Urban Decay De-Slick Mattifying Powder
Great for oily skin!
This product is literally a life-saver! I first discovered it quite a few months back when I was at my local Sephora store. I apply a little bit of it to the places I get the most oil at. If you pile it on, it might make your face appear to have a white tint to it (depending on the amount you put). The good thing about this product is that it doesn't add more color to the foundation you already have on, because if you add more color your skin can appear orange. This is a good thing to have, especially if you have very oily skin.
It helps my foundation stay on longer and keeps me matte, depending on the weather and temperature. When it's not too humid or hot outside, my skin is shine free for 5-6 hours, which is amazing because my face tends to be quite oily and it normally takes and hour or 2 before a matte liquid foundation begins to look dewy on me (but not the pretty kind of dewy).
During the winter this product is great; it controls my oil and I don't need to keep reapplying. But during those hot summer days I do get more oily and shiny which it still works well, I just need to bring this along with me and reapply.
this is no good in my book!
ok so i was given 2 of these for free, and i hate them. they dont do anything at all, it is a bit chalky, not sheer at all. i still have it and its hardly used.
This does mattify the face however I do feel like it sometimes makes my face have a white powder tint to it. But I really do like this product as a quick way to fix shine on my T zone. It doesn't last as long as I would hope it would, so this is a product I definitely carry with me in my purse when I go out. I actually prefer the liquid/gel version of this product more than the powder.
Works really well and it truly mattifies the face. I've tried it with makeup and without makeup and works well in either scenario, but it's probably best to apply it (if you're going to do it at all with foundation on) right after applying foundation, otherwise it can kind of be a cakey mess if you apply too much.
Ok, I didn't use this myself, but I have seen its magic at work. My friend has really really oily skin, she complains about it all the time and she is constantly using oil blotting papers. I saw this in a magazine and we went to Ulta to try it out. Mother of all that is holy, it's amazing. She put it on her face and it was just this perfectly matte finish. She bought it and loves it still.
Useful. Oil control magic.
I have really oily skin and use it without make-up, just moisturizer and it works wonderfully! I use a brush to apply it since the powder is white, and it helps make it more translucent.

Good control, but very soft
the powder worked very well in getting rid of my shine without looking powdery or making me look pale. It was great to just toss in my bag and carry with me, and I didn't mind pulling it out to use it because the packaging is just gorgeous....I think I might save it as a mirror when it's done :) my one complaint though is that the powder is very soft. I have gotten quick a few knocks out of the powder and had chuncks fall out...so...considering the high price tag, I was not impressed about that

Controls Oil Well!
I have very oily skin and I use this powder sometimes to set my foundation and to touch up throughout the day. Even though most types of white translucent powders claim to be invisible on all skin tones, every one I have tried still leaves a slightly white residue on my skin, this one included. However, I think it is still worth a try because of its ability to soak up oil when blotted into the skin. In order to minimize the white coloring, I apply my liquid foundation, concealer, the De-Slick powder, AND THEN my blush and bronzer to add some color back into my face.
this helps my foundation last longer
