Does this work well for very oily skin? For me, normal Colorstay makeup wipes off after 1-2 hrs, Dermablend after 4 hrs. How does this hold up?

I wouldn't say this makes your makeup last longer but it does make your face look more natural and gives a very pretty finish. I would try the urban decay all nighter setting spray if I were you! Or the deslick one which is made for oily skin!

Yes , this product doesn't leave the skin greasy. And stays for a long time too, unless you live in a place with hot days.

I have oily skin and have been using this spray for a long time now since I can't always afford the upscale sprays.It does help keep makeup on. HOWEVER, while it says it's mattifying, it's not. My skin gets just as oily, just as fast as when I don't apply it. If you can, do buy upscale setting products

I have combination skin and don't know how this product would work for very oily skin. I would suggest using a makeup primer by the same brand - it helps me.

Hey C. How are you? To be honest, I don't even waste my time using this setting spray. For me, it doesn't make a difference. I have oily skin as well. To replace the setting spray, you can use "Milk of Magnesia" (MOM). Apply it on your face or the oily areas before applying on your liquid foundation. The MOM will appear white when it's completely dry. The milk of mages

I have normal skin with occasional oily t zone. It does not leave a greasy feel. A little goes a long way. I mostly use before bed and sometimes when not in sun...have noticed fewer lines. Will be reordering.

Hello. I think this is good, it is not has a lot of oil, but if your skin is delicate, please do not use it. I bought one to my sister, she is very delicate. For her was not good but I use and for me is nice. My skin does not have any problem.

It's pretty strong. This little jar has lasted me almost a year. I only use it once a month and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. It causes a light peel over a few days which means you can't scrub your skin at all. No exfoliaters, scrubs, Clairsonic MIA's or any other harsh face brushes can be used during that time. If you want a deeper peel, 15-25 minutes would be optimal. And you need to think about investing in a good sunblock or moisturizer with sun block because the lighter, new skin will tan easily. In fact you can get hyper-pigmentation if you don't protect your skin from the sun according to my dermatologist. It's pretty strong. This little jar has lasted me almost a year.

Yes, I actually still use it goes on like ink and the brush makes it easy to apply. It just doesn't last 7 days. It can last longer if you do not wash it off with facial cleansers or make up remover pads.

Awesome for oily skin. Slight white cast, but it makes for such a good primer, foundation just glides right over it. Makes your skin like silk. Coola has a tinted version now too if the white cast is a problem, ( I just got a sample from birchbox.Com and I LOVE it ) or just mix some foundation in if you're in a hurry! :)

It does a better job than straight makeup. After I've applied sometimes I take a makeup sponge around my eyes and blot and it blends. It really helps with dark spots. The concealer reqires a couple of drops and erases dark spots. I love this product. You can't buy without signing up for auto delivery. Just buy it and two days later cancel auto delivery. I didn't need more makeup for 3 or 4 months.

I bought this on a whim at Walgreens about 3 weeks ago. I have used it every day to every other day just a light mist. I have fair skin tone and I have had great results with this. If you follow the directions you will not get blotchy. You have to scrub your skin exfoliate before you use it. I use a scrub from b&bw; and I also have a shower brush that I go over my skin with every day. I achieved the color I am looking for on my legs already so now I just spray them once every 2-3 days to keep it up. I did my legs first as a test. I just started my arms and my neck and chest 4 days ago and I am very happy with it. I bought this on a whim at Walgreens about 3 weeks ago.

I haven't used it for too long but it does have a good consistency & hopefully it starts working immediately. Like i've said, i'm not a huge fan since it made my face break out so i stopped using it. Good luck

Hello! I use it to remove my eye makeup. I have used it on my face, but prefer a different face cream. It has a very nice consistency, but I think it would be an individual preference. It isn't greasy and absorbs quickly. I hope it works for you:)

Well what I do is that I use it as a cleanser and moisturizer. It's perfect for taking makeup off (and does it quite easily too). Then I wash it off and put it on a second time as a leave-in moisturizer. A little of this product goes a long way so there's plenty to go around. My skins as smooth as a baby's :)

It doesn't magically disappear after application, but I wouldn't call it particularly greasy or oily, certainly less so than most bug repellents or sunscreens. The wipes are little folded perforated towlettes (think "moist towlette") and the repellent they're soaked with is completely clear and basically "watery" more than "oily", though there may be a very lightly oily feel during or after application. I just brush the wipe lightly across the area I'm applying it to (especially when the wipe is first opened and is 'fully loaded', wiping firmly might apply more than you want), then rub lightly to even out and spread the application. After I've applied some and the wipe is no longer fully loaded, I can then use the wipe more directly on the skin as an applicator. The stuff is pretty strong.... after all, it's trying to compete with the most toxic bug stuff out there, and does pretty well in that competition. If you read the instructions, it says to go light on delicate skin like ears, etc. On the absolute worst Alaska bug days (a full week in the boreal forests of central Alaska), my ears would start to notice if I reapplied for a third time late in the day. The delicate skin would start to have a burning feel, as if to say "enough already with that stuff". A neat trick is to put a little on the skin, but way more on a bandana tied around the neck, which both keeps bugs off by being there as a cloth barier, but also by carrying a lot of repellent, it provides some protection of the face and ears and back of neck without having to have so much of it on the skin. Ok I'm rambling now. Time for bed.

I have a combination of dry/oily skin. This mineral makeup is fine as long as you moisturize before applying it. I haven't had any issues with it yet! :) Hope this helps!

I've always used this product on my face. I have oily, acne-prone skin and using this product has not caused flare-ups. I would recommend using a light hand when applying it to your face and making sure to moisturize any dry areas because it will make that area darker than the surrounding areas. I would also recommend applying this before you go to bed and washing it off in the morning. The guide color is very dark and can look a little unnatural on the face. Also, make sure to not apply foundation or concealer over the guide, as this may cause the tanner to appear streaky or spotty.

Yes! I have extremely oily skin and my makeup would always run off halfway through the day before I started using this as a primer. Now it lasts all day.

I love it as a lip gloss, but I think it is too greasy as a blush. You could try it though if you want to.
