Applegreen: Thanks for your reply! Hope one of the shades will fit me then

Has anybody tried the new shades yet? The descriptions aren't properly up yet and I want to try some of the new olive shades. Are there any good sites with swatches.

Could someone help me find some shades? I used everyday minerals about a year ago and the shade that I used, prob. won't fit me anymore. I used golden fair.
I use Mac's face and body foundation in N1, which matches perfectly with my skin. I also use Mac nw15 studio fix fluid.

i think if they made the bristles half as long, it would make it 'spread' less

all in all very excellent value for $7...
i didnt feel i sacrificed anything for the price
totally HG!

Also 10 business days shipping to Canada so that is pretty awesome

The Flat Top brush is excellent! I use it for my foundation and find that it actually gives a more even coverage as compared to other round headed brushes!

I dont particularly like the baby kabuki cause it's a little too small for me (it IS baby afterall) so I use it for concealer under the eyes.

Anyone knows what happened to their Peach concealer?

I had one previously and was about to get another one but the colour swatch on the website looks so dark!

Just in case this helps someone:

I'm NC20 in all MAC foundations. I have a normal skin on cheeks and oily T zone, that's why I use intensive formula. I find it easy to blend, but I still need to use blot paper/powder in a few hours on my forehead and nose. Sometimes I mix different foundation colours together, depends on the time of the year.

Shades in EDM that I swear by:

Multitasking concealer
Golden Fair (Golden range) foundation
Light (Golden range) foundation
Sunkissed Fair (Beige range) foundation
Back to school blush is a great contour or just a neutral blush (it looks dark brown, but dont get scared, when you buff it on with the kabuki it blends lovely. Plus you can see some tiny shimmer in the pot, but no shimmer once it's on the cheeks)

Another thing that you gotta try is their face brushes - baby kabuki, long handled kabuki, the flat top kabuki...so unbelievably soft, very dense and they blend very well, they can easily compare to 182 by MAC. I have both and use EDM kabuki and MAC 182 equally. I have yet to try their eye brushes.

I'm lucky EDM doesn't break me out, I know this has been an issue for some girls

I haven't checked if anyone has posted swatches on EM's forum yet, but I ordered samples of Linen, Sweet Almond, Light Almond and Light Martian a while ago. Linen is a nice neutral, about as deep as the fairly lights but on me it was too pink. All the new olive shades are about as dark as Light Olive. Light Almond might be a little lighter though. Sweet Almond has a lot more yellow in it than the other two and in general I'd recommend the new olives to people who found Light Olive and Golden Medium too orange/peachy and are looking for more olive in the mix.

I finally found my own perfect mix. Last time I thought I already had it with Light Medium/Medium Beige Neutral with some Olive and Golden Fairs, but that turned out too pink/orange in the long run. Now it's mainly Olive and Golden Fairs that are both too pale for me on their own mixed somewhere around 50/50, a little Sunlight color corrector thrown in for a clean yellow undertone and a little Light Martian or Olive Medium to give depth. So now I finally have a light but not risen-from-the-grave-pale depth that's not too yellow, gray, orange, pink, green nor peachy, but a moderately neutral fairly light olive with a clean yellow undertone and the slightest tinge of peach to keep it soft and natural. Ooh how I love mineral foundations for the ease of customizing foundations... and curse them for feeding the manic perfectionist in me.

EVERYDAY MINERALS has exceeded my expectations. Their customer service and delivery is exceptional. My samples arrived in just a couple of days and I found a good color match for my dark skin (MAC NW43). Many powdered mineral foundations look "ashy" on dark skin. By using a light touch of the TAN, I get just enough coverage to even my skintone with no ashy look. THE EM B&B blush looks lovely on my dark skin. too. I love the EM brushes too. They are so soft.

BARE MINERALS has a new color that works fwell or me too. However, I really wanted to find a good match in mineral foundation that contains no bismuth oxichloride. I really disliked the BM brushes. They felt very rough on my skin.

I am continuing my search for liquid mineral foundation. So far the ones I've sampled look ashy on me. The search continues.

Have only tried the samples from the range but I'm really impressed with what I have tried so far... I also absolutely love the flat top kabuki brush they do, so so soft and lovely to use on the face, but applied the foundation with a really good level of coverage. I find the original glo and intensive formulations last the whole day on me too...

MAHALO · 01-27-2009, 07:25 PM #**234** (**permalink**)

I am loving the EDM B&B blush. I layer it over MAC MSF So Ceylon. Can anyone recommend other blushes that that will look good on brown skin (MW43). I have a sample of SUNDAY BRUNCH, I like that too.

