Well, the duo matte powder gets better reviews than the matte velvet :-) I am not against liquid if it works. I just think color matching powder is easier too.
I have oily skin, but more of combo skin i n the winter. If i don't use my pretika almost daily my skin gets flakey.
My skin broke out with exfolikate. I really wanted to love it
good reason. Maybe consider a sample of NARS sheer glow. Worked for me during my oily skin (pre-accutane) but winter combo time. That powder does sound great though!
Have you considered face oils? I know how scary this is with acne skin but it really helped for me. Especially for more radiance.
