This is real random, but I was thinking Specktra would be the best place to ask. I've used Kryolan's anti shine powder for about the last 3 or so years to set my foundation as it helps control my oil but I'm looking to try something else once this one I have is gone. I have a very oily T-zone area and was wondering what you ladies use powder wise to help control the demon oils.
I have two powders that I am using.
Manhattan Clearface and the other one is MAC's Studio Fix Powder plus Foundation. The Manhattan powder is the one I'm wearing everyday. I tend to use the Powder + Foundation thing when I am going out or to cover more noticable blemishes.

Studio Fix powder is great for when you need those higher coverage days. That's pretty often with me

Do these powders help with oil control? That's my main thing right now, finding a good setting powder that helps with oil.

That's true. Though I don't use it that much because I'm afraid it'll make me break out. I have got some skin problems lately (they seem to be related to a disease that broke out about one year ago and returns regularly) and I'm not sure whether the Studio fix makes it worse or not. :(

The NARS ones I mean, Personally Studio Fix is a bit heavy for me.. i use it rarely and one other option that I have heard good thing about is the recently launched Urban Decay Naked Loose powders. I havent tried that one personally but its got lots of rave!

Thank you!
You're welcome :)
And yes i think they help to prevent oily skin especially the Studio Fix because it's also quite longlasting ... however my skin is not veeeery oily i'd say i have combination skin. I have some areas that are drier than others and some that are oilier.
So it might be better if people with rather oily skin recommend their favourite powders.

I have oily skin and it helps control my oil quite a bit . I only have to do touch ups on hot days

Yes! it hasnt caused any breakouts for me too... I usually use loose powders to set my foundation or BB's. When I use studio fix, I use it standalone bec.. in conjunction with foundation I find it a bit heavy for my taste. But on no fundation days, I reach for it often!

It can be the best friend to someone like me who has rosacea! I probably wouldn't use it if I had really good skin, though.

Yep, when I use it I also just use it on it's own. With foundation it would be too much for my taste. I use my powders only without foundation, I feel like with foundation + powder my skin looks just unnatural since I've got freckles

Not yet! But thats something I have wanted to try from MAC for so long, Yay great to know that it works well. I think they have added few new shades too! I will check that one out on my next trip to store!
