Sorry Fruit Salad..

I would just like to know what the ingredients are. I have very very sensitive skin and so far, have found only EB suits me, but I am open minded. I do not want to even try a product unless I know it is pure - the consequences for me can be awful!!

Thanks

its ok.

Just i know that sensitive skin can equal high prices.

I can always email my area leader and see if she can find out. Most probs be quicker that way.

I know avon have had a bad rap in the past about being over fragranced and what not but they have certainly changed their ways even my mother can tell the difference (before we were reps she was an on/off customer for over 17 years) and she says everything has changed but thats my mothers word. heh!

You want answers darn it!

I shall see if i can find anything even though i know others have posted. I'll have a tinker myself

Sensitive skin does not mean expensive - not if you can find out what it is that aggravates you. I've pretty much narrowed it down - which is why I need to know what is in the product before I buy.

Look forward to the results of your reseach Fruit Salad!

I've just started using it and really like it. Got mine from the Body Shop - was £15 but a little seems to go a long way.

I've used the foundation one by collection 2000 and I thought it was fine.

Hi everyone,
I have bought some mineral make-up on your advice about 2 months ago. On the end I went for Southern Magnolia Minerals from USA, because you get a huge bag for little money. But now I have a lots of stuff I don't know how to use!
I have a foundation (which I use already-love the feeling), green corrector, yellow corrector, Perfect powder primer & finishing powder/veil.
Anyone can recommend how to use those as I don't want it to be wasted... And of course want to look beatiful!:-))

The green you would apply first if you have rosey cheeks to disguise. A very small amount buffed on slowly adding more if needed - too much and you will "Ghost"

The yellow would be to be used after foundation - to cover any blemishes or dark circles

The mineral veil is your blotter and the one that gives the "air brushed" look - goes on last to give a nice dewy finish. I tend to load the brush but not tap off with that - just to get a good blotting effect. It should be fine enough not to cake up - just practice

I've not got any veil.... think I may have to get some from EB..!! Guess you have to use a different brush?? I'm dreadful at just shoving it on... buff vaguely.. and worse with the dark mornings as I can't see that well, but it all seems to look ok at the end of it. When I first got it all, i tried too hard, applied too much - and looked caked!

Just use the same brush, dip in, tap off,work in and then buff away. Its the mineral veil that fills in the pores and gives the airbrushed finish. With that I start on the t zone as thats where I need the most help and work out to hairline. .

The green corrector DOES take a bit of practice. I squidge the bush up as tiny as possible before dipping in the pot so as not to scoop too much up then work in, tap off and buff. To get it right means a sort of buff finish with no green tinge - then do the foundation and then if needed another bit of green on top

Re shade - do you choose one that is the same?

I'm sort of vaguely (:o ) mixing a couple of colours together in my usual haphazard way and would need a shade that was a haphazard I guess!! Or is it like er (bum) like er - blast, can't think of the name, the pressed powder used to use years back, and it kinda didn't have a colour... I'm rambling now.
