Do you use a moisturizer before putting on the minerals? I notice that if I don't do that, then it does look ashy. A trick to not have it be ashy is to lightly mist your face with water after you've put on your minerals. It kind of helps set it.

Also, if using minerals, you're probably using a veil to set it. Try to use a veil that is close to the same color as your foundation. Hope this is somewhat helpful.
