mineral makeup - Everyday Minerals or other recs?

[trixie459]

I've used Everyday Minerals matte powder foundation for the past three years and really like the coverage and price (half the cost of BareMinerals). However, I recently read that they changed their formula to include lauroyl lysine, which can cause breakouts. Lots of recent reviews indicate that many people have had problems with the new formula, which makes me very hesitant to reorder.

So...I'm looking for anyone who is using the NEW formula - tell me about it and how you have reacted (or not).

Recommendations for other mineral makeup (prefer to stay under $30 and nothing too glittery - I like matte) are welcome, too!

I actually really like the ELF mineral foundation and blush. I haven't tried the blemish powder yet. www.eyeslipsface.com/minerals/face

How's the coverage on this one, Glw?

Very good. I would not consider it "light" coverage, but it's not as good as a liquid (I use Revlon Colorstay usually).

That's what I wanted to hear. I need to use something like that as opposed to my BM for setting. I like coverage, but if I am not careful, BM can give me TOO much coverage over my BB cream. IDK why I have been so hesitant to try ELF, it's only 5 freakin bucks! LOL! Thanks!

Haha, yeah give it a try! I really like the brush it comes with, too.
