MMU geared towards fair skin?

[Solimar]

I have tried EDM, Meow and Lumiere which match my skin perfectly, but I am looking for others. I have tried Monave, GREAT coverage, but a hair too dark. I am looking for a MMU that has good coverage (medium-heavy) and geared towards fair women. Any ideas?

Honestly speaking here, if that is you in the avatar, then you are probably not "fair". If we are talking about Fair/Light/Medium/Dark/Deep, I would say you are in the Medium range. What could be happening when you put on your MMU is that it is coming to contact with oil, and that can significantly darken MMU so that it no longer matches.

If anything, it could be that the tone/tint you have been using is pulling a little bit strong for you (like too warm or too brown, etc) and it is a stark contrast on your skin. The brand I like to use is Milan Minerals. That brand is particularly known for having a wide selection of tints that are matched for Light - Deep skin without being too ashy -OR- too strong on the face.

That is me after going tanning...it is still pretty light though. I am very fair in the winter, but tend to be darker in the summer, but yeah, now I'm starting to look like a ghost.

I have fairly light skin, (much ligher than your avatar) with and I had very good much with Everyday minerals(EDM) and Ocenmist.

EDM has 4 different coverage formula , the intensive have the fullest coverage it is my HG.

Signature minerals also have a lighter share , but I am bettwen the 1. and 2 . lightest shade, so I skip on them.

By the way all the above 3 brand is $12/full size jar

I think that the oil has darkened the mu...it may be my primer, too -- it's a bit too oily for me now. My mu looks brown lately...ugh.

You should try the Oceanmist as suggested above. The coverage is great and the color range starts at very fair on up. True about the oil as well. Why not try your mmu without any primer so you at least know how light you should go. Plus, give your brushes a good cleaning. Nothing like the primer sticking to the brush causing an oily residue to change how the mmu looks on the skin. That would happen to me all summer - I'd start out one color, but if my skin became super oily, it would deepen. One of the reasons why I like the cooler months better. My hair is the other. During summer, it's amazing that I haven't shaved my head yet because summer is a bad hair season for me! In the Fall and Winter months - I can't do anything to make my hair look bad - the opposite is true for summer. My skin reacts much better in the cooler months as well.

BTW Solimar - you look (to me) very much like Sandra Bullock - anyone ever tell you that? I think that she's so beautiful and love her movies. She seems to have a fun personality too!

Try madminerals.

Have you tried J. Lynne? I use Bare Minerals but when I was branching out into other brands I liked their stuff and they have a good range of fair colors.
