I personally don't like the wear of MSF's on oily skin, I love it when I apply it and 2 hours later WHAM, I look greasy and yucky and sticky. I've been considering using it with a mattifying makeup base, but it doesn't seem like something I would use on a regular basis.
I've been using Chanel - Le Poudre Universel Libre in #20 Clair and I'm loving it, and use the compact for touch ups during the day. It doesn't dry up my skin nor does it make it react when exposed to agressive environments like air conditioning and so on and so forth.
The downfall with Chanel is that it doesn't have a great color selection.

MSF Naturals? is it similar to Studio Fix? cause it disappears throughout the day on me, and doesn't look good when I try to reapply it.... acturally, it doesn't disappear fully, part of it disappears and other parts have little powder gather.... I don't know how to explain it, it's weird...
I'm trying to get more brands so I know which to try out at a counter... the words "shine control" sounds really good for the oily skin me... |
Studio Fix is a compact powder foundation with a matte finish, Mineralize Skinfinish Powders are more luminous and they're baked rather than your regular pressed powder. MSF Naturals are buildable and they can go on very sheer or provide a more medium coverage.
The parte where it disappears is probably the oilier zones in your face, you might considering applying a matifying base on those areas to keep them less oily, although I wouldn't recommend doing it on a daily basis.
The part where the powder "gathers" might be a more dry or normal area of your face that gets too dry because of the powder. If that is the case, I would stay away from powders like MAC's Blot Powder (in pressed form, I haven't tried the loose powder) because it might be overdrying your more sensitive areas. So, a matifying gel might be the solution on your problem areas, some of which can even be applied over makeup.
Sometimes, just because we have oily skin doesn't mean it's not sensitive or reactive (my case) and that really narrows down product
