Cool! They were suppose to give me a sample of the Oil Control Lotion too but they forgot... I have the jar but it was empty! LOL!! I got a sample of the green gel cleanser too... I REALLY like it. I've been using my Mary Kay oil control lotion which isn't helping... it used to but my skin is changing again.

I'm going tomorrow to get the full size of the green gel, matte, oil control, & prep/prime... still debating on the pressed blot powder... have you used the skinfinish natural? What does everyone think of it as a pressed powder to stay matte thru the day in place of the blot powder?

I use studio fix fluid in NW43 and use Medium Dark MSFN to set it. Perfection.

In the future you can just buy that powder from Coastal Scents. It's exactly the same... CS is 1 oz for only $4 and MUFE 0.3 oz for $30. I have it and it's great.

I'm NC 27 & set with NC 30 loose powder or BE mineral veil. Finish with fix + & buff w/ skunk brush

 

[aziajs]

I use MSF Natural to set my SFF.

 

[kdd2411]

I use bare escentuals mineral veil to set my makeup and foundation.

When I wear Studio tech foundation I don't use anything to set it because it's a cream to powder formula. When I use Studio Sculpt or the liquid mineralize foundation, I use the mineralize powder or studio fix powder to set it.

I use Mineralize Satinfinish foundation, and MSF-Dark to set it, or a pressed powder that I bought from the Arbonne company. Both work like a charm.

 

[sunscreens]

I use the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose, no ashiness on my NC40 skin.

Currently using Nars Sheer Glow in Syracuse and setting it with MSFN in Medium Dark

 

[Twinkle_Twinkle]

I usually set my foundation with any one of the following:
- NARS Pressed Powder in Soleil
- Becca Pressed (or Loose) Powder in Carob
- Ben Nye Neutral Set Translucent Powder

When I am wearing Satinfinish I set with either the MAC Loose Blotting Powder or IMAN Oil-Blotting Pressed Powder.

And sometimes I set with good old powder (Px, which is not as heavy as Studio Fix which is actually a foundation in powder form).

Funny how much this has changed in the almost two years since I first replied to this post.

I use MUFE's HD Powder. From what I hear, Coastal Scents makes a very similar powder for a lot less--but I'm afraid to switch because I love this powder so much!

 

[winwin]

I use a different powder for a different foundation.

When I'm using Revlon Colorstay I tend to use my msfn in medium plus.
With my mufe hd I used my mufe hd powder.
My Nars sheer matte I tend to pair with my mac pressed blot powder.

Don't know why, I just find this works best for me.

I use Ben Nye banana powder and it's AWESOME for me. It's so natural, even in flash pictures. Total HG product.

 

[User38]

I usually set my mu with these: Fix or Avene spray, a light dusting of powder (all different favorites) which depend on the foundation, and then a last dusting of Kryolan Shine control usually on T Zone.. this usually makes it last for the whole day.

 

[Notorious19]

I set my foundation with MAC MSF Natural in Deep Dark. Works like a charm.
