More than one HG

Ok, so how many of you, despite finding your "HG" foundation brand/ color, still search for more matches in other brands? I have a compulsion to find at least one or two matches in a few different brands, perhaps so if one company goes out of business or changes their formula or color I will have others that I know work for me. Presently I rotate and rarely wear the same brand/color two days in a row. Lumiere, Aromaleigh, Signature Minerals and Lauress are my current fav's. How abut you?

Re: More than one HG

I always always, mineral or not, look for a foundation even though I have a HG. ITs like an addiction or something!

Re: More than one HG

I try to find others, even with an HG on hand. One never knows when things will get discontinued, or if a company will shut down.. *knocks on wood*

Re: More than one HG

My HG is Everyday Minerals, but I'm always trying to find a liquid foundation that works for me too!

Re: More than one HG

As you mentioned, companies go out of business or discontinue or change formulations all the time - so nothing wrong with having something else that you know you like. There is a company Valerie Beauty who has just quit formulating mmu to concentrate on skin care I think? and some people who loved her foundation are now scrambling to find something comparable.
I have read on mineral makeup mania before people who have certain brands of foundation that they wear for each season too.

Re: More than one HG

It's almost like a compulsion for me to try different brands. It's never a bad thing to have more than one HG--it's actually an advantage. I get bored easily, and prefer to use different foundations. Also, different brands/formulas serve different purposes. In addition to that, you'd never know if there's a better product out there, unless you try out new stuff. =)

Re: More than one HG

I've been using mineral makeup for 6 years and I've never been loyal to just one company. There is always that desire to try other brands.
