    I am on the fence with this. Yes, It IS a good product. It does control oil and fill in lines and bumpy acne scars. BUT (and this is a big but) it leaves such a white cast on my skin I can't wear...

    I found this product to be good for brightening- especially under the eyes. It does help control shine a little better than if I had gone without. Overall, I did not like the way my makeup looked -...

    this product (longer than others but still not forever) keeps me looking oil-free!! yes, it has a slight whitish tinge to it on account of the zinc oxide, and yet i find my JI minerals go on much...

    I bought this after reading the reviews here on MUA. I have *very* oily skin on my forehead, nose, cheeks and chin. I found Absence helped w/ the "shinies" a bit. It's been 2 1/2 hrs since I...

    <p>This primer gives my skin a soft, matte look. I apply it all over (except for my eye area) and was concerned that it would be too drying for my thirty-five year old, combination skin, but it...

    Although it did make my pores appear less noticeable, this primer is NOT made for darker mmm-ggg ladies. It leaves a chalky residue & makes your foundation look awful. But, if you are lighter...

    I don't think this product is for those that prefer using a brush to apply makeup. I may be applying Absence incorrectly, but it gave me less control when applying makeup on top, and gave the...

    Have been using this with my MMU Mineral foundation and am really pleased with it...might be HG potential? My oilies are really kept at bay..Hasnt caused my skin to break out either.
