Beautimus! But you were beautimus to begin with. Not fair...

ha ha! yall are so funny with the Carmine!
Almost every processed food is alowed a certain amount of hair/insect parts in its products.
I saw a special on 20/20 about that like 8 years ago. Alot of the processed stuff we use/eat has other stuff in it as long as the levels are below a certain point

Hungry now?

Y'all are funny. But she notes when Carmine is included, so if you are squeamish, you can choose not to use it. But I must admit, I was a little skeptical at first; then I realized it's probably been used in so much other stuff I've used that I might as well just deal. At least this way, I have a choice.

I have a fear if I wipe my face with my hand all the mineral foundation would come off since it is a powder and I am really going through an allergic reaction to my face so I need the coverup at this time.

I have a "muzzle" around my mouth that is darker than the rest of my face, and my cheeks are way lighter than most of my face. You can see varying levels of color. Before Hosted on Fotki After Hosted on Fotki This foundation is amazing. It looks totally natural, but my skin is even. Other than e/s and b/g to fill in my brows, I'm not wearing anything else. This is my new favorite thing. Also, I am attaching a swatch of two of the MilanMinerals pigments in comparison to MAC pigments. The top row is MM "The Truth", compared to MAC Blue Brown pigment, and the bottom is MAC Nightlight, MM Envious, MAC Golder's Green, and MAC Emerald Green. I thought the green's were closer, but The Truth is identical to Blue Brown. Everything can be bought at MilanMinerals.

You look great. Thanks for sharing. I love your hair!!!!

Huuuge thanks for posting this! I've never tried minerals because they aren't available here in Singapore. I'm thrilled they ship internationally!

btw - what colour are you in Mac? I'm NC50 in Mac Studiofix powder foundation & trying to choose a shade.

I am an NC42 in Studio Stick Foundation. I'm wearing Brooklyn in the photo, but I also tried Carmen which is almost the exact same shade but with a stronger red undertone. HTH

Man, I wish they had some in stores. I'd love to pick some up.

Quandolak,mineral makeup is very good at covering up blemished skin, you just have to find the right shade. Also applying it wet provides you with more coverage than dry application.Candace

Wow, I've been contemplating using MilanMinerals and I must say you're the first person I've seen that has given me the green light...

Your face looks flawless and eyebrows are fierce

 

[frocher]

Your skin looks great, and I LOVE the way it filled in your brows.

 

[HayleyVengeance]

looks good

 

[Twinkle_Twinkle]

Your after pic looks great. I just got my order of pigments from MilanMinerals. The cools are great, and size isn't huge and overwhelming like MAC pigments, plus Candace is great.

- Nice locs too btw
