So one of the books I bought was "Making Faces" by Kevin Aucoin. He has a website and on the website are some makeup application tips along with a lot of other stuff (he doesn't use just minerals though):

That's a great website, Donna.

So I have a great tip for everyone:

Apply your foundation wet!

Put your foundation brush under the faucet, then dab it into a tissue. Continue as you normally would. Oh wow! It goes on so smoothly and hides pores this way! I love it! :D

Hey ladies - did you realize this thread is up over 1000 posts now? Who knew there was so much to say about makeup?

I sent EM an email yesterday while their website was down, and I also asked if they could give out any information about the new special. They replied back that the website was back up, but convenielntly neglected to answer my question about the new special. <_< I think I am going to give it until next payday, and if there is no special I am going to order anyway.

We are totally broke right now (just spent $800 for my husband's brakes, and $150 for tires for my car :( ), but I do have the $25 my Grandmother gave me for Christmas. I was going to try to buy some kind of organizer with it, but I really think I need to use it to buy more Everyday Minerals.

Also, I was walking around in Walmart yesterday while my tires were being fixed. Somehow I ended up in the sporting goods section. They had some really inexpensive tackle boxes that I think would work great for organizing makeup. Since I had time to burn, I compared them side by side with some of the organizers in the cosmetics section. The tackle boxes were half the price and had just as many compartments and shelves. And they come with a very informative little booklet on how to bait a hook and catch a big fish. Who knows when that's going to come in handy. :) OK - they arent purple and sparkly, but I think I am going to invest in one next payday. I am driving myself crazy trying to find the color I want in the plastic shoebox I have everything in now.

Today:

Multitasking foundation - Intensive (I really think I prefer original glo, though)

Jump Rope blush

Good China Base

Cool Breeze lid

Net Surfing crease

WW340 Rookie

I am getting so frustrated with this waiting. I emptied my cart on Saturday and was just going to get a new sample kit, then I convinced myself they would have a new special on Monday. So I redid my order, plus some. Now I am back to thinking I should just go ahead and order the sample kit.

What to do, what to do. I had hoped to have a good special and get the faster shipping on the whole thing.

I am going to try the wet brush. That sounds promising to me. My makeup always looks better a few hours later than it does when I first put it on. The longer it is on, the better it looks.

Purple sparkly glue pens are pretty cheap ;)

I agree - it's the same for me. It seems like I put on my makeup and it looks a little rough at first. But then 30 or so minutes later it settles in or something and looks really great. I've certainly never had anything that stays looking good all day before. EM really holds up.

Mango, great avatar. You're beautiful! :)

I about spewed my drink over the 80's hair picture! OMG! :lol:

Hi to all the newbies (and lurkers)! LOL!

I have another sample kit in my cart and the eye shadow kit. My friend and I decided to split the kit. I ordered a lot of what I saw others liked. The last thing in my kit is the Cherry Fizz lipgloss.

Today I'm wearing:

Foundation - medium (original glo)

Concealer - mint

Blush - jump rope

Eye Shadow - Clinique (please don't shoot me)

I really can't believe Carina didn't come back from New York with some exciting news and a new special. I'm a little bummed but am determined to wait it out...or find another mineral makeup compnay to try.

Your site is interesting Donna. That's the first time I've seen Kevyn spelled with a 'y'.

So one of the books I bought was "Making Faces" by Kevin Aucoin.

I have always wanted this book since it came out, which has been a few years now. I remember him promoting the book on some tv news show and I thought it would be a good book to have for basic make-up tips.

So I have a great tip for everyone:

Apply your foundation wet!

A most excellent tip of the day!

And they come with a very informative little booklet on how to bait a hook and catch a big fish. Who knows when that's going to come in handy. :)

Ah me too! I can't believe there isn't a new special. I've had a cart full since the 22nd just waiting! I went and looked at a bunch of other mineral makeup companies....but.....they're just not the same. The sites aren't as easy to navigate, and the color descriptions for the foundation just aren't as good. A few of them have only 3 or 4 foundation colors! (light, medium, tan, dark) I've started considering placing my EM order even without a new special <_<

Today I'm wearing:

Sandy Fair original glo

Cherry fizz as blush (love this! more subtle than apple, which was too bright for me)

Countryside eyeshadow (just one color today, I was tired)

Girl's day lipstick

What does putting on the foundation wet do differently than putting it on dry? I'm curious now...I might have to try it tonight after my shower. And then wash my face again.

