Summer is near, time to change foundation!

I've already done a search on this with keywords: liquid, powder, and foundation, and nothing popped up that answers my question. if anyone's found a thread like this, please post that link. Now off to the question!

The summer season is the worst for my, i've got oily skin and i know that if i use my studio fix fluid, it'll melt right off during the day. I've never tried a powder foundation before, and would like to get some recommendations on which would be great for an oily nc42 skin. im looking for a light-medium coverage.

what do you guys think of the studio fix powder plus foundation? and if i use the powder foundation, should i invest in Fix+?

I would try the minerialized skin finish ones for light coverage. thats what I think I wll be using this summer.

I would get a good oil free tinted moisturizer and brush some loose powder on top OR Giorgio Armani's Face Fabric.

Summertime is a tough one for me as well. However, I've been using MAC's MSF Natural in Medium Dark and it's been HEAVEN. IF at ANY point I feel I look too "powdery" I mist on a bit of FIX+ & I'm good to go.

I would invest in FIX+ it has been a GODSEND, throughout the YEAR!

I also recommend MAC's Mineralize Skinfinish Natural. It's perfect light-medium coverage - it works especially well with a kabuki brush. Lately i've been using a tinted moisturizer along with MSFN on top and it works wonderfully. If you need extra coverage, use a concealer underneath.

If you want more coverage, Studio Fix will be perfect for you. It has more of a matte finish whereas MSFN has more of a natural silky finish. Studio fix also works great with a kabuki. Because it contains more oil-absorbing ingredients, Studio Fix will work better for oily skin types.

you guys are awesome! i already have msf in medium-dark, so i'll go out and get some Fix+ (i returned mine) and studio fix. i'll start switching between the two and we'll see what works best for me. =]

If you like something with more coverage, try Everyday Mineral Foundation, Revlon Colorstay [so light but amazing coverage] or MUFE Matte Velvet.
