Oily skin? NOT ANYMORE!
Why have I not discovered this sooner?! I honestly never thought a product like this would deliver and it has! I reside on the coast with very high humidity. Usually I would blot my face with a tissue a few times but now I only blot at my hairline. My face remains matte even after 12 hrs of wear. I typically use high end make-up but when my face gets oily it completely ruins the look. I'm happy to say that's a problem of the past. How this is not rated 5 stars by others baffles me. This pairs well with NYX Marsh mellow primer to blur pores then apply the shine killer sparingly. I have mature skin, 49 yrs old with small to medium-sized pores.

One of my faves!
This primer I must have. I try to keep 3 containers 😂 no lie because I don’t want to run out. I’m super oily & it controls the oil under my makeup for up to 9 hours and no other oil control primer does that. Here’s how ya do it best: wash or use a face scrub to cleanse & remove oils first, apply two thins layers of the NYX charcoal primer (only one on the nose), let it set fit 3 minutes then enjoy applying all the makeup in your routine. I’m oily so I stick with MAC & I get that perfect photo finish WITHOUT looking ashy & my skin is light brown with gold undertones. Good news-you can totally wear this alone! Bad news-don’t put it on your forehead as it may break you out if you’re oily up there. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT

Great product
Bought this in place of a liquid foundation. Works really great as a base coat with applying only a powder base.

Makes my face feel like baby skin!
I love how this makes my skin feel. I bought it to wear over my Vitamin C serum. It mattifies my skin so that my hair doesn’t stick to my face. My face felt like baby skin after applying it. I will definitely be buying this again!

Not bad. Not great.
I definitely would not call this shine killer. It initially minimizes shine upon application, but I don't find that it controls shine throughout the day. It does have a very lightweight, silky feel and has a good price point. And it does not seem to break me out which is a plus.

My favorite primer. Goes on smoothly. A little bit goes a long way. Makes makeup application so much smoother.

It really works
I am very shiny in my t zone and I’m constantly rubbing the excess oil out throughout the day. I apply this (you don’t need much) to my t zone and than apply foundation. It is a black liquid and absorbs quickly. It feels kinda oily at first and I worried about it leaving a black tint. Not to worry it dries quickly and my foundation easily goes over it. It drastically reduced the oily residue on my skin during the day. The container is small but a little goes a LONG way.

Wow, shockingly bad. Makes you MORE oily, impossible to blend makeup, makeup slips off
I have very dehydrated oily skin. I thought this product would be perfect after all my moisturizing steps (which have always worked well if not great with other primers I've used), but this was awful. It goes on SUPER smooth. I was actually really surprised how smooth it went on & was excited. I looked up the directions & saw where it said to let it sit for a few minutes before applying your makeup. I waited 3 minutes.. still very oily & slippy (almost wet). Waited 5 minutes.. same thing. Waited another 10 & yup, you guess it.. the same. I gave up & applied my Dr. Jarts Cicapair treatment which is what I wear on days I'm not doing tinted moisturizer or foundation & it would NOT blend in. It took me 3 times as long to get it blended in than normal & it still didn't even really go into the skin. This product is not joking when it says it creates a barrier between your skin.. nothing gets through it.. even your makeup! After blending forever, I went & checked it in other lighting & it was even worse than I feared. The Dr. Jarts treatment (which is thick & green, but changes to your skin color as you apply it) was sliding off. When I lightly touched my face all the product came off. My face feels wet & is even oiler than it already is. It feels like I have a film on my face.
