I was also disappointed with this product. I purchased this right after it came out, so I've had it for about 2 months now and I've used it religiously before moisturizer and at night as a skin...

I was dissapointed with this, I was really hoping it would do the trick for me. I have really oily skin in certain places especially the tzone area, so I thought this would be perfect for me. But...

With my dry skin, large pores and blackheads I really need something to ensure I don't have peeling on my nose and chin. For the longest time I couldn't find a primer that wasn't over-drying. Most...

I've been using this for a month now and can give it a fair review, and I have to say that I'm so glad MAC came out with this product. For now, it's not in their permanent collection and all the...

What a disappointment! First of all, packaging is a disaster. This is liquid, almost watery and you only need a little bit each time you use it. So why would MAC put it in this kind of squeezy tube...

I would probably not buy this again. It's supposed to matte out the skin, which it does pretty well. Overtime its supposed to exfoliate skin and help minimize pores.
