Taylor Made Mineral foundation

[euphrosyne_rose]

i just ordered a few samples of mineral foundation from TMM and I was wondering if anyone has used this? I was using the new MAC MSF Loose Powder Foundation and it started making my skin break out in little tiny bumps. I'm using Clinique's powder foundation in the compact now but I wanted to try something else. I keep reading about the bismuth so when I found that TMM didn't contain it, I decided to try it. Any feedback would be great!!
Thanks!

yep, I have 2 TMM powder foundations. Ophelia and I can't think of the name of the other one. I also have a few other powder foundations from various mineral make up sites (coastal scents, beauty from the earth, Mad minerals, etc) TMM is ok but a bit chalky/ashen for me, the one I find I use the most is from beauty from the earth (also has no bismuth). Funny thing, I've just started to use MAC's mineralized pressed powder and have also noticed the red spots, I didn't connect the 2 until you mentioned it.

I'm pretty sure mine are from the MAC, which sucks b/c I really like the MAC. My skin had really gotten very clear and then a few weeks after I started using the MAC, I would get little bumps on my cheeks and chin that I wouldn't call pimples, but just really annoying bumps. I've gone back to my Clinique for the time being and the bumps are starting to clear up.

I get the same little bumps you described, I've used 3 different MAC foundations & 3 times it's happened

I'm sticking to my mineral make up foundations from now on.

If TMM doesn't work for you I suggest you try the ones from Beauty from the Earth & see how you go with that.

I got in my samples from TMM and I ordered from them AFTER Archetype and The Shespace so I'm impressed with the speed of the delivery. My free sample was their pigment Twinkle and I LOVE IT!!! It looks like a shimmery, iridescent white in the baggie, but once you put it on, it has a shimmery minty green/bluish sheen to it. Once I got outside in the sunlight, it was even more minty green!! I definitely give this one a

!!!

I actually ordered 2 samples, one that I thought was the closest and the next color up in case it was too pale. I got Ophelia and I can't remember the name of the other one. So far I really like it, but I find that my skin is kind of dry. Then again, I've been having issues with my skin lately so it's possible the mineral powder is fine and it's just my skin. I think the heat isn't helping either. Ugh!
