as title says ^^ ..
which brand do you guys think looks most natural on, with the least powdery look (when applied dry), while still giving good coverage ?

The few brands ive tried look a little too powdery personally.. still awaiting samples from meow, oceanmist and monave though..

Out of the MMU's I've sampled, I would suggest: Lumiere in FF, Aromaleigh in Voile and Aubrey Nicole in Full Coverage. All of these give me very good coverage and it looks very natural. I do have oily skin.

I havent tried too many but i think Oceanmist, Lumiere and BE apply smoothly. I thought EDM was too powdery.

i tried lumiere's VV and luminesse, but i didnt really like them much. I havnt tried FF though, i figured it was more for dry skin (i have oily/combo).. but maybe i should give that a try too ? ..

Yeah, that is what it is listed as, for Normal/Dry skin. I read some comments by some of the girls on here that said it was the best version of the Lumiere foundations. I sampled all the versions. The coverage is best with FF and it "goes into" your skin better. I have not had any adverse reactions due to the fact I have oily skin and it is for dry skin. I do use a rice powder primer after I moisturize. Rice powder holds the oil down very well. The FF provides a more supple look compared to the more matte look of the other two, IMO.

Meow-Flawless Feline

My favorite is Everyday Minerals in all their formulas except Intensive. It's the creamiest I've tried and just melts into my skin.

I use EDM, I mix two together, one of the original glo and one intensive. I also think it the technique you use, might not be the powder. At first when I just starting using MMU it was powdery looking no matter what I used. But now I have my application technique down. I think thats a major part in it!!!

What formulation of the EDM did you have? I find the Intensive to be pretty decent and not very powdery. The most powdery look I get is when I apply the MV and I may be applying too much of it.

Hi
I find that the more coverage ones look powdery on me. I like Fusion of Color, I have been using the foundation for at least 1 1/2 yrs. I have used BE and tried all the lines out there LOL!!!

Make sure you start with a light hand, especially the fuller coverage foundations like Val's Cover Deluxe.

Why didn't you like the intensive? I'm awaiting my samples of EDM, I ordered some in Orig. Glo and some intensive, a heads up would be nice....
