    I really wanted this to work, sadly it didn't deliver for me. I was encouraged to try it based on good reviews here on mua. I was using BE in Light, but I got back from vacation tanned and the...

    I first tried this when I received a generous RAOK from super sweet MUAer tdowney. There is an impressive range of colors, so I was able to find a matching shade in W-0 for winter and W-1 for...

    I bought more than $40 worth of samples from Alima hoping to find a perfect match for my complexion. The colour is not bad. However the foundation exaggerated my pores after about 2 hours! My...

    WOW. I ordered four samples in colors W-0, W-1, N-0 and N-1, since I had no idea what my shade would be. I am very light, with freckles and brown hair, and it is pretty common for the lightest...

    I really didn't want to try Alima. I was in love with Everday Minerals' matte formula and felt a certain loyalty to Carina's team. Em was the first (and only!) MMU line I'd ever tried, and I was...

    I have experimented with all types of MMU and this one is heads above the rest. BE makes me look like a shiny disco ball and Everyday Minerals looked like a chalky mess on my skin. Alima has...

    I chose Alima for my first try at mineral makeup because they offer very light shades and I am quite pale. I ordered samples of C-0 (Lily) and N-0 (Damask) and Alima generously threw in samples of...

    I'm currently using Laura Mercier MMU in Rich Vanilla but with all the raves on Alima, I decided to buy a few samples. I'm a MAC NC35 and I found a very close match to LM Rich Vanilla. I mix 2/3...

    In an attempt to control my sensitive, acne-prone skin, I've recently jumped on the mineral makeup bandwagon. I apply it with a kabuki, and then use a 2nd layer of the foundation using a liquid...

    Perfection in MMU! This covers well, doesn't dry out your skin, break your skin out or cost a fortune. I have tried BE, JI, EM, Larenim, Pur, and this beat them all. Nice color selection, customer...

    This is the best MMU I've found to date. Bismuth makes me itch, so that rules out many others. Alima has a great color selection, creamy coverage, and reasonable prices. I'm still experimenting...
