I'm going to try this once I get my finishing powder, etc. Thanks for the tip.

I've looked them up on ebay, but I'm always wary of buying anything off of there. Don't ask me why, because if I think about it too much, the reason becomes unreasonable...

The layering, buffing and swirling techniques really come into play here because your skin will soak in the minerals. This is the one makeup that you really want a light hand with application I don't personally use the spritz because after an hour of application your natural oils meld into the makeup and it actually looks better an hour after application. The finishing powder just cuts down on shine and minimizes pores, I can live with it or without it. If you need a heavier application try using a damp flocked sponge to pat the powder on, then buff with a kabuki. Ok, so moisturize well and buff in light layers - I'll remember that. Another thing I'm liking about mmu, that it does look better after it's sat on your skin awhile. Good stuff, good stuff.
