While the Careblends seem to handle shine pretty well, the addition of MAC Blot should really help keep oil under control. Oh, if you struggle with super oily skin, you might try a 50/50 blend with a Careblend and MAC Blot. Studio Careblend/Pressed Powders swatches in Lush-Light Bronze (left) and Gold-Go-Lightly (right)

I’ve worn them atop bare skin, foundation and even tinted moisturizer, and in every case they’ve done well. I just think they’re a little easier to use, useful in a wider range of situations and look more realistic.

Surf Baby does also feature two Bronzing Powders, Solar Riche and Refined Golden ($24 each) I’ve tried them and think they’re solid products, but if I had to choose one or the other, a Bronzing Powder or Careblend, I’d grab one of the Careblends in a heartbeat.
