Best oil control powder

[jgrosselin]

Hi !
First sorry for my english ... I am french and I really speak bad

.... sorry again ....
I have a oily skin and I love MMU

(I buy in US because it don't exist in France :-( )
I try blancing dust of EDM but do you use a better oil control powder ?
Thanks

Have you tried Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil? You can buy it at ulta.com, sephora.com, bareescentuals.com, and a host of ther stores. I also use MAC Blot pressed powder.

I use EM. I too have very oily prone skin. I have 2 finishing powders, finishing dust and silk dust. I personally love silk dust. I apply silk dust first before foundation. Then I set my entire mmu with finishing dust. Having the silk dust on before my foundation has helped oil/shine tremendously for me. I have not tried any of the other finishing dust tho. Maybe apply finishing powder before and after foundation. Hope that helps a little. GL

Thanks girls !

I didn't try BE because I thought it was really expensive ! But I will go on the link you put ! Thanks
Oh I have silk dust ..... but I never try before foundation (like I do with the balancing dust) ... thanks for the tip !

I hope you find the best mmu for ya

I tried BE awhile ago and with my sensitive picky skin I got annoying reactions. If it doesn't work out for you, you can always return it like I did

 

[jgrosselin]

Oh yes you can return it ?

But I think it's a little difficult because I am in France !
For the moment I tried EDM in matte (I love it) and I ordered some Aubrey Nicole's samples.
I also tried Monave but I have a really fair skin and the fairest shade was too dark for me (and I didn't like the formula).
The only problem it's that I have to wait a long moment for the orders (because of the shipping) ... I am waiting reasinimages's samples for 1 month !!!!

I have heard that other people have had problems recently with raesin images, long waiting times for samples.

I like jLynne's oil control powder:

Benefit Bluff Dust powder. It has cornstarch to soak up oil and nylon 12 to help smooth the complextion.

 

[jgrosselin]

Yes I saw kikki about reasinimages :-( .... I am really disappointed.
Thanks guys for the other products ! )

I have heard some really good rewiews on Fyrinnae's Rice Powder primer, which isn't expensive either, so that one will definately be in my next order from them.

Agree, it's okay nothing special you need to use a lot though for it to really work. Mac blot powder is pretty popular.

 

[jilliandanica]

have any of you tried or heard anything about the Meow Cosmetics "Premier Puss" Primer? I've got combo/oily skin.

The best one I've found so far is Lily Lolo's all-kaolin clay powder (I can't remember the exact name, but the ingredients are all listed on the website.

I put it on under my foundation and it's great (looks like dirt in the jar, but is invisible once you've got it on)!

 

[athena123]

The best setting powder I've found for oily skin is either the silk dust from Mineral Makeup - Foundation, Eye Shadow, Concealer, Lip Colors, and Blushes by Everyday Minerals, or a combination silk/pearl powder primer from Silken Pearl Products. Both companies ship internationally; shipping charges from Everyday Minerals is more reasonable, but if you have really oily skin the silk powder alone may not be enough.
