Answer
Based on the ingredients you've listed, it is possible to create a product with properties suitable for a long-lasting, oil-controlling base. Ingredients like Silica (BB Micro Silk), PMMA (SelectSorb), Trimethylsiloxysilicate, and Isododecane contribute to oil absorption, mattifying effect, and long wear.
However, your list does not include colored pigments (such as iron oxides or titanium dioxide in skin tones) which are essential for a typical foundation to provide coverage and match skin tone. Without these, the product would likely function more as a mattifying, long-wear primer or a very sheer base with SPF (from Zinc Oxide).
Regarding the mixing method, formulating a stable foundation or base product involving powders and potentially a complex emulsion system (like water-in-oil, suggested by Polyglyceryl-2 isostearate and Disteardimonium Hectorite) is a complex process. It requires precise percentages of each ingredient, specific mixing procedures, and often specialized equipment (like a high-shear mixer) to ensure proper dispersion of powders and emulsion stability. Providing a simple "how-to-mix" guide without a complete, tested formula is not possible.
These ingredients are suitable components for developing such a product, but the actual formulation process is crucial for achieving the desired stability, texture, and performance.
