A great marriage is not when the 'perfect couple' comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

What is the difference between Original Glo, Semi-Matte, Matte, and Intensive ?
Everyday Minerals knows that our complexions don't always cooperate with us, therefore on those humid summer days you may want to give yourself a little edge during the heat. And sometimes during those cool spring mornings you want to radiate a glow that warms your spirit.

Original Glo gives your face that added touch of dewiness and long lasting coverage, and is ideal for normal to dry skin.

Semi-Matte is a more subtle glow formulated for normal to combination skin.

Matte, provides a silky smooth matte finish that is ideal for normal to oily skin.

Intensive, ideal for all skin types, provides a silky near-matte finish and controls oil where needed without drying your skin. We suggest mixing and matching formulas so you can make all the right beauty choices to fit your personality and time of year.
 
belle,
tks. ok, next question, how do you gals choose colours?

Sad to say, I'm also color blind like SQ. :p
 
belle...
oh okie...at least these timings are somewhat more family friendly...yeah...told my hubby that if i do grilles for the house..its also becoz of him..not for the kids...the kids won't climb out...but he would lor.
wah..chloe also going to be a soccer fan. So cute!!!
 
if u gals read carefully. it means. this EDM.. the 'skin types'. is actually more on function. then match skin type.. right?

autum: u smart! u chose all the different formula kinds! :p.. but i heard intensive.. (cannot remember what my fren said. she said a lot of things). sometimes can cause pimples. if not correctly used..
 
SQ/Irin: u two really colour blind?? or just kidding only?

Astro: i think i anyhow humtam the correct one, cos i ordered one semi matt too... my skin is def not oily. should have try an intensive one too.
 
irin
eh currently i want to get a orangey / coral tone blusher, so i go by suitable for fair skin n the tone they describe. so if i see sthing i think too dark for me, or its pink tone i wont choose lor.
 
and the categories of the foundations explained:
(bear with me.. long post)

Can you explain your foundation categories ?
The foundations are broken down into 6 different categories: Warm, Golden, Cool, Beige, Buff, and Olive.



WARM

Warm is for skin tones with a yellow, ruddy or peachy complexion. Hair color can range from dark brown to dark blonde to dark auburn. Eye color is usually brown, hazel, or darker blue. This skin tone tans well and usually does not burn. If you look at the underside of your arm, your veins may have a slight greenish tint if you can even see them at all. You look better in warmer colors, gold jewelry, and ivory instead of white. Here are the shades in the warm category:

Medium Beige

ideal for light tan complexions. Some celebrities that would use this shade are Sophia Bush, Molly Sims and Heidi Klum.

Buttered Tan

ideal for those with a creamy yellow, honey shade whom have medium tan to olive complexions. Take a look at our model on the “Get This Look” tab for an excellent example. Some celebrity examples would be Jennifer Lopez, and Jessica Alba.

Medium Beige Summer

is for light tan complexions with peachy undertones. Think Jessica Biel and Lauren Conrad.

Sandy Medium

is for medium tan skin with pink to peachy undertones. Take a look at our model on the “Get This Look” tab. Some other examples would be Thandie Newton and Alicia Keys.

Tan

is ideal for tan complexions with red to brown undertones. Jordan Sparks and Tyra Banks could wear this shade.

GOLDEN

Golden is for a deep, rich yellow skin tone, like a sheet of gold. Hair color can range from darker medium brown to a buttery blonde. You have very golden highlights in your hair. Eye color can be blue, hazel, green or a lighter shade of brown with some gold specs. This skin tone tans very easily and does not burn. If you take a piece of paper and hold it close to the underside of your arm, it should reflect a yellowish or golden tint upon the white paper. You definitely look better in gold jewelry than silver. The gold picks up the highlights/golden color in your hair and skin. You may also notice that wearing black close to your face may take some of your color away and make you appear washed out. Here are the shades in the golden category:

Fawn

is for fair to light golden skin tones. Some celebrity examples would be Kate Hudson and Goldie Hawn.

Golden Fair

is ideal for fair complexions with slight yellow undertones. Some celebrities that could use this shade would be Cameron Diaz and Carrie Underwood.

Light

works very well with soft yellow undertones. It is ideal for light to medium golden complexions. Think of Jessica Simpson, and Faith Hill.

Winged Butter

perfect for light olive complexions with strong yellow undertones. Take a look at our model on the “Get This Look” tab. Jennifer Aniston would wear this shade.

Medium Tan

ideal for medium to tan complexions with deep warm undertones. Halle Berry and Jennifer Lopez are celebrity examples of this shade.

Medium Deep

is for golden, deep complexions such as Vanessa Williams and Rihanna.

