description

This advanced mattifying gel is formulated with powerful oil-absorbing, pore minimizing ingredients. Absorbs on contact without stripping natural moisture. Excellent worn under face and eye makeup, or for touch-ups over makeup, or alone for a finished look without the use of makeup. This fast acting gel helps makeup stay fresher longer and creates a lasting, clear, satiny matte finish without cakiness. Eliminates unsightly breakthrough shine all day. Also ideal for a man's shiny face and scalp.

    While this isn't the most expensive mattifier on the market, for $35 I expected a bit more. First, the claims of the product: "Oil-free, fragrance-free with an advanced oil-absorbing pore...

    This is the BEST thing in my makeup box!!! It functions as a primer/mattifier/moisturizer. I have very oily skin and I break out often. I kept noticing that whatever I put on (I'm a C2 MAC Asian) I...

    This really is more of a primer than a mattifier, IMHO. The silicon in it made my skin really smooth, great for applying creme foundation. Difficult to apply, as the consistency is like a solid...

    I got a sample jar in a swap and it didn't do much as a mattifier. Granted it did mattify and made my skin velvety smooth (much like a foundation primer would), but the results only lasted for an...

    Upon first impression, this thick gel smoothes on effortlessly and I can see an immediate matte effect even over my oily skin. I noticed that it really doesn't mattify my very oily skin for any...

    This is very expensive, but it is worth the money. I bought it because of some of the reviews I read on here. It really does make your pores appear smaller and makes your skin very matte. You...

    This stuff does very little for my very oily skin. It is just as mediocre as every other mattifier I've tried. I actually really like the texture of this stuff even if it feels kind of greasy. ...

    Excellent mattifying product that doesn't make my face feel greasy or heavily layered with something. I break out easily and this is effective, light and non-clogging. It's a bit pricey, but well...

    This did absolutely nothing for my very oily skin. I didn't care for the texture of it either - too thick!
