I agree with much of what's said. However, my personal experience is while compact powder foundation is easy to apply, they do not wear well. From my amateurish experience, liquid foundation + loose powder give the best look and wear, followed by mineral makeup and compact foundation would be last. The latter just looks patchy and cakey (or maybe I just haven't found a good one to suit my skin type). <font color="#990033"><strong>flym</strong>: I think the brand of compact do make a difference but it also depends on your skin type. I agree the liquid foundation and loose powder but it's not for me though. </font> Very well written article. I agree with much of what’s said.

Check up my link here which tells you the places in Singapore that sells MM. Mineral powder foundation looks like loose powder, but has much better coverage. Now, a couple of brands like EM and the two Joy mentioned above also offer in pressed form. http://www.vivawoman.net/2008/04/11/buying-mineral-makeup-in-singapore/</font> is there any mineral powder available over the counter in Spore .. except for the skin story ??

There are actually mineral powders that come pressed now. You can try Pur minerals and also Jane Iredale pure pressed powder. I like both of them a lot! <font color="#990033"><strong>Joy</strong>: Oh great! I've been thinking about EM's pressed powder. May give one of these a try soon.</font> I’ve been doing trial and error on mineral powders as well! There are actually mineral powders that come pressed now.
