I find Powdering with a puff (rolling motion) and brushing off excess gets rid of the dewy finish

matte finish?   Simire is spot on here... when brushing off excess be certain to stroke in the direction of facial hair growth (away from the median sagittal plane i.e. center-line) lest you lift the strands... you want them to lay flat as possible...

that said, for a matte finish I prefer to airbrush with an aqueous base product... my favs are TEMPTU Aqua and OCC

I use both and they are superb, nearly indistinguishable in quality and ease of use... While I have used traditional cream base foundation product for years (silicone based Cinema Secrets is but one), cream based product can not come close to the velvety soft & light matte finish of aqueous base airbrush product (in my humble estimation).

I still don't feel confident enough to airbrush brides. But, I have heard that  I can use the airbrush formula ( I have OCC) with a damp beauty blender. I may experiment with that first.

If not I'm going to try to mix CS with a matte primer and see how that works.

Thanks for the advice everyone!

And how do you apply it? Would a damp Beauty Blender help?

I haven't tried this...but I'm going to experiment with this technique. Thank you!

It breaks down beautifully with the MUFE All Mat or Kryolan Perfect Matt. The Kryolan and MUFE are essentially the same formula except...

MUFE 1.0 oz $47.00 USD
Kryolan 1.4 oz  $25.99 USD

Oooh I must try the Kryolan in that case, thank you!

Is Kryolan Perfect Matt also good with RCMA?

I went to purchase the Cover FX that you recommended, but it looks like they have stopped making that formula. Or renamed it? I couldn't find it.

BTW, I love you! Thank you for all of your priceless advice!
