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.

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 is the 2nd time I've bought NYX Shine Killer primer. I bought once someplace else. I bought it a 2nd time with hopes it may work better if I apply more under my makeup. I have VERY oily skin and have yet to find a product that helps eliminate the shine coming through my makeup application. This does help, but I still have some oil coming through after a few hours. Maybe there's nothing out there that's truly for oily skin. The primer is a charcoal black color but it blends when rubbing it on. It's very lightweight and you don't even feel it on your face. (I prefer that in my primers). Although I think it's a bit costly for the size of the tube and the amount you get. I know NYX has a face glue primer. Not sure how well it works for oily skin but I may try it out too. Overall this is a good product and may work best for people with slightly oily skin.

Nice it's o k it works

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! Helps with my super oily skin.

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.
