I took the big step and purchased it today. I will post again everyone once I have had a chance to use and develop an educated opinion.

I've been using mine for a while now, and I love it. It give my face a much more natural look than I was able to get with the EDM I tried. It lasts all day as well.

yes plase keep us up to date!! I want to know how it works

[tyarishanese]

So far so good!!! I am dark skinned african-american woman and the color is a really good match for me. I get a really smooth application and a very natural look. If things drastically change and my face suddenly turns into a pizza, you'll hear about it I went to MAC again yesterday (they're everywhere in Vegas) and the sales rep told me that they are 100% natural.

Hmm, thanks Sim! I was about to ask the ingredients.

[magosienne]

thanks i was curious about the ingredients too !

I tried this out over the weekend, but did not buy it. The cost is too expensive for my wallet. Anyways, long story short, it was very light weight compared to MAC's foundations and did not break me out! I'm a NC35-40 and was matched with Medium in their mineralize foundation.

what brushes did you ladies use to apply this?

[vabookworm]

I bought Mac brush #187 to use with it. I love it. I think it was $42

[periwinkle_sky]

I keep saying I'm a MMU purist but I just tried it and it was surprisingly good. I used Medium Plus and I'm NC30. It looked very natural and lasted the whole day; and the best part was it didn't break me out, considering that ALL of MAC's foundations broke me out (of course except this).

i tried the mineral makeup at the store and the ma there frowned and said "maybe minerals aren't for you" it was just too orange for me! but i hope it works for you!!!

In MAC speak this is 100% natural, but in reality it is not. Methicone is a silicone, Yellow 5 Lake is a synthetic dye, Chlorphenesin is a synthetic preservative. Plus with oils added (wheat Germ Oil) you have to watch out for rancididty. The only antioxidant is Vitamin E Acetate, so this will have a shelf life, unlike other MMU that is inert. Also , based on the ingredients list it would appear this is mostly mica. The Titanim is listed as an active due to the SPF claims, so it is out of order. But Mica is first, then Barley extract which we don't know if it is a powder of oil, then the next 7 ingredients are liquid. Based on the FDA laws of listing by predominance, we can assume these are not in a large quantity since the product is still a loose powder not a cream or oil product. Now pigments are supposed to be listed last after all other ingredients, but since they went against tradition and listed the Mica first, we can assume they are actually using the descending order for all ingredients. Because these products are not all extremely dark, and Iron Oxides is near the front of the powder pigments line up, then we come to the conclusion that in essence this powder is mostly mica. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but there ya go. Pretty sure I will not be hitting the MAC store anytime soon. LOL.

the lady at the counter was nice enough to tell me that they weren't real mineral foundations and i was grateful she didn't try to pass it off as a true mineral foundation. i hope no one got told they were true mineral foundations.
