Oil on my MSFN... What to do??!!

[BaDKiTTy69]

Good morning girls!

So I have very oily skin

. And I get the oil in my compacts all the time.
From my blotting powder it comes off pretty easy with kleenex. But I cannot get it out from my MSFN. Maybe I let it sit in there for a too long or what

, but its like really hard layer of oily stuff on it. Whiping with the Kleenex did not help at all. What should I do?

I would use a paper towel because it is more coarse and lightly runit over to take the layer off.

Thanks, i will try that!

^This may sound weird but it could work...you could put a couple droplets of alcohol over it and when it evaporates it may lift the oil away....it def. won't hurt it!

take a mascara spoolie and gently scrape away the top layer that has the oil. good as new!

A MAC makeup artist told me to use a butter knife and lightly scrape at the powder. This will get rid of the oily film

Yep the butter knife trick works and the mascara wand!!

I've done it with duct tape, just cut a piece to fit the oil spot perfectly and gently remove. If the oil is deep down though it won't work. Otherwise, the mascara wand is a great trick~

absolutely. I've not done it with duct tape, but a good sticky scotch tape does the trick neatly, and you can repeat till you get it all off. I do this with shadows, too.

Wow, so many tricks!!! Definatly will try tonight! Hopefully my MSFN will be saved!!! Thank you all!

Update!!!
This is crazy!!! I started with mascara wand - Nothing!
Then I used a butter knife - Still big Nothing!!!
Its so freaking hard!
I begin to wonder, maybe its coming to the end? Does anybody have a picture of empty or almost empty MSFN? lol

if you're down to the circular lines in the bottom of the pan, you've hit bottom. those are weird cuz you dont hit metal pan like in the other powders, but its the special platform that they put them on for the 24 hour baking process. I know, too much info, but i just had to put it out there.

Yep...I agree. The bottom of MSF's definitely don't resemble the traditional pan. It's kind of a weird rough plastic-y platform. Just scratch it with your fingernail or with something hard and you should be able to tell if it's powder or not.

I've gone tru a few msfn and the first time i hit the pan i din't even realize it. It still looks like it got's powder in it ( i know im a nerd) but just scrape and u can tell whats left.

 

[BaDKiTTy69]

Thank you girls!!!
I hit the circular lines, so I guess this is it. LOL
I was like where is my metal pan???!!! My hubby took it out of the compact for me and like the whole platform is very weird! Like its very hard pressed powder with some glue on the bottom. My hubby was like what did you do to the powder????!!! hehe
You can tell this is my first MSFN. LOL Yay! Time to get a new one!
