Q. Powder to add extra coverage and set foundation for oily skin?
I am looking for a tinted powder to add more coverage over my foundation.  I now use MUFE HD powder to set my foundation, but I want something with more coverage.  I need one that will add a little more coverage over my foundation to make my skin look flawless and also will help control my extremely oily skin? Any suggestions?

A. I agree: Clique's Stay Matte will add coverage, even in its Translucent shade.  Just be careful to make sure it doesn't oxidize to a bronze on you! see post

Q. Have you tried SK-II?
I've seen SK-II mentioned again and again in interviews with celebrities (Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, some models and stuff) and it's carried in Sephora, so it's kind of within reach. I was wondering has anyone tried it? which product and is it good for oily skin?   I've brought stuff for my mom, but the main complaint was it's too creamy/thick since she have 100% oily skin. I think La Mer's gonna be a bit too thick, and I was eyeing the SK-II Essence for change of season/especially tiring days (but no pimples or oily mess allowed).

Q. What is the best face moisturizer for my flaky, yet oily skin?
My face is pretty dry right after I wash it in the morning.  I use the CVS brand of Cetaphil as my dermatologist suggested that when I told him how my face gets very red and splotchy.  Not long after I use that moisturizer/lotion, my skin becomes oily and flaky especially in between my eyebrows and on my forehead.   Can anyone suggest for me a decent priced product that I could use that would help moisturize my skin without causing flakes and oil?   Thanks!

Q. Oily skin - need a good moisturizer
I have very oily skin and am looking for a good moisturizer. I want something that is not greasy and does not make my skin oily. Something that my skin can absorb and not just sit on the surface. My skin also tends to flake which makes everything even worse and I have mild acne. I have tried Philosophy, Clinique, Murad, Proactiv, etc. Please help!

Q. Good foundation for oily skin?
I have oily skin and use my mom's bare minerals foundation and find that at the end of the day, especially on school days, the makeup looks splotchy, like it sort of melted in places, patchy, and clumpy, especially on my chin and I'm not sure why this is happening is it the makeup or the oiliness?   If I put on less powder would it not look as patchy? Should I use a primer? Any good ones to suggest? Does anyone know why this happens?   I'm new with this makeup thing so I really need some advice!

Q. DDF vs PTR
looks like DDF discontinued its sulfur mask (I can't find it here or on their site) and Peter Thomas Roth has an identical mask ... I've been using DDF mask for years and really like it.

Q. Mask for oily and acne prone skin
I have very oily acne prone skin and blackheads.I'm looking for a mask. I try to stay with products that are as natural as possible.(but I'm willing to venture out as long as it works) I've tried the Boscia mask but it was a real hassle and it didn't seem to do much and I recently brought the Ole Henriksen Power Peel two treatment pack. Has anyone used that? Results? Any sugguestions? I don't really have a price range just looking for a good product.

Q. A Gentle Morning Cleanser?
Hi hi!!   I am looking for a good, gentle morning cleanser.  I was using Boscia's Soothing Cleansing Cream, but Sephora has discontinued carrying it, and I am looking for a good alternative.   I have 30-something skin.   At night, I use my Clarisonic with Murad's AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser.  I use Boscia's Balancing Facial Tonic and Boscia's Oil-Free Nighttime Hydration.  Two to three nights a week I also use Philosophy's When Hope Is Not Enough (Vitamin C) and Philosophy's Help Me (Retinol).  Once a week, I use Kate Somerville's ExfoliKate.   In the morning, I was using Boscia's Soothing Cleansing Cream without my Clarisonic, Boscia's Balancing Facial Tonic and Boscia's Oil-Free Day Hydration SPF15.  Then my makeup routine as normal.   So, any suggestions to replace the Boscia Soothing Cleansing Cream?  I know I can buy it off Bosica's website, but I would prefer to make my purchases from Sephora.   Thanks!!!
