I think this is a pretty good product so I am surprised at the reviews. I apply just a little bit under my foundation and it successfully keeps my face from looking oily. It goes on translucent on...

I did not think that it controlled oil, and the colour is waaaay too light for my t-zone (and I am very pale!) I'm sticking with the Tinted Silk Dust and Finishing Powder!

I got this product from a girl who sold it over one of the forums.Since the price was low, I bought it from her. Sure, it did control the oiliness in my tzone but i guess it is too white for me....

It's not a bad product, but it does make the mineral makeup much more mask-like. It goes on pretty heavy.

I have used the silk dust, finishing powder, and this balancing powder. I do think the balancing powder does a better job at controlling the oil on my skin, but I still do have to blot by lunch...

I am a huge fan of EM - and I was excited when I saw the Balancing Powder for oilier skin. I was disappointed when I received it. First - it is way too white, even for me, and I'm ghostly pale. I...

I haven't used this on top of my foundation, as I find EM regular Finishing Dust works best for that, however, as a primer it's fantastic! Pores disappear and oil is kept at bay for HOURS (I used...

I use the Finishing Dust and love it so I thought I'd try the Balancing Dust when it came out. This does control oil well. However, by mid-day my forehead had an oil+powder mixture look to it,...

What a wonderful product! It leaves me shine free throughout the day without drying my skin (which is what I was worried about). It has a white powder though so I suggest using it in moderation. I...
