I got my samples in the mail today and I like them so far... I got 2 sets of samples in Semi Matte and Original Glow formulas, Spring Concealer, Finishing Dust, and 2 blushes...

I think Medium Beige is a good match for my skin's shade, and that is what I put on in my FOTD for today, so check it out and see what you guys think.

Also if you all have ANY tips I would be very welcome! I have a kabuki and I tapped a little foundation at a time into a glass petri dish and swirled the brush in it, and tried to tap off a little and buffed it on my face.

I THINK I am doing it ok, but I am not 100% sure. Also, I am not sure about the Spring concealer, just bc it seems a little light. I put it under my eyes. How do you guys cover blemishes if you get them?

 
hey leila! how was your birthday?

anyway, welcome to the edm club! i got the multi-tasking concealer and it seems ok. as for the application, i think you are doing it right. it sounds like the tip they have on the edm site.

 
I used mineral foundation this week also for the first time

I love it, it stays much longer (also in this heat and humidity), and doesn't make my skin get so oily!

I don't have access to EDM, I use a german brand!

 
I tried my EDM today too, but I have to say I wasn't that impressed. I got the matte but the coverage wasn't so great. I don't think I'm even going to bother with the "intensive" version.

Leila, it looks like you are doing all the right things. I will work on doing a mineral make up video tutorial soon as well.With regards to covering blemishes, I just use the foundation with a concelar brush after applying the foundation to my face. So I just put a bit more foundation with the concealer brush on top of the blemish and it disappears.

Question: Are you able to go to work using non-MAC foundations or are yuo bound to always have to use MAC products for work? Just curious.

There's a live journal MMU link that I found on here that really helped me get the knack of using my Bare Minerals. I have yet to try EDM and I'm torn between trying it or trying a drug store MMU. Let me know if you want me to find the live journal tutorial.

I went to a Bare Escentuals boutique last weekend and guess who was one of the MAs in the store?? That girl from the LiveJournal!!! LOL. I wanted to talk to her about that but I was too shy. LOL

Hey eva121, i have used a kabuki brush and when it was time for a new one i went to target and picked up a cheap brush for $3. it is a bronzer brush by studiotools. works just as good if not better than the more pricey brushes. i get better coverage with this one.
