    This a meh for me lucky it just a sample. I found that it didn't really even out my skin tone. I tried many thin layers but I found it just got cakey. I tried just 1-2 thin layers but really buffing it but it didn't really do anything. I tried buffing it less which also didn't do anything. I was even using their round top kabuki! I also found it harder to spot conceal with this type of foundation, if i conceal before foundation it gets all buffed off, and if I conceal after foundation I found my liquid based conceal kindof cakes up with the powder foundation.

    The price was great and I really wanted to like the product but maybe I just fail at mineral makeup.

    I tried out all the finishes of the base. There is intensive (slightly heavier coverage, matte finish), matte (medium coverage, matte), semi matte (medium coverage, has a sheen to it), original glow (more for dry skin, has a sheen, light coverage).
    I tried. I really really tried to love this mineral makeup. I don't know if it is because my skin is too oily or if it's just not the right kind of mineral makeup for me, but I am not a fan.
    The Everyday Minerals just doesn't sit right on me. After about 2-3 hours of wearing the makeup, I have nothing left on my nose and forehead, and my cheeks, the side of my nose and chin just have blotches of makeup on them. You can literally SEE the blotches. I've never experienced that before.
    I use the oil absorbing kaolin clay finishing powder over top - but find it does nothing. It actually makes me feel like I'm wearing clay. I know it sounds insane, but to raise my eyebrows, my forehead feels heavy, like I'm wearing a clay mask.
    Overall, I think Everyday minerals is a great product. Great prices, adorable packaging, it's awesome that you can purchase sample sizes, cheap delivery, and a nice short ingredient list. I just find it is not the right makeup for me. I think a lot of people love it, and its looks awesome on a lot of people, it's just not for me.

    I heard about this mineral makeup online while researching a foundation that had good coverage, was good for oily acne prone skin, & was light for the summer months when you really don't want something heavy on your skin in hot humid weather. I am a die hard fan of M.A.C products and have been using their studio fix for the last 15 years, which I love but it is a little heavy for summer wear. Everyday minerals offers a sample kit for just $4.00 to pay for shipping which was incredible. You have a choice of 3 base colors for your foundation (lots to choose from a pretty hard to find the right color) 1 concealer, and 1 blush. I also added a sample of their kaolin powder for $2.50 that is made with clay and is supposed to control oil (you wear this under the foundation) the kaolin powder doesn't seem to have any effect on oil control for me. Out of the 3 base colors 1 of them was pretty good match. The coverage however is not very good, I would say it is more sheer (this is in the matte series which is supposed to offer good coverage) It does leave a powdery look to the skin so you can definitely see you are wearing makeup. When my skin does start to oil up the makeup does cake a bit. The concealer is made of the same ingredients as the foundation (I choose the multi tasking one) this didn't work at all. I did really like the blush which I choose in "new car smell" It is a nice peachy color that gives your cheeks a nice natural glow with just a bit of shimmer. I didn't have any reaction to these products at all, and I usually break out like crazy anytime I try something new on my skin. That was a plus. The samples are a fair size, enough that you can give them a good try. Overall I would say these products are just OK probably better for someone that doesn't have oily or combination skin, and is not looking for a lot of coverage. Definitely worth a try considering they are free.
