Help! Foundation Powder for Oily Skin Touchups
Hi,
I'm about NC25, yellow toned, with extremely oily skin. I'm oily to the point that even Estee Lauder double wear can only hold about 4 hours, and Giorgio Armani Matte Silk can hold about 2 hours or so.

In this kind of situation, I need a powder foundation for constant touchups.
I tried Estee Lauder double wear powder, but its way too think. GA Silk foundation powder is what I'm using right now. The Lightest shade they offer is 4, which is pretty dark already, so after the oil comes out...ewwww
I would try MAC, but last time I tried it breaks me out really badly.

Here is a list of what I'm thinking of getting:

Chanel Double Perfection
DiorSkin Forever
NARS Powder Foundation
Givenchy Mattissime
Guerlain Powder Foundation
YSL

anyone has any comment for extra oily skin >_<?

Re: Help! Foundation Powder for Oily Skin Touchups
Whatever You Choose... I Think You Should Touchup With Blotting Sheets And A Blot Powder (i Use Mac Blot Pressed Powder) And Try A Mattifier Before You Apply M/u. And Make Sure Your Skincare Products Are Oil-free As Well As Your M/u. This Has Helped Me...good Luck!

Blotting sheets are good, I use tea tree ones from the Body Shop. Diorskin Forever powder compact is excellent. The powder is really soft, looks natural and non-cakey and comes in various shades. Would recommend!
