So far this matte primer is the only one that has worked for me (to some extent) and I have literally tried almost every single one! I like that they have the mini version as it is quite expensive and I use it quite frequently. I would say it’s not a primer for the full face as it does cause makeup application to be hard to blend. I use it for my forehead and nose because I don’t put any makeup on my forehead and nose. Those are also my oiler parts.

Was not good, used 2 times. Made my face really dry and makeup application VERY blotchy

My very first time trying this, I applied it at 6 am and removed my makeup by 10 pm. My t-zone area was in tact!! I had lightly blotted my nose with my finger maybe twice throughout the day, but forehead and chin were still looking pretty good. I first applied a moisturizer and SPF before going in with this primer. The smallest amount will do, this is not like the MUFE pore minimizer which goes on super smoothly. As soon as you press the primer to your skin, quickly spread it to cover the areas that get most oily (t-zone), otherwise it'll be difficult to get an even, nice layer. I did the nose first, then the forehead and lastly the chin. I did feel like those areas felt tight and dry after applying my make up, but I used the Mario setting spray to give some hydration back to the skin. Next time, I'll try the pore minimizer primer on top of the shine control to make the makeup look a little "less" dry and more smooth. I also want to try pairing it with the Urban Decay matte setting spray to see just how much more oil control I can achieve!

I've used many mattifying primers (Fenty - old one and new one, Danessa Myricks - both, Milk, Smashbox, etc.) and I keep coming back to this one! It works with my skincare and foundations - never pills. Keeps me matte alll day.

If you don't have oily skin, it may not flow over your skin. It works WONDERS for me and my oily skin!

Didn’t like the product from the first time I used it.

made me skin break out super badly from drying out my skin to the point it is peeling.

This keep me matte! I use this primer with the makeup forever HD foundation. But I noticed if i rub the primer too much into my skins it creates this week texture and ends up on my hands.

I use this with the Make up For Ever HD Skin Waterproof Natural Matte Foundation. If you are a sweaty person, this primer and the matte foundation has been a game changer in my makeup routine. My makeup last all night long!

After fully using this product it left me confused. I would apply after my moisturizer and it would leave some spots on my skin with a white spot. Super weird but once I fixed it I had no other issues with this product. Do with that as you will!
