Everyday Minerals...does it dry your skin ?

I have been using a sample of Everday Minerals in matte finish and it seems like it dries out my skin and accentuates any tiny fine lines that I have. Also, it does look makeupy as opposed to some other minerals I have tried. Has anyone else experienced it ? Any thoughts ?Everyday Minerals...does it dry your skin ?
Hi! I agree with the other ladies who answered here. Try using the Original Glow formula, or the Semi-matte if your face is not that dry or you have some oilyness. Exfoliating and moisturizing are helpful too.





As far as fine lines go, you may want to try a slightly lighter shade. The EM website says that if you experience accentuated fine lines, it's most likely because your foundation is a little too dark.





To keep from getting too much coverage from your minerals (and getting that ';makeupey'; look) try using a little tiny bit of foundation and adding more if you need to. If you still get too much foundation on your face, try mixing the foundation with finishing powder to tone it down a little. Because of EM's amazing coverage, I find that my biggest problem is wanting to put on more makeup than I need to, and getting too much coverage!





Minerals are definitely something you'll have to play with until you get your perfect shade, formula, and technique. But once you get your routine figured out, trust me, it's worth it!





I hope this helps and you have lots of fun with your minerals!Everyday Minerals...does it dry your skin ?
Do you use moisturizer?
...i mist my face w/ paul mitchells -awapuhi moisture mist and then using a mineral pressed foundation (larenim) but apply using a brush(mary kay ) instead of the sponge....best to you
i think that u should switch to another type of makeup... why dont u use bare minerals instead.. the powder version... it leaves ur face with a natural look.... u should go to this website ...

maybe this will convince u to switch to bare minerals
Yup - here are the quick fixes for this problem. You can still use Everyday Minerals, my love.





Use an exfoliating face wash


Moisturize with Aloe Vera Gel only


Try another foundation formula, ie the Original Glo


Use a finishing powder that won't let the foundation budge - any shade of the BALANCING powder, depending on your skin color





This will help, I promise :) Good luck, dear!
Bare Minerals is much better, a little more pricey...but better in the long run.
Even though it says Matte is for ';Normal to Oily'; skin .. I would try out the Original Glo. Its for ';Dry to Normal'; skin. That should work better.





Make sure to Exfoliate to get rid of dead skin and Moisturize before putting your makeup on.





Hope that helps!
