there're actually SO many more
you can find Pur minerals in shoppers, Bare Minerals in sephora (actually i've seen shoppers selling their starter kits too). a lot of drugstore brand make up also carries mineral make up now. (but i think they aren't as pure as the mmu's that are available online only)

i few other more "well known" brands that I can think of.
Aromaleigh
Alima
Illuminare
Jane Iredale
Lauress

Some other ones are that I'm looking at (for e/s only though):
Beautiful girl minerals
Mad minerals
Fyrinnae

I think EDM and Lumiere have more shades and formulas to choose from, which is of course better imo.. I've only tried these 2 and bare minerals. i definitely prefer lumiere's luminesse formula. I don't wear foundation all the time so I stopped trying out other foundations from other companies. I just end up buying their eye shadows =p

this website talks about mineral make up~.. but the brands that they review are only a little portion of what's out there @_@ but then again that should be enough =p

i ordered the 20 pc too =ppp

i don't like bare minerals..~ i don't think it's even worth to try it..! they only have like.. less than 10 shades =\ the lightest shade is too dark for me. (i AM really pale but still. how good can a company be when they offer so little shades?!)

and i also ordered another 20 pcs from mad minerals... ^^"

and i urge you girls to try out mineral foundations as well~~ it's supposed to be better for your skin =D

they have samples ga ma. very cheap ga ja.
and if you tell them (email them) what shades you wear in the other brands (say mac or armani or dior or whatever). they should be able to tell you which shades are more similar to your actual shade
also if you look at their foundation descriptions, they also tell you which group of undertones'd probably be your match. =D

the promo ends on mar 31 ah~~
i've ordered from them before ga! they are nice! you don't need to worry about creasing with them. you should go ahead and place your order =ppp

aiya! haha ng ho gum la! you can never have too much make up ga ma!! (same thing applies to shoes and clothings and so on =p)

冇顏色嘅粉? you mean the finishing powders?? it helps set your make up. some can also be used as a primer. and i think the silk powder helps absorb oil if you have oily skin. they used to have pearl powder as well! 珍珠粉! people claimed that they achieved fabulous results after using the pearl powder. some use it as a primer and as a finishing powder. some use it before they go to bed at night. i bought a jar as well but i didn't see a miracle lor. but heehee i can say i'm proud of my skin.. so i guess i won't be able to see much of an improvemet..? o^^o
or do you mean the untinted bases @_@? it says they're "left untinted so you can add to darker foundation colors to create your own custom blend" hm i dunno. i just mixed my too-light and too-dark samples together to neutralize the color
i would say just try out the foundations and e/s first~ cuz you can just regular loose powder to set your make up anyways or not use any at all...

each company has has different formulas for different skin types ga~
for oily skin they have ingredients such as kaolin clay to control oil
for dry skin they have some moisturizing ingredients as well~

i have dry skin. but edm's original glo does not work for me. the minerals just sit on top of my skin.. semi-matte is a little too drying on my dry spots.

lumiere's luminesse is way better for me..~
