I bought this to use as a primer &/or setting powder for my MMU. It has great oil control, but I'm only slightly oily, so I think it is a bit too much for my skin. It's OK as a primer, but I've...

This is actually for the "Tinted Silk Finishing Powder" as the old Silk Dust was discontinued. I actually prefer this version, because it controls oil better on my skin, but I liked the old Silk...

I bought this primarily as a primer after reading how much luck people had with sandwiching foundation between two layers of this. Well, I tried that and I did not find that my foundation lasted...

I am very surprised to see that this product has the same results as my beloved BE's Mineral Veil! It is super cheap too! The tint in this silk dust is very light it adds a glow to your face. This...

This is one of my favorite primer and finishing powders!!! At first, I thought, this lightly tinted product would leave a ghostly cast on my MMM/ light CCC... but that didn't happen. In fact, it...

It gives a great finish on top of my mineral makeup. It does a decent job of keeping my oilyness at bay. I can wait an hour longer than before to blot my nose. I prefer this over the Finishing...

This product was great for controlling oil. My face usually gets very shiny by the end of the day, and the silk dust reduced the oil by half. However, I had a very common, negative reaction to...

I have the tinted version which works well even on my PPP skin. But overall this is disappointing. This offers no oil control for me. It somehow manages to upset my SD and make me even oilier! OK...

This is essential. I originally only got it for it's amino-acids and anti-bacterial properties, but EM foundations on their own don't last that long since they have minimal ingredients, compared to...

I have combination, acne-prone skin. By itself, this powder softens the appearnance of pores, acne, and has some oil control. However, the oil control seems to dissapear whenever I apply the...

I don't think I've ever used a finishing powder that has kept shine at bay for as long as this did. I tried this one morning as I was preparing for a trip to Palm Springs. My combo-oily skin got...

Texture-wise, everyone says it is grainy. Well it is, so be prepared for that. When you tap some out, it is large particles or grains. But it doesn't feel harsh to me going on. I apply it with...

I use this on my T-zone before I use mineral makeup. I wouldn't use it as a finishing powder; it's too matte for that. I do like that it keeps my face from getting shiney by the end of the day....
