For me, this would be a good touch up during the day for my oily skin after already using Smashbox anti-shine. For me, it wouldn't be able to control oil throughout the day alone, so I use it more...

I love this product! I use it alone or under foundation. I get oily throughout the day and this does the trick to stop oil when I blot it on.

I understand how to use this product, but if you are a very oily girl like me, blotting papers will work better for you. You want something to soak up the oil, not to put more on top of...

This is meant to be blot on, not rubbed in, just like other reviewers say. When I apply it before a social occasion, I know this product will keep me matte, and the best part is that even...

Reading all the reviews on this product (the compact version) I can't help wondering if people actually know how to use this. Here's how I apply it: under my foundation (I use my fingers, 'cause...

I've meant to review this for quite a while, since it's a favorite of mine. I was surprised to see the exceedingly low ratings! I use this every day, and it always does the trick to mattify...

When I bought this product I was given the impression that it was a blot powder that you could use over your makeup. After trying to use it in this manner I realized it just wasn't going to work...

This is the worst makeup product I have ever bought. It is like white Halloween makeup. I put some on my T-Zone and it looked like I had white makeup on, did not blend into my skin at all....

This just plain does not work. do not buy it, it's a waste of money. It crumbles and is difficult to apply on the face.

I bought this I think over a year back and have been using it only if I ran out of my regular primer. It's okay and goes on light and fresh at first. It's actually colorless, although in the tube...

This is just okay as far as anti-shine products go, it could definitely be alot better. It reduces shine, but sort of leaves a greasy feel on my skin. I apply it with my fingers instead of the...

Ok, this little compact is too cute for words. The product inside works very well. I like the ideal that you pat this gel like substance into the shine rather than swirling a powdered brush all...

This does absolutely nothing - don't waste your money on it like I did. The package is kinda cute, but that is about it. Does not control oil/shine, cannot buy replacement sponges,...

I like the compact. I think the concept is neat, but the product did nothing for me. It looked good on me for about 20 minutes. My skin is super oily and a primer just has to last longer than 20...

I'm not big on primers, but this one's a lot better than the ubiquitous silicone-laden gels I can't stand. It doesn't seem to do that much for shine or keeping my makeup in place, but it does lend...

This product is just....okay. Please note that I have not tried the anti-shine in the tube yet, so I can't compare. The packaging is small and compact. It took a couple of tries before I...

I really like this primer, I'm not sure why I didn't use it much when I first bought it! It does control oil and mattify, but for me definitely not all day, I don't think anything could do that. It...
