Apparently liquid or cream foundations are no longer ones that I can use, as I recently had allergic flares that took about four months to figure out and ultimately clear. Not sure if the culprit is mica, TD, or any type of preservative. I have dry skin so I wasn’t too keen on trying mineral powder, but my options were down to nothing else, and I can say that I am very happy with this product! It definitely feels cleaner, there is no rub off, I feel like my skin can breathe and it looks amazingly natural. I switched to the loose powder mineral eyeshadows and blush, and so happy that I did and that I can finally wear makeup again! Definitely a different application technique, and I’d suggest watching a tutorial. Key is tapping, multiple light applications, and a lot of buffing to avoid a cakey look. Added a few extra minutes to my morning routine but I’ll take it!! Still can’t wear concealer but going to try getting the lightest mineral shade and see if I can use that to make things work under the eye. Thanks Omiana!
