I've heard of everyday mineral too, weird everybody is saying the same thing about the coverage or lack of, good to know not to go down that path.

I haven't heard of Oceanmist, that's an option. Do they have matte foundation? I DO NOT like to sparkle from head to toe...looks really silly.

I get really good coverage from my everyday minerals makeup, I absolutely love it!

But no I didn't sparkle with ocean mist, although they only offer one formula, not different choices for different skin types like everyday minerals does.

i havent tried EDM, but i got samples from OM... and I LOVE THEM! IMO, it covers and stays better on me than BE.

In bare minerals I wear the light foundation, summer bisque for my concealer, warmth as my blush, & the mineral veil.
From ocean mist I chose: golden fairest, golden fair, & golden light foundations, elegant nude blush, lightly tinted mineral veil, & light concealer.
From everyday minerals I chose: fairly light, light winged butter, & golden medium in matte formulas, natural blush, & multi=tasking concealer.
I can't wait for them to get here!!

If you like the finish of BE as I do, I think you might prefer the original glo formula in EDM better. It's a little closer to the finish of BE than the other formula...less dry/matte more dewy/glowy. Oceanmist is a really good foundation too in terms of coverage and staying power but for me it just wasn't the finish I was looking for...and I really wanted to love it...

Fishchick,

What color are you in BE. It look slike Im your sahde and I am in love with BE but cant find my shde. I tried medium and it was a bit dark adn looked muddy. It was not yellow enough for me- too neutral/cool!

Thanks!

I wore light in Be. When I went to Ulta they told me I was failry light, but when I came home & put it on I looked HORRIBLE, way too light & pink & shiney. Thank God the starter kit also had light in it--I put it on & loved it.

When I was at Ulta she tried fairly light & medium on me. She then told me I was definitely a fairly light. I asked about the light that comes in the starter kit also & she told me not to use it, that it's for yellow based complexions. So I was already suspicious cuz I usually do best with yellow based complexions.

I haven't tried EDM. I have tried OM and I like the coverage. It gives me a dewy glow.

I didn't get a glow from OM, but I definitely do from EDM.
