I have tried about 15 or so mineral makeup samples.  I couldn't find the right match, my skin would break out, my skin would itch, it was too hard to apply, too cakey, etc.

 

I finally found a great MMU for me.  Lauress is fabulous!  It doesn't break my skin out like some minerals did.  In fact, my skin looks so much better since using this.  It doesn't make my skin itchy or red.  It doesn't look cakey or too made up.  I use so little and it covers everything (acne in chin area).  It is so light and makes me feel like I'm not wearing a thing.  There is not a great "learning curve" in applying this product.  I sweep it on with a flat top brush (sometimes I use a kabuki but prefer the flat top) and brush it around on my face.  I start with the outer parts of my face and do the pore area last.

 

I use the radiant gold in minimalist.  For reference, I am a NC20 in MAC, Y/O Cream in Px.  If you are still searching for a MMU and are getting frustrated, try this.  Lauren is so helpful and emails responses quickly.  My order was processed very fast and my samples came in jars (I hate the baggies, they are too messy).