That's what I think about other websites too. None of them are quite as great as EM's.

Putting on the foundation wet makes it really smooth, and the coverage is a bit heavier I think (but in a good way). It's also less messy that way, and it hides pores really nicely.

Hi, I've missed quite a few pages here as I have been in transition.

But I think I have finally figured out the answer to the make-up accentuating fine lines.

First, I went to Clinique and took back the things I couldn't use and got $120 back. Now I wish I had brought back more with me from overseas! I talked with them about the skin care issues, and they have some new products that are gluten free--with rice bran, etc. Anyway, I stepped up the clarifying lotion to a stronger one, and added an extra moisturizer. I think this is helping. My skin has become more dry this year--perhaps age, perhaps going gluten-free.

Second, I rechecked my EM foundations when I got back to the USA, and my bathroom here has natural lighting. I put on a lighter foundation that I had "eliminated" and was just using on my eyes. Wow!! No fine lines!!

So, what I was using and was convinced was a good match was too dark! The day I switched, I had a haircut and asked my beautician about my foundation and she said it was a great match.

Now, I need to figure out which formula is the best. I may call and talk to them. I am using semi-matte. Do you all think I should switch to original glow? I hope they have a special soon because I have only a little of the foundation I now prefer.

One other thing I tried was mixing my EM foundation into moisturizer. I did this with the other color I was using and thought it helped a bit with the lines, but changing color helped more. I don't like the messiness of this though.

Hey Em, I can't either! I feel the same way about the other sites. When I can't find the important stuff like ingredients and freebies, I move on. Oh check this one out it's called............................of all things........................BM..........................LOL! But don't you think this is what we look like perusing over our EM stuff. lol!

They do have some great tips, though!

Yes Paula, I was trying to keep you on the straight and narrow, but now I'm caving!

That's what I think about other websites too. None of them are quite as great as EM's.

Putting on the foundation wet makes it really smooth, and the coverage is a bit heavier I think (but in a good way). It's also less messy that way, and it hides pores really nicely.

I agree! Some great makeup tips on them though!

I'm trying the wet brush foundation technique tomorrow. I've got a few pores that need hiding.

But I think I have finally figured out the answer to the make-up accentuating fine lines.

One other thing I tried was mixing my EM foundation into moisturizer. I did this with the other color I was using and thought it helped a bit with the lines, but changing color helped more. I don't like the messiness of this though.

So glad you figured out your makeup! I have normal to dry skin and like the 'origanal glo' the best. The semi-matte is ok, too. I also don't want to really have to mix the moisturizer in with the foundation, but I liked Mangos tip about wetting the brush and using it with water.

I also found this technique interesting. I'm trying the 'butterfly' technique on the eyes tomorrow!

Hello all, just waiting for my wondreful package to come!!! Anyhow, hopefully by the end of the week i will have it!! ohh and this is off subject, but my aunt out in oregon is going gluten free, she says in the past when she did it she felt better, so i convinced her to do it..lol its so exciting for me, cuz someone else that i am close with, even though we live so far away, that is willing to take the leap. she saw me when i was a kid and knows how messed up i was, but i think in all of this it will bring us even closer than we already are...she said she might send me a package with some gluten free stuff!! she is going to get up on this site too! YAY!!!

Here are some interesting foundation techniques I found on the BM website: (hope I'm not boring you all with this information) :P

To create a medium-to-heavy coverage, you can try the any (or a combination) of the following methods:

1) Apply the foundation powder by using a foundation brush (flat brush head with nylon bristles) or makeup sponge. Press, instead of brush, the powder on and blend.

2) Use a powder brush with shorter and thicker (denser) brush head. The mineral powder will adhere to your skin better when applied with slight pressure, and a shorter and thicker brush head allows you to control the pressure better. Our <b>Everyday Kabuki Brush</b>, <b>Luscious Kabuki Brush</b> and <b>Flat-Top Buffer</b> are all designed to give you excellent control for mineral foundation application.

