It's one of the best mmu I've ever try. I have oily acne prone skin and never caused me any break outs, it doesn't emphasize dry patches and last longer than Everyday Minerals mmu. Also Alima has...

I really like the finish of this, it's very natural. They also seem to have a very wide shade range. Unfortunately they don't have a wide enough range. After trying 0-2 of the warm, neutral, and...

Yes, the texture is extremely fine, making it softer than EM. But that can be good or bad. When I apply EM, I don't have to think - just blob on and brush in. If you do that with Alima, it will...

This is a great foundation for my skin. I have combo, acne prone skin that tends to make mmu look cakey. This foundation doesn't cake up and melds into my face for a flawless finish. I would say...
