5.0 out of 5 stars It works! Takes a lot of product, but it works!

This is awesome and it does work. I suspect I'll be buying it for the rest of my life. For it to really work, I have to apply a thick layer around my nostrils and smile lines (I have really oily skin). At first I tried a lighter touch while applying, but I didn't see a difference on my shiny nose as the day went on. But when I tried a thicker layer, halfway through the day I checked myself out in the mirror and said, "OOH!!" My foundation was matte and flawless.

I actually bought Urban Decay All Nighter spray too, hoping it would do the same thing (keep my face matte/less oily all day), and for me it does nothing (very disappointing since so many online reviewers swear by it), but Mary Kay's Mattifier WORKS. I haven't tried the Mattifier and UD All Nighter together yet. I'm hoping it will be the holy grail of oil prevention!

It only lasted maybe two hours before I was blotting my fact with a VIVA paper towel. Maybe I'll find some other miracle out there.

After trying  Dr. Brandt Skincare pores no more(R) anti-aging mattifying lotion 1.7-Ounces  only to discover that it made my face even oilier, I decided to try the Mary Kay Oil Mattifier again. I couldn't find it after going through every possible place it could be, I gave up and ordered another from Amazon. I have used it again somewhat successfully - two hours - and that's GREAT for me. I just have to remember to keep blotting with my VIVA paper towels. I'm not going to spend any more money on oil mattifiers. I use witch hazel every day to help shrink the pores after cleansing with my $200 Clarisonic Skin Care System. I may try white vinegar. I have discovered from Web MD that another user uses it to cleanse ears with Q-tips. I've tried that and it works, so why not try it on my face.

I have combination skin that is no fun at all. It's embarrassing how oily my forehead, nose, and chin get after a couple hours. But with this I'm still looking good after several hours. I put on all my skin care products and sunblock, wait till my skins compleatly dry, than take a pea sized amount and gently pat it into my oily zones until the skin under my fingers feels dry again. Than I wait 10 min minimum before I begin applying makeup. Takes a bit of time but so worth it

After reading the reviews and owning a lot of different Mary Kay cosmetics, I was expecting this product to be a high quality mattifier that actually worked. I was very disappointed after I used it (as directed, on a clean face with no makeup on) the effects simply did not last more than a couple of hours, and I tried reapplying it throughout the day to get rid of sheen and it simply did nothing... will not be purchasing it again.

I have SUPER oily skin. If i put anything on my FACE the oil just POURS out.. i used many kind of things to control my oil leak.. this actually does the WORK!! thank God! because my face is oily.. it doesn't work as long as it would but still does! so if your face isn't as oily as mine DEF buy it! *TIPS* if you think ur face is oily as mine one way that i've been doing with this is wash face-> moisturize-> Mary Kay oil mattifier on problem areas-> face primer-> bb cream/ foundation / whatever you do on ur face XD. that actually works REALLY great! it lengthens the time the face stays oil free :D... at least for me

I have almost used up all my product. It is a good base for my T zone if I think I might get shiny during the day and it also is a good refresher if I already have worn my makeup all day and notice some shine. The beauty is that you can apply the mattifier below or on top of your foundation and powder. I usually only apply overtop my makeup if I've already had my makeup on for several hours, like after work before going on a date for the night.

5.0 out of 5 stars Want to Shrink your Pores & Eliminate Shine

I am so happy with this Mary Kay Oil Mattifier. I was tired of using expensive make-up, and looking like I had washed my face with baby oil, having to constantly re-touch it up by blotting away the shine. I was looking for something that went well with liquid foundation. I would apply Mary Kay on a clean face, give it a few second to dry then apply my make-up. The application is very smooth, enhances my make-up and gives a flawless look. Pores shrink, shine gone. Try Mary Kay Oil Mattifier.
