Fave Mattifier

[kazablanca]

With my oily skin, I have tried so many brands!! :note: :

Clinique Sheer Matteness T-Zone Shine Control - My first matifier and one of the best!
Smashbox Anti-Shine - Expensive stuffs (!) but it does control oil well
Chanel T-Mat - Love the scent! And it does control oil well!
Fancl T-zone gel (Forgot the exact name ) - Doesn't work as well
Lancome T. CONTR?LE Instant T-Zone Matifier - Doesn't work for me
Decleor T-Zone Regulating Gel - doesn't work at all
Ettusais T-Zone Oil Block Gel - Only tried their sample, seems to be okay

Any other raves/rant???

I am lemming to try PTR Max Anti-Shine Mattifying Gel now, has anyone tried it yet???

I am forever searching for 'IT'! Heard so many raves for PTR one in MUA! Wanna get it!

Darphin reducing cream works pretty well for me

*start oprah winfrey song*

there is nothing! nothing! NOOOTHIIIIIIING! like my dear MAAAAC BLOT!

*end song*

not quite a mattifier, but this takes the oilies away good. real good. i also like milk of magnesia as a mattifier, and smashbox's primer.

you can forget about becca's ..

Clinique- not bad.
Chanel- it made my make up slide off.

Using Mac Blot powder now. I don't dislike it, neither would I repurchase it.

Wanna try the MOM but the bottle is so big!

Clinique's one did nothing for me. Dumped it away because i dunnoe MUA's existence then

Chanel's Sheer Illuminators works pretty well... and i really LOVE the scent ( Can they make that scent into a perfume ?!). Skin become matte after giving it a few mins to sink in.

Smashbox's one is the most effective i'd tried so far. A little sticky and therefore not very easy to smooth over the face and have to be quick-handed. But really effective !

The PTR one works really average for its price. Maybe i 'd expected more because it is so expensive! My face looks matte while using it but once i blot! Wow... actually so oily. Hahaha.. but this glides on skin pretty easily. The thing actually resembles hardened glue.

Actually, i find that Smashbox's foundation primer is really good as a mattifier too. I used that before my makeup and everything just stay nicely with no extra shine or watever.

ditto chanel's sheer illuminator!

smashbox photofinish primer mattifies as well?

[atypical]

I love the scsnt of the Chanel too! Mmmmm ....!! I think I don't need a mattifier though so I might be swapping this away ...

i *suspect* it does. Because my face makeup stays the whole day with this underneath. And i don't get those super-oily look at the end of the day.

I heard that some would use MoM(milk of magnesium) as mattifier. I'm also searching for a good mattifier to tame my hyper-active t-zone.

don't think anything will work for me.
moreover, i always have this feeling that they clog my pores.
:p

anyway, i tried Prescriptive mattifying gel (name?) before but it doesn't work because i don't see a diff.
so i swapped it away.
