What is it?

My thoughts and experience:
I was so pleased with some of the things that was sent to me from Everyday Minerals that I just had to buy this foundation. You may be wondering how I found my color with an online website... well, they have a special offer online for free small sizes of mineral foundations in certain color ranges. I would definitely encourage you to get free sample to help you choose the right color for your skin.

Anyway, onto the product. I love the way this product is packaged. It's in a round, shallow container with a lid and a rotating sifter. The sifter can be swiveled to open or close to help keep the product fresh and avoid any spillage. This is a great plus for me because I've spilled and wasted alot of mineral makeup before.

The color is a medium olive color with a yellow base undertone (perfect for my Asian skin). It's always hard for me to find foundations with a yellow undertone - it's always a pink or golden undertone. It glides on smoothly on my face without any caking at all. The minerals in the foundation give off a little shimmer, but not too much to make my face look oily or anything. It looks dewy throughout the day. I would say that it offers medium to full coverage with this product. I brush on one or two layers to help even my skin tone and cover red spots around my cheeks. There are actually four types of formulas on their foundation bases. I chose the semi-matte base because It works well with my dry skin, I just need to make sure I moisturize well before using this product.

I am very pleased with this foundation, and will purchase it again.
