Hi Jom!

I have tried the reality base foundation...

It is really nice, but provides too much coverage for me. I could go without any foundation at all whatsoever, so I like a very, very sheer tint just to even things out a bit.
It also was a little too matte for me. i have dry skin and prefer a dewy look.

BUT I figure that it would be really wonderful for someone with oily skin who wants good coverage and a very polished look.
it is very skin friendly and environmentally conscientious.

I also have the primer and it definitely does a great job of filling in lines and smoothing the texture of the skin. I apply my mmu after the primer and my skin does look really nice for going out.

as for the lighter version of mmu that i prefer, it's amazing cosmetics velvet foundation, spritzed with water.

i hope that helps!

I tried the loose mineral powder a couple years ago. I liked it a lot but my skin did not. I've come to the conclusion my skin does not like MMU. I thought this would be different because I do well with zinc oxide but this was way irritating. I suspect the mica caused the horrible irritation. I've given up on MMU.

Avalange, I was not aware of the reformulation. I'll have to check it out. Thanks.
