Girls, post your mineral makeup before and afters here!

[Aquilah]

Great thread idea Thais! Can't wait to see the pics!

[Thais]

I'll post some this week, work permitting.

[Mocha17]

great idea

[rejectstar]

I've been playing around with my samples of EDM and J.Lynne, so I thought I'd post a before and after for you all
First time showing my bare face... ahhh!

This is from yesterday. I used:
* J. Lynne Primer Powder in Peach
* J. Lynne Foundation in Fair Neutral 0.7 & Porcelain Neutral 0.3
* J. Lynne Finishing Powder in Porcelain/Fair
* J. Lynne Natural Mineral Glow & Shy Blush on cheeks
* J. Lynne Smooth Lip Cream in Mae
* Everyday Minerals Sunlight Corrector under the eyes
* & Almay Triple Effect Mascara in Black

The first is before, and the next two are after. These were taken inside with a flash. Natural light would have been better, I think... I'll try that next time.
Anyway... As you can see, the foundation took away a little of the redness and smoothed out my complexion a bit. I'm still not thrilled that the little red spots on my forehead from some recently past breakouts are still visible... I don't know whether it's the makeup itself, or just my technique
I really love the lip cream, though... it's all natural, very smooth and the colour is a good one for me I want to try a whole bunch more!

Hope this is useful to some of you! Today I'm going to do my whole face with Everyday Minerals, so I'll post that one soon.

thanks for the pics hilary! that looks great on you

[rejectstar]

Thank you Thais and semantje!

Here's my Everyday Minerals before and after for today :
* Everyday Minerals Foundation in Fair Cool Intensive & Matte
* Everyday Minerals Sunlight Corrector under the eyes
* Everyday Minerals Multitasking Concealer
* Everyday Minerals Siesta & Apple Blush [plus a little J. Lynne Natural Mineral Glow]
* Everyday Minerals Finishing Dust
* J. Lynne Smooth Lip Cream in Mae
* & Almay Triple Effect Mascara in Black

I took these in natural light, with a flash. I tried without a flash, but it's pretty overcast today and my hands are so shaky that I couldn't get a clear one! They still look a bit more true to life than yesterday's though Again, the first is before, and the next two are after. The third is with the lippie and the second without.

beautiful! but your skin looks amazing on "before" shots too

[KimC2005]

They both look really good on you, but I actually like the EDM afters better.
