Everyday Minerals formula question

[Calista]

I tested a bunch of foundation samples, and I think I found the right colour for my skin. Now I want to order a full size from Everyday Minerals. Oh, their website is horrible! http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/images/smilies/justy.gif But I found my product eventually. Before I can select a size I need to select a formula. :purplex: Semi-Matte, Matte, Intensive, Original Glo. What does it mean? I donīt think the label on my sample jar says anything about it.

From the site "4 unique finishes for all skin types: Original Glo, healthy dewy glow | Semi-Matte, a soft luminous touch | Matte, radiant without shine | Intensive, extra coverage"

I find that original is very sheer and lighter, semi-matte has had heaps of comments about being itchy for some reason, I don't know why and I love matte and intensive, I find that with intensive I don't need concealer as much but it's quite heavy. Matte is just right for me. :) HTH

I was anal enough, and the samples were cheap enough, that when I ordered, I ordered some of each, and found that the Original Glo gave enough coverage, yet still gave the natural look I was striving for. I just wanted people to say, "Your skin looks good," if anything, not, "Gee I love how you do your makeup."

I think that the real difference in the formulas is probably the amount of mica -- the less mica, the more matte. Part of the charm of MMU, to me anyway, is the kind of soft glowy look you can get. The matte finish resembled regular makeup for me, on my skin. Of course, YMMV.

Wow, where on earth did you find that? Itīs a nightmare for me to try and navigate their website.

Go to their site and, hover on makeup, go to their base page and it's on the top of the page. :)

Jesus, I never thought of just clicking on "base". http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/g062.gif If you hover on "base" thereīs another drop-down menu with the different colours/shades (warm, golden, beige etc.). It never occurred to me that "base" itself might be clickable.


Thanks a bunch!

Don't feel bad Calista, I totally agree that the EDM page is horrid, I much preferred the way it was and actually shop elsewhere now because of it.
