thanks ladies for all your reviews and discussions... and after reading this thread, I placed an order for the trial kits in light, medium and olive LOL, hopefully one of those will be a match... searching for the perfect minerals is such a painful process! the only minerals i've ever used are Bare Minerals, but I've never been really "that" happy with it, so its time to kiss BM goodbye and move on! will post an update once i've received it and tried it!
Just got my package today. I finally found a foundation that matches me!!! I matched well with Light! Winged Butter was a tad too yellow for me. I'm going to wear it out tomorrow and hope it lasts a long time and has good coverage. The sample they sent me for Light was in the semi matte base, which I'm not too keen on because of the sparkles. I somewhat want to get matte, but I'm not sure if it's going to be lighter or darker than the semi matte formula. Anyone know? If the semi matte ends up working out for me, I'm probably gonna order the full size + brushes. My mom is also intriuged by the fact that I paid 3.08 for the sample kit (aka, 3.08 for shipping). Any recs on the brushes would be great too

I use the flat top kabuki from EM for when I want fuller coverage and the regular (long handle?) kabuki for somewhat lighter coverage. The "Eye" kabuki is great for buffing in mineral concealer.
Haven't ordered anything from them for a long time though, since I got put off by all the shenanigans that were going on when they launched the newest site and changed all the prices and all that. Might have to soon, since I want a backup of the Intensive Fair Concealer.

No, I use it to cover blemishes and such, which it's great for. But under the eyes I use YSL Touche Eclat.

HI, i used to be post on the edm forum, (i posted under sangus217) after alot of the issues went down, the girls created this forum to talk on http://www.87px.net/mmf/search.php?search_id=active_topics. Alot of the girls are selling of their edm things dirt cheap if you wanted to try some of the items out.
I just realized I wrote my post wrong (lol). They sample for Light was in Original Glo! Not semi matte. However, I wore it to work for the first time today. I must say it looked very natural and didn't notice the sparkles. Light coverage. I'm quite pleased with it. It didn't make me look greasy (which was what I was expecting from this finish)

YSL is a bit too much for me as I'm trying to save money right now. Or control my money spending habits at least. I might consider buying the concealer though. Perhaps I'll order a sample when I place a order! How long do you find the concealer (the amount of it, not wear) lasts you?

Unfortunately, EDM foundations break me out. They don't even cause normal zits but big, really painful ones
I never ever have zits on my cheeks but these foundations make zits appear even there. I've tried applying them by buffing, tapping and whatever way I could think of but zits always follow. If you have acne prone skin, better be cautious with this brand.

The full size mineral concealer lasts for ages for me. Like a year at least.
(I wasn't saying you need to use YSL, just that I do. There are plenty of great under eye concealers out there in lower price ranges. I happen to like the YSL one.)

I used to Love EDM but after months of using it my skin had became so dry and patchy that you could see I was using foundation, it was really horrible don't know what happened. I know a lot of people compare this with the Laura Mercier mineral powder but I think the LM one it's wayyy better!
