The MAC BB is a picky beast and personally I don't care for it and I am a die hard MAC supporter. The primer they used in the BB cream does cause it to feel dry but like you said it does tend to get oily if you set the BB cream which it shouldn't. I am almost positive this is due to the pigments they chose to use so they could get decent coverage within the BB cream. The only solution I have found for the MAC BB Cream is to use the Benefit Porefessional under as your moisturizer then apply and set if needed then for your oil issue use http://www.urbandecay.com/De-Slick-O...efault,pd.html which is absolutely fabulous for oil control...that has been my only workaround for the MAC BB issue but it is of course a crap ton of steps.

Another great BB Cream is Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream it has a primer moisturizer and oil control built in. It is a great one step fix
