Review on Everyday Minerals - Foundation (Matte, Semi-matte, Original Glo), Concealer, Blush and Brush

1. Matte Foundation


Golden - Fawn is a little bit too fair for my skin, maybe it is because of its yellowish.
Beige - Sunkissed Fair is a little bit too dark for my skin. Haha!
Overall, the coverage of these matte foundation is good. But it is too thick to my liking. I always skip concealer when applying this matte foundation. I am not sure whether it is the skill of applying or what, but it looks thick. I need only very little amount of the foundation for my whole face.


2. Semi-matte Foundation

Golden - Fawn is a little bit too fair for my skin.
Buff - Light neutral is close to pale.
The powder is fine. It looks light and natural. Small amount is needed as well. It is suitable for daily use. It is compatible with the Lancome Poudre Majeur Compact that I am using. But one thing, Lancome Poudre Majeur Compact is easier to use. It tooks longer for me to pour out the powder and apply evenly on my face when using mineral makeup.


3. Original Glo Foundation: Light Olive, Fairly Light


Olive - Light Olive is slightly darker.
Beige - Fairly Light suits my skin tone perfectly.
It is perfect for dinner wear. It glows, remember? It is nice to have some shine on face at night, that is my personal opinion. I must say it has very good coverage, my face is smooth after applying it.


4. Concealer: Abbott's Perk Me Up, Intensive Light


Abbott's Perk Me Up is a bit dark.
Intensive Concealer Light is just too light for me but I found that it is good to conceal my dark circles.
The concealer can hardly cover up my pimple scars. :(


5. Blush


Lucent - Natural is just so natural on my cheeks! It is like I did not put on any make up but it make my complexion looks radiant. I use it as my eye shadow base too!
Shimmer - Peach Tree is orangish and giving me a new look :) But since it is shimmer series, I find it a bit difficult to apply evenly.


6. Brush
Baby Kabuki - I love this brush. It is so soft and I know exactly that it wont hurt my skin. I use it to apply foundation and also blush.
Eye Shadow Kabuki - I found this brush is slightly too big for applying eye shadow. So far, I only use it to apply the base only. I choose to use my middle fingertips to apply my eye shadow. One of the reasons also because I have no minerals eye shadow yet.

So far, there is no skin problem after using it for about a month.
