I LOVE my Milan Minerals!!!! And I mist my lightly loaded kabuki brush with my facial mist beofre applying the mineral makeup for more moderate coverage, then do a light mist to my entire face after eyes, cheeks and lips are done to set it. Mineral makeup is the best thing that ever happened to my skin.

[...] I love mineral makeup. I also love supporting small businesses. And after realizing that Philosophy The Supernatural may not be the be-all-and-end-all for me when it comes to foundation, I’ve been searching for a new mineral foundation. I first mentioned that in my In Defense of Diana post, and as luck would have it, I’ve since been so fortunate as to try two fabulous makeup lines that are working overtime to produce makeup for bellas all shades of beautiful. Get ready to add something special for yourself to your holiday shopping list, gorgeous! [...]

Well, I don’t like MS. ROSS’ makeup, I do love her style and agree she looks great for a woman of her age…I tend to disagree with the posters who don’t think it is her hair. I was emailed this site last year on Diana Ross’ sister who is a doctor…well at the bottom of the page is a picture gallery and shows a pic of them as little girls with LOTS and LOTS of hair…check it out for yourself:

My mother sold me on the wonders of Prescriptives Custom Blend many years ago. Not only do I get the perfect match for my skintone, but they also add in the extras to keep me shine free and beautifully bronzed (I always opt for oil-control and “radiance” add-ins to my foundation and powder). Plus, with my sensitive skin, I’m too chicken to experiment with other brands or to hop on the minerals train. Once my face finds something it likes, I tend to stick with it, and Prescriptives has yet to let me down.

i bet her make up looks fine but for the flashbulb. like most performers, Diana seems to go out with theatrical make-up and that stuff is not flashbulb friendly. i bought some iman make-up which if you look at it on my skin, it blends just fine, but take a flash photo and i look like i have scurvy.

now those cheeks…hoo-boy…

Hello bellas-Diana is beautiful! I am currently using Valana Minerals. The founder of this MU line is a woman of color, and believe me she left no stones unturned when it comes to foundation colors, and undertones for ethnic skins. It’s all natural, and it’s all good. I too have been responded to personally from Valerie Reed, the co-founder of Valana Mineral Makeup. She seems to be a very down to earth person. I use to use BE mineral makeup until it started itching upon application-the tone was off also.

I used to use only Bare Escentuals, until I noticed that ashy look…I was all about the swirl-tap-blend, but their color range didn’t work for my skintone, and I needed to change it up.

After a little experimenting with products, I opted for a custom blend liquid foundation from Prescriptives. I love it! It was a little pricey, about $60 a bottle, but it’s worth it, especially when applied with a foundation brush. I have acne-prone skin, and my breakouts have lessened with the new foundation. I do use a little bit of BE Warmth to give dimension.

I just ran up on Laura Geller this weekend while I was at Sephora. The bronzer and apricot blush is amazing. The products are so new she hasn’t even added them to her webpage yet. It is on the sephora page though: http://www.sephora.com/browse/brand_hierarchy.jhtml?brandId=5843&searchString=laura%20geller

I love it!

Diana is my girl! Always!!!She looks fabulous and always has. She has a style unique to her and is a 100% class act. thanks for the “I Will Survive” video. It got me up and dancing and as a 56 year old Momma I want to move all the time so I can stay in shape and remain flexible. Even my toy poodle got in on the act. Bless your heart for taking me back to the past but showing how relevant the past is to the present. I am also happy to know others love Miss Ross as much as I do! Peace

Mac’s new mineral makeup is amazing, I love the pressed powder. It doesn’t come in a hige assortment of shades but it’s worth it!
