NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUPShine Killer Mattifying Primer, Vegan Face Primer

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.

Nice it's o k it works

This product works well. I still have a little shine on my forehead after a couple of hours but it’s still much better than it would be without it. Great for the price!

My favorite primer! Helps with my super oily skin.

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.

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

This product definitely works. I’m the girl that shines in every picture. And not in a good way. This makes my skin look matte but not ashy and dry. I’ll check back in the summer. But for now it works

I had purchased this before when it was just a clear gel. I assumed because it said ‘clear’ it still was. I did not realize it was ‘infused’ with charcoal. The texture is very different, a thick paste that is very dark and feels like clay. Trying to rub it in was difficult; it left a grey cast to my skin until I vigorously rubbed it in, leaving my skin aggravated. The edges around my nose still had a very visible grey look until I removed it with a tissue. I covered it with powder and thought if it keeps my oily skin from going shiny, I’d deal with it. Within several hours, my forehead, cheeks, my whole T-zone were shiny. I’ll stick to oil controlling foundation over this. What a bummer.
