    Love love love - that's all I have for this product! But before I go on, a little disclaimer: It takes a little working with, a little getting used to to get it just right. It isn't an all-over...

    So i got this after trying a few high-end primers (MAC, sephora, Laura Mercier) and I also used a cheaper one by 24.7 minerals. I have to say that this Boots one was the best out of all of them! ...

    ok this stuff IS thick and white and pasty - however! if you take just a few seconds to blend it in, lightly, like grazing your fingers over it, it absorbs and keeps oil away for a couple of...

    I really like this stuff, but I use it in addition to Smashbox Photofinish, not instead of. Because this stuff doesn't act as a good base for makeup (can make foundation look cakey) I use it only...

    I think this is my favorite mattifying cream. I've tried Shiseido Matifying Veil, Mary Kay Oil Mattifier, Origins Matte Scientist, and so on, and so on. For the money, this one seems to work the...

    I recommend using it over moisturizer and under foundation. It's very mattifying and really makes your make up last all day. Be careful to blend well otherwise makeup will cling to the primer and...

    This definitely does help control oil, but like my other mattifying primer, Smashbox Anti-Shine, it does not control oil all day, not that I expected it to. It also really mattifys the skin on...

    This was just a total waste of $10. I bought this because Paula Begoun rated it highly, and her review says it's a very good option for oily to very oily skin. I have very oily skin, and it is...

    I am really on the fence about this primer, if that's what you want to call it. This is more of a mattifier than anything else. It kept me oil free for a good 5 hours before I had to blot, and...

    I love this product! It is amazing at controlling oil. During the day I keep this product in my purse and use a small amount and pat (never rub) it on over my make-up. It takes away the shine...

    Out of all the primer/oil control products I've tried, and I have tried a ton of them, this one is in the lead as far as controlling oil. I do notice that my face takes longer than to reach that...
