Very Disappointed - Sparkles Everywhere!
-Most of the products in this set (blush and eye shadow) are VERY sparkly, which I did not expect and which I was specifically trying to avoid. They look like they would be very natural, neutral tones, but when you open the jars you can see they are full of glittery product. I wanted something I could use for a bridal look, and it is not recommended that you use something with glitter, as this can make your face look shiny and sweaty. When I put the blush on my face, it has exactly this effect - a very fake, overdone shiny look, even with just the smallest bit of the blush. So the blush is a total waste, and the eye shadows aren't much better.<br /><br />-The foundation kind of comes on cakey even after using a very tiny bit, though I am hoping with practice I can apply it more effectively, since I am not very familiar with mineral foundations.<br /><br />-The makeup did not last on my face all day, even though I used the mineral veil finishing powder and the spray that is supposed to help it stick.<br /><br />-There is not a ton of pigment to these colors. The eye shadow that looks like it would be a warm brown is so light that it barely adds any color to my skin, and I have very light skin. It just looks like it smoothed out my natural skin tone. I guess if you are looking for that, fine, but don't expect it to look much different than a nude.<br /><br />-The containers do not come with a plastic guard that a lot of powders come with to keep them from coming out too fast, so it is hard to tap out the right amount of powder into the very TINY cap without making a mess and wasting makeup.<br /><br />Overall, very disappointed, although I will keep practicing on off-days to see if the foundation, bisque, and mineral veil are still usable.
