Karen -- re: HD finishing powder

Hi Karen,

I'm trying desparately to hold off buying MUFE's HD finishing powder, because I'd rather buy it here! I know we already asked u, but any thoughts on when you may bring one to us???

All I know is that it is definitely on the list with a hope that it is out this year. In her formulating, some products meet her approval on the first few tries, while others take some time to perfect. Hopefully, she will be able to give us a little more info!! I am looking forward to this one, too.

I was actually on the verge of asking if SN wants to do something like this...! Can I chip in and ask for a version that works for dry skin? I just tried a sample from Aromaleigh yesterday -- and dismayed to discover that it's just pure silica powder with a fancy name -- and it overdried my skin and made me itchy from the dryness. It'd be great if Karen can come up with a version that doesn't.

I almost ordered Aromaleigh's liquid glosses (on 50%-off sale) when I noticed that they have parabens... yucks! Those things always get my lips peeling. So kudos again to Karen for making makeup safe enough to eat!

So I've been experimenting on the HD-type powder. Are you looking for the finish or for the oil control- or is it both?

I would be looking for more finish than oil control. I want something to blur imperfections and give that HD type finish. I can only speak for myself though, others may like oil control as well.

Thanks Karen!

I second that - would much prefer finish over oil control (but that's just me, my skin is normal).

OIL CONTROOOOLLLL!!!!

Sorry for that, but my skin is insanely oily and the first thing that made me perk up for the HD powder was the oil control factor. The finish is a wonderful plus. But please please, if you can maybe release two? Oily skin and normal? Or a primer and a finisher?

I want finish, not oil control! I'm past the age where oil control is an issue, but imperfections are, so finish is much more important to me.
