Mineral Make-up Question

[Elisabeth]

What are your thoughts on mineral make-up? For anyone familiar with it, I would greatly appreciate any advice you may have as to which colored mineral eye shadows and the like would best go with my features.

I have fair skin, medium brown hair with natural gold highlights, and blue eyes.

There is one By Physic ans Formula that suits everyone, its called Eye brightener and it just open your eyes and makes your eye pop with out all the color, they also have it in a pink, bronze color. I really like these less fuss, the added bonus you look very much alive and glowing.

i love everyday minerals, ive tried SEVERAL brands and this one seems to be the BEST hope you like them as well

I have tried several different brands but the one I always come back to is Bare Escentuals. I have a few of the BE e/s but don't reach for them much. As for colors I think shimmery golds/golden browns or silvery taupes would look great with your eye/skin/hair color. I would definitely steer away from blues and anything too dark. For lips I would try sheer pinks, golden pinks, light nudes etc.

Browns and natural pinks are a good start for eyeshadows. They are more natural colors and do not detract from your natural beauty but add to it. Mineral makeups are available in such variety of colors and textures that you are sure to find something that suits your skintone and features. If you need some help finding the right colors....

HI! I'm new to this forum;but not to bare escentuals! LOVE! I really like the shadows,they blend great&last&do not "crease". The rules for color(shadow) was never match your eye color.C'mon! I have brown eyes,and guess what I wear BROWN SHADOW!!! I think makup shoud be fun! If you are really attracted to a certain color,go for it. There are ways to make any work,like a blue-green on the lid & a neutral in the crease.peacock,celery are both good.If you wand to try something more tame 1st time,try one of the "Meet The" collections.Either M.T.browns or great 4 blue eyes M.T plums.I like "true gold" to punch up my browns. Well rested is great as a base&up bythe brow.IF you want more advice(specific single colors)just ask! One more the "wine country glimpses" blendable coll.(qvc&sephora) Have fun!!!!

I tried it, and didn't like it. It is like a loose powder w/ no foundation before it.