COOL



Cool is for those with pinkish or soft red undertones. Hair color can range from black to dark red to platinum blonde. Eye color is usually light as in blue or green. If you are African American, then your eye color will be very dark brown, almost black . Cools usually burn first and may take along time to achieve a tan. Quite a few won’t tan at all. If you look at the veins on the underside of your arm, they will appear bluish. Cool skin tones look better in silver jewelry, white instead of ivory and bolder colors close to their face. Here are the shades in the cool category:

Fair

is ideal for fair complexions with natural earthy pink undertones. Some examples would be Angie Everhart, Kate Walsh, and Courtney Cox.

Fair Medium

is a shade that is half-way between fair cool and medium cool shades. It is perfect for fair to light complexions with pinkish undertones. Some examples would be Cate Blanchet, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Kate Winslet.

Multi-Tasking Neutral

is for fair to light complexions without much natural color in the cheeks. Jennifer Connley, Liv Tyler, Elizabeth Taylor, and Marcia Cross are all good examples for this shade.

Medium

is for medium to tan complexions with pinkish undertones. Think of Katie Holmes, and Lynda Carter.

Medium Summer

is a little deeper color than Medium. It still for medium to tan complexions with pinkish undertones. Like Katie Holmes after a holiday in the Bahamas.

Deep Tan

is ideal for deeper complexions with pink to brown undertones. Examples would be Oprah Winfrey and Star Jones.

BEIGE

Beige is a more neutral skin tone category than the rest. It is perfect for those with soft beige complexions with a tinge of yellow or pink. All Hair and eye color can fit into this category. You may look great in both gold and silver jewelry, as well as white and ivory. If your skin tone has a tinge of yellow, warmer colors will look slightly better on you. If you have a tinge of pink with beige undertones, cooler colors may look slightly better against your skin. Here are the shades in the beige category:

Sandy Fair

is for fair complexions with soft beige undertones. Nicole Kidman is an excellent example of whom would use this shade.

Sunkissed Fair

is a fair natural shade with a little bit of color from a tan. Think Jennie Garth.

Fairly Light

is a perfect shade for those with fair to light complexions that have some soft yellow or pink undertones. Renee Zellweger would use this shade.

Medium Beige Neutral

is for light tan complexions that have yellow or pink undertones. Sandra Bullock and Molly Sims fall into this shade.

Light Medium

is excellent for light to medium complexions with yellow to pinkish undertones. Reese Witherspoon and Christy Brinkley are prime examples.

Light Tan

is suited for mild tan complexions moving into winter, Latinos with soft tan skin tones. Some examples would be Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Alba, and Eva Longoria.

BUFF



These shades will fit those complexions with natural to natural yellowish brown undertones in their skin. You will look better in warm colors, ivory instead of white, and gold jewelry. Hair color is typically warm brown to butterscotch blonde. Eye color can be any shade but will have some gold or yellow specs in them. You should tan instead of burn unless your skin tone is a very light beige. You also tend looked washed out without any blush(color) on your cheeks and eyes. Here are the shades in the buff category:

Fair Neutral

ideal for fair complexions with natural, earthy ivory undertones. Kate Bosworth would wear this shade.

Fairly Light Neutral

for fair to light complexions with natural muted light brown undertones. Think Heather Locklear.

Light Neutral

for light complexions with soft earthy beige undertones. Denise Richards and Christina Applegate are examples.

Beige Neutral

for medium complexions with medium beige to olive undertones. Terri Hatcher and Catherine Zeta Jones are prime examples.

OLIVE



These shades will fit those with yellowish, green undertones. Most Asians and Latinos will fall into this category. Hair and eye color are usually both dark. If you look at the underside of your arm, your veins are probably greenish. You tan very easily and never burn. You can not wear pastel colors, bold colors work much better on you!! You have probably found that many foundation colors end up looking ashy or pink on your skin. Everyday Minerals foundation will work perfectly for you as it allows your true olive skin tone to show through. Here are the shades in the olive category:

Olive Fair

ideal for light complexions with olive undertones. Lucy Lui and our model on the “Get This Look” page are examples.

Light Olive

is for light olive complexions with buttery yellowish undertones. Salma Hayek and our model on the “Get This Look” page match this shade perfectly.

Golden Medium

is a versatile soft golden shade ideal for light to medium olive complexions. Eva Longoria and Penelope Cruz could use this shade.

Olive Medium

is for medium complexions with very olive skin tones. Eva Mendes and our model on the "Get This Look" page are excellent examples.

In Closing

We hope this makes it easier for you to decide on the Everyday Minerals Foundation shade or shades that work perfectly for you!! Keep in mind that the depth of your skin tone does change with the seasons. In summer you may be a Medium Tan from the Golden Category and a Medium Beige Neutral from the Beige Category in the winter.

The best area to try a foundation color is..on your face!! The underside of your wrist will be too light and so will your neck. Also, some people have more red in their faces or darker pigmentation and will need the correct foundation shade to even out their skin tone. One of the great things about Everyday Minerals is that it is so easy to mix your foundations to get that perfect color for every season! Now we have the large mixing jars, which make it a snap to create your perfect color.
