Hi,

I was wondering what brand of mineral makeup all you ladies feel has the best oil absorbency. I have tried EDM, Silk Naturals Date Bait, Ocean Mist and some others I can't think of right now and still have a shiny nose around noon. I apply my makeup in the morning around 6:00 a.m. I am just oily in the T-zone, the rest of my face is normal. I've even tried applying the silk dust as a primer after my moisturizer. I am using an oil-free moisturizer - do you all think I should not moisturize my T-zone at all. Does anyone else have this problem and if so, what have you found that works?

TIA,

Cin

What about a primer like monistat or a primer that made to go under mineral makeup. That stuff makes a big difference for me and I'm sure it does for alot of others too.


Monistat Anti-Chafing Gel as a Foundation Primer...

Maybe carry blotting sheets with you. Or you can buy blushes you can fill with finishing powder so you can touch up during the day.

Maybe you should not use any moisturizer in your nose.
Or you can try Alima, I live in Taiwan, the weather here is high temperature and high humidity , however, it keeps may face shineless.

Thanks everyone for all of your suggestions. I did try the CVS brand of Monistat and didn't find any difference, using it or not. I also havie some blotting sheets, but was trying to find something where I wouldn't have to use anything.

Smile, are you talking about all Alima makeup or something specific from them that you use?

Thanks again everyone,

Cindy

I mean their satin matte foundation.
In fact, it really dries out my face if I don't use more oily product before make up.

what is a finishing powder?

i say give cory cosmetics a try. her foundation doesn't budge on me even when i blow my nose a lot. also, do not be afraid of oil. oils like jojoba oil can be used to control oil production on the face. you should google this up.

EDM is bringing out a Starting Powder with Kaolin in it which should be good - I haven't tried it yet though.