I'm darker than you (a NW43/NC45 mix). The TAN original formula works for me so you should go lighter. Order samples in several shades so that you can test them.

I have been trying to get the right shade down for my skin and the sample kits are such a great way to figure it out. I'm lighter than NC15 and it's soooo hard to find the right shade. So after my 3 sample kit I am pretty sure I found the perfict shade. So I went with Olive Fair for my foundation and it looks perfict on me! I'm so happy!

Oh and I picked up one of their new eyeshadow colors in Dandelions and it is sooooooooooooo beautiful

!!!! For those that love vanilla pigment, white gold pigment, or and whiteish colors you gotta give this a try! https://www.everydayminerals.com/ind...d=29&Itemid=99

I just ordered some samples and if it works out for me I was going to use the foundation over my MAC concealer, but I was wondering if anyone else does this. I am moving away from all MAC foundations because I get such horrible breakouts.

susannef · 03-14-2009, 08:14 AM #**239** (**permalink**)

I recently ordered from everyday minerals again and they have made some changes to their packaging. The large jars now have closeable sifters which is really neat. They also have new white lids, they ones for foundation say "base" on them and the blush ones say "cheek". Really neat!

I also got their skunk brush and it is really weird.. It isnt anything like the 187 brush, it isnt even really duo fiber. The bristles are just dyed on two colors. I really dont know what to do with it. It isnt even all that soft to me. :/

I have been using EDM off an on for the past few years. I find them a bit hit and miss for shades. Each time I order the same shade when it arrives is slightly different from the last time. It doesn't bother me too much as I usually mix a couple of different shades together to get the right colour for my skin at the time.

tarnii · 07-19-2009, 10:17 PM #**241** (**permalink**)

But I should add that they are the best value for money that I have found.

yay1 · 07-20-2009, 02:26 AM #**242** (**permalink**)

i tried BM at sephora the other day, and the lady totally matched me with the wrong color! she was like you look a bit tanned, but it works! lol um wtf, i was like 5 shades darker, i didnt ask for a bronzer. but i LOVE how it looked, like the finish of it.

Has anyone tried the Eye Kabuki Junior yet? How is the size of it? I'm waiting for mine in the mail, but I'm curious if this one can be used on the eyes like the name implies. I know the big brother Eye Kabuki is used by most for completely different areas of the face - I use mine to buff in concealer.

delic1999 · 08-12-2009, 11:31 PM #**244** (**permalink**)

I got a kit a few weeks ago and got two of their brushes in it. I got the long handled kabuki and the eyeshadow brush and oh my gosh are they soooooooooo soft!!!! I'm in love with them!

InspiredBlue · 08-16-2009, 03:43 PM #**245** (**permalink**)

EM has now launched their new site. The layout is better but overall it's not a hit. Their user forum is practically in a riot state, because they've done some strange (and kinda stupid) things like stop taking paypal and stop shipping to certain countries (Ireland? What's that about?).

Also, there seem to be a lot of glitches, so I'm not sure if anyone has even managed to submit an order yet.

Personally I'm quite happy I ordered a bunch of eyeshadows and stuff I liked last week.

tarnii · 08-16-2009, 10:14 PM #**246** (**permalink**)

I unfortunately did not place an order last week and I logged on this morning to find a completly new site, it was so different I wondered if I had gone to the wrong site but no just a re-vamp.

They have made a lot of changes including getting rid of their custom kits which is what I had planned to order and no longer accepting Paypal- damn if only I had ordered yesterday.

Oh well I will just have to look elsewhere.

But yes, I checked into their forum while I was there to see when the changes came into effect and it is on fire, I wouldn't want to be dealing with customer complaints over there.

InspiredBlue · 08-22-2009, 06:38 PM #**247** (**permalink**)

I am sooo annoyed right now. I was browsing the EM site, since I remembered that I really should get a full sized Dandelions e/s because it's basically my go to highlight and I don't want to run out. So I start adding eye shadows I like to my cart and decide to get 12, since they are 45% off then.

Well, I choose my 12 eye shadows, proceed to checkout, and then I realize I had completely forgotten about the no PayPal thing. Before I could just pay with PayPal without leaving my computer. Now I would have had to go and get my credit card, at which point my boyfriend would have known I was shopping online and I'm supposed to try and cut down on my spending.

So, no eyeshadows for me and no business for EM.
