With age, my sebum production has decreased, so I've graduated from the bumpy 'sea squirt skin' phase. However, I'm currently in a natural phase with some small blemishes on my chin and faint acne scars on my cheeks. I'm currently mixing Golden Fair 0W (personally equivalent to shade 20) and Golden Ivory 1W (personally equivalent to shade 24) to create a radiant warm tone 22 shade. (I'll post about blush, corrector, and concealer in their respective categories) Seven years ago, at 24, I first tried Everyday Minerals' matte base and used it well, but due to various drawbacks, I compromised with mainstream products. However, even with gentle bases, I still experienced blemishes. My skin was seriously problematic. While I'm prone to skin issues (due to poor sleep, hydration, diet, lack of exercise, etc.), makeup-induced blemishes were on another level. When I applied base makeup, my skin would itch, and I'd press it with the back of my hand, only to look in the mirror and see blemishes appearing. I'd go to work bare-faced for my skin's sake, but you know those moments when you catch your reflection and feel unattractive? Anyone else? I'm sure there are. This is the best color cosmetic for people like us! (Sorry for the long intro, let's get to the main point) The biggest advantage is how comfortable it feels on the skin. No itching! It's the gentlest foundation I've used (the ingredients speak for themselves). The foundation tone matches my warm skin perfectly. (I actually bought Golden Ivory first, but it was too dark, so I added Golden Fair) It doesn't feel sticky on the skin, doesn't cling to nose pores (because it's a powder), and creates a natural skin-like finish. It's perfect! Well, maybe not 100% perfect, but it's the best for me right now.
ConsHowever, due to a critical drawback, I keep looking at other options. The reason is... + It's winter, so it's too dry and emphasizes dead skin cells. I've finally found the right cushion and am graduating from Everyday Minerals. I'll post that review next. (I'm that bad person who always praises something but then criticizes it when I find something better) It disappears when I blow my nose. There's no darkening, but the makeup fades away. Due to its weak coverage... I totally agree with that best review that said you keep applying it dubiously, ending up with cakey makeup without achieving coverage! Actually, it evens out skin tone but has almost no coverage. It's better than just sunscreen, but... (It looks like I'm wearing makeup, but after 6 hours, I'm not so sure) The makeup fades, so touch-ups after lunch are essential, but it's impossible to touch up with this. If you try to touch up over it, it gets messy, like cakey powder (Am I applying too much?) You have to remove everything except around the eyes and reapply, but it's too bothersome, so I don't touch up. It might look underwhelming compared to those with full makeup, but what can I do with sensitive skin? I'll just adapt and live with it. (I want to use cushion foundations... I envy their convenient portability)
TipI apply it by tapping and rolling with a Real Techniques buffing brush. For dark circles and around the mouth, I use a regular concealer (Wake Make).

It's incredibly lightweight, which is perfect for those hot days when you can't be bothered with a full face of makeup but still need to go out. I just apply a thin layer evenly with a brush and I'm good to go. It's not about coverage, but rather about naturally evening out your skin tone. It's also my go-to for those surprise date nights when my boyfriend calls me out suddenly - I can be ready in 3 minutes flat. Of course, he thinks I'm bare-faced. Even if the change isn't dramatic, just having that radiant complexion makes a woman look beautiful.
ConsThe staying power leaves a lot to be desired. After a long day out, you'll come home to find it's pretty much all worn off. I don't usually touch up my makeup, so that's a bit of a downside. However, I still love this product because it fades naturally without breaking down, and doesn't cause any darkening of the skin.
TipHere's a little trick I use: I tap some of the powder into a small bowl, then use a soft brush to pick up the product evenly. I start applying from the center of my face, using circular motions with the brush, and gradually work my way outwards. It's a technique that works wonders for me.
