Decent job at pore minimizing!

I'm really enjoying this primer. I'm not a big fan of matte finishes but this isn't overly matter, I'd say it's more in between satin and matte. It's very soft and silky smooth and does a decent job of minimizing pores. A little bit goes a long way. Makeup applies well over it and doesn't pill or separate. Overall I'm happy with how it performs and I'd recommend this primer!

Fan Favorite!

I have been using this primer for years since its release and no other primer has yet strayed me from it! Its finish is mattifying, lasts me about 8 hours before any oil peeks through my makeup. It is unscented. My only gripe is the packaging makes it hard to get what is left when the product is low. But I make a way haha!

Doesn't Work on Skin with Wrinkles

I'm 77 but still have oily skin. Smashbox Photo Finish Oil and Shine Control has been wonderful over the years, but I can no longer find it. I tried Photo Finish Control Mattifying primer with Salicylic Acid and was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. It doesn't control oil AT ALL, plus it causes my makeup to gather in my wrinkles.

60 Day review

I bought this product and used it for 60 days and let me just be very honest. if you want a flawless base that won't show any shine for hours where applied, if you want a poreless look and many compliments on your base I recommend getting this in the cart ASAP!

MATTIFYING PRIMER

I just recently got this primer & instantly fell in love with it! It feels very lightweight on the skin & rubs in very easily! It's a great base if you have oily skin because it helps control your oils!

My favorite primer ever!

I've been using this primer for YEARS (back when the packaging was still light blue) and haven't found anything that compares. I have very oily skin and this primer prevents me from looking like an oil slick halfway through my day. It also doesn't feel drying or stripping on my skin and lays nicely under my makeup. I even use it on days when I'm not wearing face makeup for oil control! Even though it is on the pricier side, a little goes a long way and I will never regret spending the extra money on this primer!
