I'm off to get some now! Many thanks. By the way if anyone is interested, I have just had some red vein treatment on my nose and cheeks and it was fantastic! I cant believe I left it so long and it only cost £20.00 and they are completely gone! So with new makeup, there is still hope!!:T

Hi Singingbird
Can you give more detail about the kind of treatment you had for your red veins and where you had the treatment done please?
Was it laser treatment?
Many thanks

Hi Singingbird,
If you use a make up primer and give it 5 mins before foundation you will see a difference in the appearance of your pores. it will help also if you use a light diffusing foundation too.

Hi
can someone help me please? I've just got some free samples of mineral make-up from 'everyday minerals' in the US and I've watched videos on how to apply it etc, however the problem I'm having is that is brings out wrinkles under my eyes that I've never noticed before!!!???
I use face serum, moisturiser and a face primer, as soon as I put on the powder the unoticeable bags and loose skin under my eyes appear and are very 'crepey', I've never noticed them with a cream foundation it is quite scarey!
Should I conclude that mineral make-up is not for me? However I like the way it stays on my face and the rest of my face looks and feels fine?
Any advice (please don't tell me to accept a crepe paper face!)?
Many thanks

Sometimes if it enhances your visible lines it can mean that you are wearing a shade too dark.

Wear the foundation, concealer, eye shadows and blusher!!!
