    This is nothing special! I didn't notice ANY results, my foundation is the same with or without it! Plus this product is way overpriced like all Smashbox products are.

    This product kept my skin matte for a while, but made my make up disappear completely. So, while it did keep the oil at bay, I ended up with naked skin. I'm glad I only bought the half ounce travel...

    I really liked the concept of this. However, it was a tad thick and made my skin look greasy after applying my Bare Minerals makeup. I think this product is best suited for a non-mineral...

    The texture of this when you apply it to your face is like the poster below describes - melted plastic. It made my already oily t-zone a greasy mess & I never noticed any difference in foundation...

    It took me awhile to get used to this product. I happened to get this in a kit from QVC, so I didn't purchase the individual product, which is quite expensive. The artist applying it described the...
