not too unnaturally so. I like the matte coverage MUCH better (especially in this disgusting summer humidity), as the intensive is coming off a little too shiny/glowy. I like the concealer, and it's pretty spiffy in terms of coverage- though even the intensive medium seems a tad light on. I follow the concealer by buffing in a little more foundation where I've used the concealor, and it works out fine.
The bronzer, I don't like so much. It's a bit... brick-red for my taste, but maybe I'll use it for a dramatic look some day.

I'm going on vacation for a few days this weekend where I'll be tanning a little more so I'm thinking I'm going to try to get another sample package w/ an order of medium tan (the next darkest foundation in warm that doesn't apparently have peach undertones). I'll probably have to mix it with some Golden medium/buttered tan for a better match, but it's better than this too-light shade I've got going on now. Does anyone have any other suggestions in terms of shades?

Nevertheless, I'm liking the coverage, but do find it's not as impervious to the oilies as BM.... I might have to layer on a little more mineral veil than I'm used to, but it's better than the stingy-itchiness of BM!

Ooh do you have a link to the Yahoo group?

Sure! http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/emusergroup/
