the only MMU i have tried is JIs and i was sold the pressed powder.
i love the way it looks on my face. i have never worn foundation, never could get used to the mask feeling and hated the false look. i have just ordered some samples of loose powder from Lumiere. JI was $49 and although it will last a while, thats so much money!!! also the problem is, if you want to blend the colour with another, you cant, thats why i want to try the loose powders, at least if i make a bad choice i havent totally wasted my money. my makeup lasts all day, so dont see why you need to take it around anyway??? are you going day to night out?
