Best powder for oily skin, how to get rid of age spots and eyebrow recommendation

Can anyone suggest a really good powder to keep my oily skin matt but not cakey for longer than 5 minutes?

I’ve also got some (I think) sun induced dark spots around my jaw, what would be best to help fade them?

And a tip from me in return - Urban Decay’s new Brow Blade. Someone actually asked today if I’d had my brows microbladed so I think it’s a hit.

My skin gets oily quick too. I tried Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray after recommendations on here and it is fab. You can buy a smaller spray for £10 to try before investing in the bigger one. Well worth it imo.

Re sun spots, have you ever tried Retin A? Search for threads on here about it, lots of people rave about it for anti ageing (not just acne).

I currently really rate Benefit Dr Feelgood powder.....only one that has worked on my oily skin so far and doesn’t look cakey.

I like the UD setting spray too - as above the all nighter is the best one but it does bring me out in spots.

Try Dr Hauschka Normalizing Oil instead of powder.

Soap & Glory Heck of a Blot powder is great on my oily, shiny skin. Better than the Mac blot powder I used to use.

You should be wearing sunscreen daily too, this will protect the skin and prevent age spots from darkening as well. A good powder is by Innisfree (a Korean brand but available on Ebay/ Amazon). It's very finely milled and gives a matte but not flat finish

I have oily skin and I've found the best loose powder for me is La Prairie. It comes in a huge pot (with an extra travel size pot too) so actually works at surprisingly good value.

For pressed powder, I use Shiseido Pureness.

Urban Decay's All Nighter does nothing for me. Tried it years ago and it was a waste of money. I was so disappointed.
