Get bare minerals powder. If you have very oily skin it will be good for you since it will absorb the oil but still give you that perfect foundation coverage.

Good Luck

I use a makeup finishing spray made by Skindivea (sp?). I buy it online at skinstore.com. It's not cheap though but works very well.

I bought that mineral powder stuff awhile ago but never used it cuz I am too impatient to mix them and find my right color. I dont trust myself with these things..

Take it back to the store you bought it form and ask them how to use it. Or go to a makeup person.

Not all brands have to be mixed by the customer. Bare Escentuals has a bunch of colour and you pick the closest one. You only have to mix it if you can't get the right shade among their selection.

The one I am talking about is spelled as Escentuals - and I really don't think they are sold at stores aside from their own, sephora, and ulta as well as some small spas.

but, you may want to try their setting powder (or another brand) on top of your foundation to absorb moisture.

I don't see how one would affect the other.

I use Prescriptives Virtual Matte foundation, and it's wonderful! I also use powder on top of the base, to set it in.
On Shabbos morning, I use Neutrogena oil blotting sheets, to soak up the sheen that I wake up with.

You're thinking of another brand... I know what you're talking about but I just can't remember the name of it right now.

Bare Minerals comes pre-mixed and it's excellent!

Just make sure you know how to use a kabbuki brush before you leave the store.

..........my brand doesnt wear off easily,,,,,, and is ok for shabbos from rb blumenkrantz.........
it can be used to "set" ur "custom blended foundation" so that it wont melt away.... or just on its own.
