I tried this and have had pretty good luck with it. I find that if I put this on and let it set for a few minutes before applying my foundation that it works better. This is great for oily skin...

Full of parabens which are bad for your skin. Very expensive for a very small bottle. Doesn't control oil, but instead creates whiteheads. Not the product for me!

I've never been a fan of Smashbox, probably due to the fact that their products seem overpriced and lackluster. And this is the most worthless of them all in my opinion. I have very oily skin, and...

Like many others here I have a Love-Hate relation to this product. When I got it I had so high hopes for it, Paula Begoun was recommeding it in her book. The first thing I noticed was how thick...

Ok, I bought this product a year ago. At the time, I didn't really know how to apply it. I applied a decent amount (a quarter size) all over my face and left to go shopping. So imagine not knowing...

WOW! This product kept my shine at bay and I'm hooked. I'm in love with this product! I bought this anti-shine from Sephora for $27, the price was a little steep, but it's worth the price! I...

I have this in the tinted version. This doesn't eliminate shine all day, but it definitely reduces it. A little goes a long way and you have to work quickly to avoid it rolling up into little...

OMG. Finally! This product is a godsend, TOTALLY my HG. For some reason, I tend to get really oily around my nose, on my chin, and on my forehead. It's been really noticeable lately, and I just...

ALL that can be said is, Thank Heavens for this product. I prefer the neutral, because the light does NOT work on my dark skin. I have the oiliest T-zone known to man, and this product has saved...

This actually does make my face fully matte, once I figured out how to use it, which was unfortunately the bottom of the tube. It works much much better applied with a sponge or probably a stiff...

Great for not really controling shine, but reducing it little bit. It makes your face a bit less oily but the oil still manages to come through for me. I will be trying the alcone beauty...

Great mattifier! I have it in the "Light" shade and I use it on a bare face only on my nose and chin. It lasts on the face a long time and since you only need a dab of it, it lasts in the tube a...
