Mineral Makeup Collection Swatches

Shall we make a mineral swatch thread???
I think it will be nice for us to not only post swatches of eyeshadows and blushes; but also to post pics before and after foundation application so other members can see our skin tones and what shades we use; and this would help them pick their own shades.

I will post some swatches later this week.

Re: The Official Mineral Makeup Swatch thread

i love the idea. i'm going to quit using liquid foundation and going to start using mineral foundation. when i went to a BE boutique, i took off the liquid foundation i have on and i notice that i have so many bumps on my cheeks. i'm starting to have an interest in BE. so far, i am happy with their foundation. i'm heading back to the boutique in the mall hopefully on Monday to see what is the size of their foundation and comparing it to the one in Sephora. then once i compare the sizes, i'll purchase it along with a good brush to apply it with.

Periwinkle- those are awesome before and after pictures. I agree w/ blondie that the one with EDM looks the best. It gives you a certain glow that the others don't. Not that you don't look good in all of them..

Great thread idea!

Aileen, you look great in all of the pics! MMU didn't look that good on me! I should try again with Thais' "Eureka" sometime soon!

Re: The Official Mineral Makeup Swatch thread

Thank you ladies! I kinda agree that the EDM FOTD looked the most photogenic, but I don't know, I'm kinda in a Monave kick right now. But thank you for the kind words, I will never go back to liquid/cake foundation ever again!

Now it's time to post your before/after MMU pics!

Thais, you are truly the mineral queen. I should get a camera and do the same with mine.

Re: The Official Mineral Makeup Swatch thread

Thank you Thais for the incredible swatches!!!!

Really the EDM Weekend Getaway doesn't look so peachy, it's the 3rd from the top right? it looks more pink, the 2nd one from the top is super duper peachy I wannit!! LOL

I think I should order the Girl's Day blush it looks prettier and more warm than the Weekend Getaway :-(


WOW for the e/s swatches, really they're so helpful for me that I cannot see them IRL, now I want Sex on the Beach that I didn't like it before from the site's swatches!!!

Re: The Official Mineral Makeup Swatch thread

Weekend Getaway is described as peach and pink blend . Probably if you want a peachy peachy blush from EDM, your best bet would be B&B blush - the pic is almost orange and it's described as "deep peach with soft fine sparkle"
