hi! I would recommend medium tan, light tan and medium deep. I'm not sure what undertones you have, but EDM has revamped their foundation section, and it's become quite comprehensive regarding different undertones. Also, their customer service is excellent and extremely helpful, so you could consider sending them an email regarding what shades they would recommend.

I don't have any suggestions regarding blushes as I've barely touched mine, but I would highly recommend intensive tan concealer!

Hi thanks for this. I will def get samples. I have yellow undertones so hopefully one of these will suit me.

Hi,

I'm a Mac NC43 and I would recommend the Medium tan and also the Buttered tan, both are beautiful!

And for a concealer I would recommend the Sunlight concealer for dark circles around the eyes.

Good luck!!!

Hi

Can anyone tell me how I apply the concealer. Do I apply it before or after foundation? Do I use a brush etc.

Thanks

I dab the concealer on with my finger, blend it with a brush and then apply foundation. With normal foundation, I usually apply concealer after putting on foundation but with minerals I usually put concealer first.

I love Everyday Minerals because I can put them on with my fingers, blend and it doesn't look unnatural

I guess you can always use a sponge or a brush, too.

Just a heads up. Their sample kits now have sifters and the jars have much improved. Also from what I read they are working on getting mineral makeup dispenser w/brush for an easier carry on the go. Not sure if they will make one like the BE compacts.

How would you pic the right colour for EM?...I tend to think i'm darker than I already am :S
and anyone who lives an CA and has the product, did it take long for you to get it and cost more because of the shipping fees?

I got my sample kit today, and the sample jars now look like this and do indeed have little sifters.

no spillage either, when I got them they had transparent film over the holes and I punched thru that with my tweezers.

I tried the sample sets (twice, even) and LOVED them. With bare minerals, the fair was still a little dark for me, but Everyday Minerals lightest shade is PERFECT! I use the matte and sometimes layer the intensive over it and it looks wonderful. The intensive formula has a little sparkle, which makes me glow. I don't know how well it would work for older women, but I'm 20 and I think it's lovely. I might actually switch from Bare Minerals to Everyday Minerals. I'm still going to try both a little more, but I'll definitely buy from Every Minerals again.

With the sample, I got pink ribbon as a blush. It is so pretty and soft. I'm going back to buy the full size soon. I got the sunshine as a concealer. I really do like it a lot. I have a little unevenness around my mouth area and it fixes it better than regular concealer. I'll be buying that as well.

I'm really satisfied with every product I've tried from Everyday Minerals so far. I even sent my mom and some of my friends for samples and everybody else seems really happy too. One of them was a long time Bare Minerals fanatic and she's actually switching for good.

I was wondering if Everyday Minerals tend to rub off like Bare Minerals do? I used Bare Minerals for the longest time and it used to rub off on some of my sweaters when I accidentally touched my face.. Or even on my boyfriend's black shirts when I leaned on him =[ I'm really hoping Everyday Minerals is different, I ordered the sample set to try but I'd like to find out since I haven't received it yet :) Thank you!

I've not had any problems with EM rubbing off. I use the Intensive formula and apply it with their flat top brush (which is awesome, BTW) and EM just melds with my skin. I can even use my beloved MAC Brit Wit cream blush without any problems.

I really like the Semi-Matte finish (Sandy Fair) and some of the e/s (Good China, In The Garden) and blushes (Natural, Waffle Cone). However, Siesta blush has faded away pretty fast and I'm not fond of the brushes too. Considering to switch to Alima.

I'm a happy Alima user (for more than a year) but I recently ordered the Everyday Minerals sample kit to check out since it has so many fans. I really liked the shades I received, and the sample jars with little sifters are great...so cute, but the texture was not nearly as creamy as Alima - it felt chalky in comparison. I may play around with it a little more but I'm chicken about experimenting too much at once because I have rosacea with super sensitive skin.

I use a bare minerals brush to apply EM, and I find it doesn't really apply all that well. I'm thinking of just switching back to liquid because I'm not having much luck with any mineral products.
