this is the finishing powder EDM recommends for oily skin.  While it does a good job of controlling oil IMO, it does not control shine at all.

Everday Minerals' Finishing Dust is supposed to be a translucent mineral veil that helps your makeup last longer and absorb oil.� I do agree that it is translucent, I can't even see it on my skin after I apply it!� However, I don't think it really helps to make my makeup last or to keep my skin matte, but I do have very oily skin so most products that claim to be matte and shine-free really don't last long on me.� So it's hard for me to tell how well this finishing dust works -- maybe it works well for more normal skin, but I'm not sure if it's doing much for me.� I also don't think this helps prevent rub-off, I've noticed that my EDM foundation and finishing dust rubs off much easier than my previous liquid foundations when I touch my face or press my blotting sheets too hard.

 

However, it is nice that it is translucent and an affordable price -- my previous powder was 3 times the price and not the right color for my skin even though it claimed to be translucent!� So I will probably continue to use this, at least for now.

 

UPDATE: I've decided that the Finishing Dust really isn't doing anything for me.� It doesn't control oil and it doesn't prevent rub off.� Plus, I've noticed that even though it's very silky and finely milled, the powder doesn't blend into my skin well -- you can see the grains of powder just sitting on my skin after I apply it with my regular powder brush, and I've never had that problem with other loose powders.� Since I am less than thrilled with their foundations also, I am looking into other brands of mineral makeup now.
