Review:

To be honest, I also mix some of my Coastal Scents Silk Cover foundation (see below) with my Everyday Minerals foundation to get a better match for my skin color – so I should probably do a review of it as well. I also bought Everyday Minerals in their sample form back when you could choose your own sample kit – I think they have pre-made “Try me Free” kits now, which I don’t really like that much. I have the samples in Sandy Medium, Winged Butter and Golden Medium. The Winged Butter is very, very yellow so I would beware of it unless you really have extremely prominent yellow undertones. My best shade is a mix of my Coastal Scents Tan Foundation, Sandy Medium and Golden Medium.

Ingredients: Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxide, Ultramarines.

I purchased all of mine in the intensive formula, which is meant to provide more coverage. It claims to give a silky near-matte finish and help control oil. In terms of oil control, I feel that it is pretty good because I don’t need to blot until the evening after I apply it in the morning. Don’t put too much on though, especially if you have uneven skin or active or healing/dried acne spots because you’ll end up looking cakey. I find that this doesn’t provide a dewy finish and is quite matte too.

I haven’t broken out since using this foundation, so I do have a pretty good impression of Everyday Minerals. In terms of coverage however, I find that it is medium at most. Its staying power lasts longer than that of Coastal Scents though so both has their pros and cons. That’s why I like mixing the two foundations together; I find that I get the perfect coverage and oil control that way.

Rating: 4/5
