Promising review: "I've finally discovered the perfect solution for my oily skin! Despite using mattifying primers, translucent powders, and setting sprays, my skin would produce oil just an hour after makeup. But with this, four hours later and my face remains completely matte! I used it as my foundation, and it's perfection. You can build the coverage for either a natural look or a full glam. " —Songstress81
