You mind if I ask what your skin type is? I'm trying to narrow down what skin types like it most and why...

So far, I love the finish on combination to oily skin.

I have combination skin. Dry on my cheeks and oily t-zone. I also found this foundation to run light.

Are the tinted ones also sweat retardant? (e.g. ebony, topaz, sienna, etc.)Set your makeup with Ben Nye Neutral Set. It's a sweat retardant.

I don't believe they are. The sweat-retardant is part of the setting property of the neutral set, and the tinted powders aren't setting powders.

Ah okay. I wanted to try that neutral set but am afraid it will leave a cast on me. Maybe I can try using it before applying my foundation as opposed to on top?

It shouldn't. I'm NW45 and Neutral Set never left a cast on me. I left Neutral Set behind though and have been using Kryolan's Anti-Shine Powder for years. I was never really that impressed with Neutral Set but my Kryolan is Holy Grail. Less is more with both the Ben Nye Neutral Set and the Kryolan Anti-Shine Powder though.

Wow thanks! We're the same shade so I'll try to see if I can get a sample of both to see what works best for me.

Neutral Set has absolutely no colour, as opposed to translucent powders, which do have some colour.

I am loooooooving this powder so far! I've been wearing it with the prolongwear concealer just bounced on my blemishes and under my eyes and I have been getting compliments and people asking what am I wearing all day. I left my powder at home but Its 3:46 and I don't even need to blot!

Nice! That sounds promising! I think I read earlier up you said you were about NC50 and that you were going to grab Dark Deep (I think), did you experience any oxidation with the powder?I'm typically oily

Ye I am NC50 in the Prolongwear concealer . I only mention specifically the concealer because I heard that it runs a little different than the foundation. I did get the Dark Deep and it is perfect. He tried the Dark and it was too light almost ashy looking! LOL... The powder didn't oxidize on me at all.. I always use a primer so I don't know if that stopped the oxidation since its controlling the oil. Oh and that Timecheck lotion underneath this powder is everything!!! LOL
