    I order this off of everydayminerals.com. First off, let me tell you that the customer service is great. My order always arrives really fast, and if there is ANYTHING you are not satisfied with, just let them know and they will take care of it! Plus you get to choose some free goodies with every order, who doesn't love that?! :)

    I like the matte formula, as I have very oily skin. I find that the intensive formula starts to get greasy throughout the day, and the other formulas have a bit of glimmer in them which I don't like.

    I use a kabuki brush to apply my foundation, and it works best if you do it in light layers or else it will start to look cakey. As for coverage, it's not great for covering up acne scarring and blemishes, but its the perfect amount of coverage for evening out any redness, in your skin tone. I also find that it works well for undereye concealing. I find the best way is to use a concealer under this foundation if you want flawless skin. (I use Rev lon Colorstay Blemish Concealer.) The finish is amazing! You can barely tell you have anything on your skin, it looks sooo natural. I used to get compliments on how nice my skin was, and I had really bad acne but apparently no one could tell I was wearing makeup! You can't feel it on either, it's very light.

    The price is great. I believe it is about $11CAD for a large container of foundation which will last a while. EVerydayminerals.com recently stopped doing their custom sets, where you could choose what you wanted in a large set...which is really lame. I'm very disappointed about that, but I still love the product and will continue to buy it.

    Amazing foundation. Mineral make-up is the way to go, and Everyday Minerals is my go-to brand. Price is reasonable and product works well. Light feeling with awesome coverage.

    I have tried seven or more mineral makeups--many send sample for not much cost, and some places charge no shipping for samples.

    Nearly all the samples I received were in tiny plastic bags that made it nearly impossible to get the product out.

    Everyday Minerals, for $2.50, sends a large amount in a sturdy plastic jar. The colors for foundation, shadow, blush, finishing powder, and concealor give you a large variation of colors to choose from.

    The main difference between Everyday Minerals and all the others I have tried is that the products are so finely milled--such tiny particles--that coverage is smooth and sleek and takes very litle product. Also, because of the fineness of the powders, the pigment is quite intense and you only need a small amount to achieve results.

    The prices are so much less than any other mineral makeup I have tried, that I can easily build my collection, and the samples are huge.

    Their brushes are magnificent. I previously paid a fortune for sable and other animal fur brushes from an eyeliner brush to the largest brush of all. Nearly all of them shed all over my face, even after using some for a year---I kept trying as I was determined to win the shedding game! No luck.

    Some brushes kept rinsing out with dark pigment even after dozens of washings.

    Also, the long-handled Kabuki brush mentioned by another reviewer as costing $10, is available for $6 with the shorter handle. Same exact size brush on top. And I prefer the shorter handle for swirling the foundation around my face.

    The packaging is superb. Nearly every other container from other companies chipped and splintered and broke off in pieces after a short time. Everyday Minerals has sturdy tops and bottoms, and the medium and larger sizes have the plastic screen holding the makeup down.

    Don't remove the plastic screen right away because the containers are bursting with product, and you will surely spill quite a bit.

    They often send free samples--at Xmas, I got two full size blushes for free--huge 6 g sizes, and two medium size eyeshadows, 2.5 g.

    Nearly every time I order, they include a surprise, or some special is offered on the site.

    The packages arrive in a few days with normal shipping.

    This is the finest makeup and the best value I have tried. The only problem is that you must be sure to use very little product, especially if you use their brushes which are synthetic with the finest softest hair, they hold a lot of makeup--a second reason to start with a tiny amount and the third reason is the deep pigmentation--careful with the blush: you can look like a clown in an instant.

    They have a huge variety of blushes and finishing powders to choose from, including, rice powder. The darker finishing powders are the finest milled of all the makeups and provides a wonderful sheen over foundation--with or without color.

    I should add that my skin is combination and can become very oily, but this makeup controls the oil all day. I am also terribly acne prone, and never had breakouts with Everyday Minerals, which I did with some other MMU's.

    Probably best of all is that their concealors are different from their foundations---most other MMU's use the same forumla. And, again, they offer a great variety of shades.

    Hope you will take a chance on this terrific makeup and wonderful value.
