@SilleeMee do you use this foundation? I really appreciate your answer. That took some time to write and post pics. Thank you!  Off to look at the website now.

@JeanLouiseFinch do you find that you don't need a primer or concealer with it? Is it really 4 in one?

@Ainhisg  I don't have any under eye darkness and the rest of my coloring is even so I never use a concealer.  I do use an inexpensive primer whether I'm using the foundation alone or as a setting powder over a BB cream or tinted moisturizer.

@Ainhisg I recall that the Bare Mineral mineral veil and radiance blushes have a sheen. Two products i recommend are the original foundation and warmth.  i prefer the loose product, swirl - tap - buff and the angled face brush.  The Q has good prices at times.  you might want to peruse the Bare Minerals site.  Hope that helps.

Yes I wear HBG foundation an sometimes I wear Pur Minerals.  Lately I haven't worn much of either but it's there when I need some foundation.

@SilleeMee still considering the samples from Honeybee. I realize I won't know until I experience them firsthand, but I did want to verify that these are matte and not luminous or shimmery? Also, I looked at some past threads on primers and saw where you like the Elf putty primer poreless. Are you still using it and happy with it?

Honeybee Gardens mineral powders are all matte.

I still use the e.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer and I like it very much. When I wear mineral foundation, that primer helps keep my face looking fresh for longer...no touch-ups needed.

Thank you, @SilleeMee

I just ordered 6 samples and am excited to try them!  For the primer, do you just use your fingers? I see where Elf sells a putty brush. Any tips on the primer I should know? The last primer I used was a gazillion years ago and was a liquid.

You're welcome @Ainhisg 

Good luck finding what you need!

Apply the e.l.f. Poreless Primer with your fingers. A little goes a long way. If your skin feels tacky then you have applied too much. If that happens then try to gently wipe away the excess with a cloth. I haven't used that primer brush but if you decide to get it I would swipe the putty with light hand to avoid picking up too much product.
