I just got their samples in the mail, and yep, I have found my HG mineral foundation.
I've tried BE and Everyday Minerals and Alima is so much better than either. BE irritates my face bc of the bismuth, and EM is just so chalky and unnatural looking and none of the shades really matched me from my sample kit.
I've found a good match with Alima, their colour rage is really good and their sample pictures are quite accurate to the actual product. The samples are not free, but it's worth it to get a few different ones because the nuance differences can be quite subtle. The yellow toned shades are quite yellow, I think they are geared more towards Asian ladies, so that might be a thing to keep in mind if you're caucasian.
The consistency is really great, it's very finely milled and it looks really great on. The only thing is that they only have 1 finish for their foundation, which is a satin matte. I wish they'd make a semi-matte finish, but I don't mind because this product is so excellent!!
Definitely worth trying out, you won't be disappointed! I got it because of the great reviews Alima gets on makeupalley.com, and I'm glad I tried it.
I'm an N-1 (Chiffon) in Alima.
