I'm not really sure what Rapunzel uses on me, I'm pretty sure it's the cheap stuff though.
The cheap stuff? I think not! SWGB, you wear Laura Mercier Foundation Primer, Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation and Loose Powder, and Laura Mercier Secret Camoflage concealer, and Bare Minerals bronzer. You, like AL, wear Nars blush in Orgasm, and you use Lancome eyeshadow and Urban Decay eyeliner.
So I need a Punzy lesson. I can dig that. Wonder what she charges
Funny enough, I charge a margarita!
I like mineral makeup, too...but like you I thought it made my pores look big and just generally didn't like the texture of Bare Minerals. We are about the same age, and I think we came of age in the 80's and like our make-up matte and porcelain looking. The glowy/dewy thing is hard for us.
If you really are having makeup settle into your pores I recommend you get your hands on two products post haste -- first, Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque
Buy Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque, Mint Julep Online at drugstore.com and second, Dr. Houschka Normalizing Day Oil.

I love Laura Mercier's pressed mineral makeup. It has a more matte finish without looking powdery, and since it's pressed it doesn't end up all over your bathroom! I also recently got the Orgasm Multiple, and I don't love it. It's too light and too dry to wear on your lips and it is more of a highlighter for your cheeks rather than a blush. I prefer yellow tones in highlighter like T. LeClerc's Banane

I recently parted ways with my long stand-by mascara. I've been using Diorshow for years, ever since Chanel discontinued Drama Lash. Well, Lancome (same parent company as Chanel) recently introduced Hypnose Drama Mascara, and I thought maybe, maybe it was the same as Drama Lash. It's not -- it's better. It's a similar formula with a better brush and I love, love it.

Another miracle product since you brought up eyebrows -- Anastacia stencils.
Sephora: Anastasia Brow Ex-press: Eyebrow Enhancers These were lifesavers when I had a bad wax experience and they helped me grow my eyebrows back in the right shape.
