Hi Very Happy

Ive been trying out different foundation MMU but now I want to try out some eye shadows/blush.

I dont really like sparkly makeup, prefer more matt or just a touch of shimmer. Quite like pinky or violet shades and earthy tones. I have dark blue eyes but not really sure what colours suit blue??

Can you tell me your favourite MMU company for the above?? Ta Very Happy

Carol-- I love Alima's eyeshadows and blushes. The colors are gorgeous, and you can buy samples for $1 so you can take a buncha colors for a "test drive" and then just order full sizes of the ones you like best.

For eye shadows I think you would like Pearluster Grace (very sheer plum with a hint of bronze--- much lighter than it looks on the website), pearluster Cassis (sheer soft violet), and pretty much ANY of the neutrals--- all of the beiges and browns I've tried from Alima have just been lovely.

As far as blush goes, I prefer shimmery blush so I'm afraid I can't advise you on Alima's matte blushes. However, I CAN tell you that the Sugar Rose blush is a stunning, subtle pinky-beige that gives a very natural look, so I would definitely recommend giving it a shot. HTH!

Carolb69, I've recently been using both Lumiere and LureBeauty-both mmu. I also prefer more matte to shimmer. My coloring is different from yours though-hazel eyes and lt. auburn hair. Both these co.have losts of choices: matte,shimmer, and some sparkle. Hope you find something you like.

I really love MMU by LaurEss. I admit, I am a sparkle lover, but I have my moments when I was something a little more matte. One of my favorite blushes is Smitten. That is a lovely matte (but not flat) blush. Also, I love the Star Lights by LaurEss. They are the perfect combination of matte and sparkle (very subtle). I bought their Holiday special last year and it included the Gingersnap Star Light. I really loved the texture and color.

Hope this helps!

I am new to MMU eyeshadows and blushes, but I've been using MMU foundation for a few years. I started using Jane Iredale shadows and blush recently. I like the pressed consistency of these, since it's what I am used to working with for these products. Sorry, I can't compare it to the other brands mentioned -- just wanted to mention JI in case pressed formulas were of interest to you.

my favorite MMU is by TwistedFayte(TF). love the colors and texture of the products. all the colors are very pigment and the lady behind TF often throw in extras and gave a huge portion for her sample size pigments.

but sadly TwistedFayte just pull out from the MMU. its really sad to see such good stuffs gone forever. Neutral now i m looking out for good and nice MMU.

any brands to recommend? tia

I only tried BE before... I would love to try other brands, any recommendations?

I read elsewhere about PureLuxe but never got down to trying them... Where do I find out more about this Alima you all are talking about?
