I strongly advise using ebay for Sheer Cove products though, it's exactly the same but just cheaper

I would agree, I bought one of the 'starter kits' last month on eBay and I have to say I love it. Another bonus is that the Sheer Cover website and the telesales dept make you sign up for a subscription - I don't get through make-up that quickly and don't want to have another lot delivered every 2 months!

Have a look on the review boards at makeupalley.com to read more about mineral makeup.

I've been using it for about 8 months and have oily, acne skin. I've never been able to wear makeup everyday until discovering mineral makeup as it would make me break out really easily.

I get mine from everydayminerals.com Its an American company, but they do free sample kits to try out and delivery works out $5 each. You can only order one kit at a time, but you can order as many kits as you want. They do 25 foundation shades that come in 4 different finishes, so there is definitely something for everyone.

I got their custom starter kit which include 2 foundations, a finishing powder, a blusher, a concealor and a brush (I chose the kabuki brush worth $12). I got the whole lot delivered for about $40 (about £20). Everytime I place an order I add on a free samples kit, just so I can check out some other colours.

i used bare escentuals last 3 yrs love fact you can mix it and achieve better shades and multi task however now use laura geller great coverage stays on all day .most foundations dont unless they irritate ive tried most expensive brands so mineral or laura geller are great :j
you can make your own mineral make up i sent for a set ingredients from usa makes loads very messy though

I have quite large open pores. Can anyone advise which product to use, which wont accentuate these?

It's great to hear so many good reviews here.

I've bever tried mineral make-up and I'm wondering of there are any drawbacks. It all sounds so good!

I use Everyday Minerals everydayminerals.com and love it. I have used it for a year and hardly get any spots, esp since using Liz Earle skincare as well.

It doesn't contain bismuth, which some mineral makeups such as Bare Escentuals, so I get less redness and breakouts.

Foundations come in 4 different finishes and about 20 shades- a total of about 80 different foundations. Sample kits are free- you pay for P&P which works out at about £2.50 for 3 foundations, a concealor and blusher.

They are really reasonable, and do custom kits that work out at about £24 inc P&P for 6 full size items, inc foundations, finishing powders, blushers, lip colours and fab makeup brushes.

Hi like you i had never tried mineral makeup, till i won a luxury makeup box via MSE comps!!
I can say i have never looked back, i really like the coverage & it looks really natural, the lady who runs this site is called nicola & she was absolutely fab when it came to helping me find a blend for my skin. I went for the one for damaged skin, can't recommend enough!
HTH & Goodluck
