I think you will get better feedback on this question asking elsewhere. I would ask on a more general makeup forum and ask how well it works with mineral makeup. A good portion of those who use natural based makeup would not likely use Model in a Bottle daily (due to ingredients), but it still might have its uses.

The ingredients look like they're similar to hairspray...although probably in a more skin friendly formula (I haven't tried it). I'd say you might be better off going a skin care route to solve the issue. Something like Green Tea & Aloe or Oil Control Serum might be good choices- and then blotting and reapplying finishing powder during the day. If I recall correctly you're in South America??? I have dry skin, and I still have to blot and apply a bit more finishing powder on really hot days (it gets very hot and humid here in the summer).

Yes, I'm in South America.
I work at home, so don't use makeup all days, mostly weekends. Last weekend I was wearing sunglasses (I have sensitive eyes) and when I took it off and my nose foundation was in the glasses.

That's the reason I need something to fix my makeup at least to use on the hottest days.

Is the Green Tea & Aloe serum a good hydrating to use alone or which of your moisturizer is best to oily skin?

I haven't tried Green Tea & Aloe as a serum on my face, but a drop of this on each eyelid under primer helps a lot. I have verrrry oily lids.
My skin is very oily too, so I use a silicone primer under my foundation and a setting powder on top of foundation (silica or powders with silica work best for me)
I thought about Model in a Bottle, but it didn't get great reviews on Makeup Alley so I skipped it.
As far as Silk Naturals serums go, women on another website are raving about the Vitamin C serum to control oily skin so I started using it this week!

I guess the best is buy a couple of samples. For Model in a Bottle reviews check YouTube.
