Hideous experience with mineral make up

Went into Selfridges today and thought I would have a go with this mineral make up that everyone is raving about. Old bat with turkey neck and about two inches of slap made me up. It looked terrible. It clung in clumps to the dry areas of my skin, sucked all the moisture out of my eye area and gave me the wrinkles of an 80 year old (am 44 and have quite good skin - or so I thought!).

Said to the woman that I didn't like it - the first thing I noticed when I looked in the mirror was the crepey eyes, followed by the clumps on my cheeks. It also had a sort of greyish tinge - not remotely flattering. Told her I would see how it went, but by lunchtime, my cheeks were feeling really tight and dry and the wrinkles were digging themselves in deeper and for the duration.

Anyone else had this luck with it?

You can find videos on YouTube for applying mineral makeup. They are quite good although I was a bit at the first one I watched where the girl applied about 7 layers of the stuff to her face! She did look good though, although she was probably 21 which helped.