3) "Foiling". This refers to an application method of using a slightly damp brush. Our favorite method: Using a kabuki or buffer brush, pick up some foundation powder, tap the brush handle to slightly set powder into the brush hair, then spray the brush with one or two spritz of mineral toner. Then apply the powder in a circular/buffing motion.

4) Apply several layers of the foundation powder. Since Beaut

All this talk of ordering...I must confess I considered ordering today anyway, even without a special, but I KNOW I'd kick myself it they put up another one anytime this week, lol.

Colleen,

Yep! I love my craft tote. I was also looking at plastic tool boxes. I got a couple at Orchard Supply when I was painting regularly...they were much cheaper than the paint boxes in art stores, and held just as much if not more.

I like the way my makeup up looks right from the beginning, and it really lasts all day...I can hardly believe that. I still need to experiment with the eye area though. I'm going to try the finishing powder as a primer...my eyelids sweat so much and I tend to get crease lines.

Eye Shadow - Clinique (please don't shoot me)

NO problemo, lol. I'm still considering ordering the stuff I STILL have in my cart over at that luxe place Susie posted about, lol.

Julie,

The pictures of the makeovers are just fabulous! I haven't started reading it yet...I'm reading the other one first, lol.

Mango,

I'm still using my old drugstore lip glosses...in fact I've gone lip gloss crazy since using EM, lol. And, I just bought some cover girl lash blast, so I guess we are all in the same boat. :P

Paula,

See what you started! :lol:

I really can't believe Carina didn't come back from New York with some exciting news and a new special. I'm a little bummed but am determined to wait it out...or find another mineral makeup compnay to try.

Me too...maybe she's just overwhelmed with the new site launch, etc.

The sites aren't as easy to navigate, and the color descriptions for the foundation just aren't as good. A few of them have only 3 or 4 foundation colors! (light, medium, tan, dark) I've started considering placing my EM order even without a new special <_<

I agree. I love the way the EM website is set up, adn I love the choices in foundations...I've NEVER seen so many choices.

Second, I rechecked my EM foundations when I got back to the USA, and my bathroom here has natural lighting. I put on a lighter foundation that I had "eliminated" and was just using on my eyes. Wow!! No fine lines!!

So, what I was using and was convinced was a good match was too dark! The day I switched, I had a haircut and asked my beautician about my foundation and she said it was a great match.

Yeah...just what the EM website said! Glad you found one that worked.

I also found this technique interesting. I'm trying the 'butterfly' technique on the eyes tomorrow!

I'll have to look at all the links posted tomorrow. I've been so flippin busy at work I may not have time there, but I'll have more time at home tomorrow.

Hey Jodi, that is good news about your Aunt. It's so worth going gluten-free if it makes her feel better. Nice of her to be sending you a package. Maybe you can tell her about EM when you get your package and she can join us here too.

OK so I finally got all of my makeup then had to have surgery....they are all sitting in their cute little containers unused.

Joni, GREAT links and info, LOVE it!! I am going to look everything over.

Oh - and I went to get some Ecco Bella from the health food store last night. They were all sold out! Everyone must have read my Maybelline posts! LOL j/k

Well you know Ecco Bella mascara is all the rage :D

I confess I use non-EM products as well, my Ecco Bella mascara and Cowgirl lip balm...... BUT THAT'S IT!!

I am loyal to my EM :lol:

Hi Sherry!

I'm glad that tip worked for you with the fine lines, using a lighter foundation :D

You might want to try the original glo if you are looking for more moisture, I also read on the EM community boards some people like to mix intensive with original glo, or a matte and a original glo, to customize the amount of moisture.

my aunt out in oregon is going gluten free,

Hope your makeup gets there really soon! And good news on your aunt :)

So do I :lol: Everytime I want to make a reference to Bare Minerals and I start to type it out I think, hmmm, better go with "BE"

Ah yes, that's what happens to threads up here in the serious straight forward northern regions if they get off topic, gabby and out of control

