Hi Sarah,
I can understand your problem. I have been selling makeup for 35 years (yes, I hate to admit it) however, I have applied many makeups on all skin types, with the original loose powder with talc, new mineral makup with talc, and vegan mineral makeup with NO talc, (such as my own label Past.Present.Future Artistry cosmetics). Back to your problem of the “powdery effect”, This can be solved by using a fine spray mist (I sell a rose spray mist) that adds WATER, not OIL to your skin. With this spray your “Powdery looks” gets an even more air-brushed effect.This is applied during and after the application. Another tip as well, when applying your mineral makeup, are you using a mineral powder primer? This is really important, to achieve that perfect air brush look, and it covers up a multitude of sins!!! It is truly amazing (mine of course)
I am only saying this because I have applied just about every mineral cosmetic made in Australia and overseas, and the one that I sell, made in South Australia, with no talc, no nasties goes on like silk, and it works fantastic as a base to put over your moisturiser, because if you don’t use a powder primer under the mineral powder, the powder “grabs” to the OIL in the moisturiser, therefore, and uneven application. I could go on, but check out my site for more info. I have plenty, and believe me, I have experienced every kind of problem in makeup and skin-care you could ever possibly imagine (since I’ve been around for a while !! ha ha
