i am planning to use Elf's HD powder and this. Is it ok to use both or should I use one only?

I use Coastal Scents Silica Spheres (exact same thing) along with this and get great results. The powder sets my foundation or BB cream and the Skindinavia spray sets everything up for longer lasting oil control.

My wife only uses Premier Concentrated Facial Cream in the green bottle and the Premier Biox Internsive Age defying cream in the round silver and red jar during the day and not at night. She alternates usage! She never uses them both at the same time.

I would use 2 packages, just to be on the safe side. Also make sure to leave on for at least 2-3 hours and have a spray bottle of water to keep your hair damp during that time. I love this stuff, no more chemicals to keep my hair gray free:)

Sure,just don't be heavy handed with it otherwise you could end up a cakey mess.Let it dry COMPLETELY before you add powder.

I haven't use the two together. It may be to much product to use together. The active serum already makes your skin tingle. The two combined would be to much for my skin.

I have a friend who mixes the two to make hand lotions - I will ask her about using on your hair but since they are both natural can't see any problems.

You must mix this with your normal moisturizer. Instructions say not to use alone. It does not make my face any dryer but I notice more of an improvement in overall texture.

Yes, I do with no problem. Just mux what you want to use, and save what you don't need unmixed (once mixed, you must use it right away.) I just cover the developer with plastic wrap put the cap on the color.

Yes, I think it would work for either just remember that both products are fine powder so you may get more than desire....just be careful on how hard you shake it.

I think the nutritional facts would be the same as heavy cream. From what I have been able to discover, it's recommended that you mix one part powder to three parts water.It is strange that no info is printed on the container.

I bought the BM starter kit and really only use the MV. I continue to wear my regular foundation that I have worn for years and still use the MV. I always used CornSilk pressed powder for shine control, but besides the fact that they dont make it anymore, I find that using the MV over my foundation is great! I go all day without blotting!

Hi there! I would say it depends on how you plan on using the powder. I am a darker skinned woman, so I use the Ben Nye Chestnut all over my face to set my foundation (or by itself if I am quickly running an errand on the weekend) and use the Topaz to set my highlights. You would probably want to use Topaz to set your foundation and the Banana to set your highlights. My best suggestion is to search for videos on YouTube so you can see how the powders look on women of different shades. Good luck! :-)

I've used this as a finishing powder combined with cocoa powder in equal amounts. I love it because it covers the spots on my face. I'm pretty sure that it also provides sun protection. The only thing that I'm worried about using this as a "foundation" powder, is that I read somewhere that you're not supposed to inhale this product. I mean, I know I'd be breathing a very small amount, but still... it's something I need to investigate further.You could also try adding a little cornstarch or arrowroot powder to this mix. Oh, and if you could run the powders through a coffee grinder it'd be better. That way the ingredients would be mixed equally and it would create a more fine powder. I hope this helps.

What kind of makeup?If it's a liquid foundation I would think powder would "set" it better than using an additional liquid in a toner.It is a good product,but should be used to balance the ph on clean skin before applying moisturizer.

yes i do, but try to use all the same type of makeup as this is powder allow your foundation to be powder base also.

Dear Shari,Which one is safe and which one is not. They are both widely used and mainstream. Thanks so much. :) -Mary

Yes, absolutely! I've used both separately, or a mixture of the two together.