      Many of the symptoms, there are over 200, associated with celiac disease and NCGS are vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by small intestine damage in the case of celiac disease and food avoidance and the poor nutrittion of the Modern American Diet (MAD) I used to turn the heat on even at 78 degrees.  The 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine helped.  Also good for hair, nails, skin and brain fog.  Another good thing for brain fog is phosphatyl choline.  It is essentil for acetylcholine- a brain chemical. I have familial hyperlipdemia and instead of a statin I got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid, 2000 mg a day.  I was already taking 500 mg a day and was really surprised when my HDL when up to  44 and I began sleeping better and my legs and back are getting more flexible.  In addition after the first few doses of itchiness I get a warm fuzzy feeling Raising your vitamin D is crucial.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe).  Look at Thiamin deficiency. consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest.  Any combination of deficiencies in B1, B2, B3, B5, choline and Iodine can cause this.  Likely all of them. After a lifetime of mouthbreathing GFD cleared my sinuses.  Post nasal drip is my first symptom of cross contamination nowaday.

      If you mean continueing on Gluten Free my answer is yes.  She showed significant improvement in her behavior and that translates to a happy family.  Do get her tested as sooon as you can.  You might want to investigate genetic testing for Celiac Disease.  Children recover more quickly than adults.  It took my son about 6 months on Nutramigen before going to regular food, gluten free.  Blood tests are not always accurate in very young children. You may be advised to see a gastroenterologist instead of relying on blood tests results. Logic: She is better off gluten than before.  Wheat flour has no nutritional value and has an omega 6: omega 3 ratio of 22:1.  Our bodies do better at 3:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation. When my son was diagnosed, back in 1976, his doctor recommended my wife and I also go gluten free.  We declined and lived to regret it.  I started GFD at 63 and have spent the last 10 years undoing the damage, some of my symptons went all the way back to my childhood and things I lived with all my life got better.
    • Wheatwacked
      Hi @Nicbent35,             When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease when he was weaned, so I understand your frustration.       With improvement so dramatic, it cannot be a coincedence. Get her to the doctor and tell the story and insist on testing.  In the meantime, though, continue on GFD.  Her health is more important than convincing a doctor.  Bring videos of her behaviors if you can.  Even if the blood tests and biopsy prove negative, that is part of the diagnosis process for NCGS and later when she is recovered you can always do a Gluten Challenge.      This is an important time in her developement.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption syndrome, leading to malnutrition, regardles of what she eats.  Though NCGS may not cause malabsorption, it will affect food choices which can lead to malnutrition.  There may be benifits that an official diagnosis may have, but they don't trump a healthy child.      Get her healthy, then worry about validation later.  Celiac Disease is difficult to diagnosed, especially in children, because doctors look for antibodies in the blood and young children have immature immune systems.  Also you don't mention any gastrologic symtoms and celiac disease is traditionally considered gastrolic only.  Not true.  There are over 200 symptom that celiac disease and the accompaning malnutrion mimics or causes that often causes misdiagnosis and delay in recovery. While at the doctors, ask them about vitamin D deficiency and Iodine deficiency in particular. Milk being the primary source of iodine in the diet, but concerns exist regarding the lower iodine content in organic milk and reduced milk consumption in certain demographics.  Vitamin D deficiency is 40% of the industrialized population and a recent study in the Great Britain showed a wopping 60%, beaten only by some areas of Canada at 70%. And B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6.  Deficiencies in these are common in untreated Celiac Disease and they affect energy production. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?

      @plumbago, Are you taking any folate with your B12?   Folate helps regulate HDL levels.  You may try taking a methylfolate supplement with your B12.   If there's a folate deficiency because you aren't absorbing sufficient folate, or have the MThF mutation causing a functional folate deficiency (methylfolate trap), you can have a functional B12 deficiency despite supplementing, resulting in HDL levels not getting regulated, but running high or low.   Pushing the envelope in explanations, too. P. S. Are you taking a B Complex?  Folate and B12 Cobalamine need enzymes made from B6 Pyridoxine's interaction with Thiamine, and B2 Riboflavin's interaction with Thiamine.  Is your Vitamin D low?

      Thank you for all that helpful info, does that mean it’s not a good idea to do what I’m doing? Or since it’s only been a week should I see if I could get her tested now? Would it show up still since it hasn’t been long if they tested her?
