NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Shine 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.

I have tried so many expensive products as a primer. Most of them fail, allowing makeup to highlight pores and fine wrinkles. This one does not disappoint. It goes on a startling shade of black, but after it is absorbed you cannot see it. It makes my skin feel healthy, it is not greasy or thick, it glides on, it magically blocks my pores and fine wrinkles. I ordered several of them because it seems every time I like a product it goes away, ROFL

Bought this in place of a liquid foundation. Works really great as a base coat with applying only a powder base.

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

Works very well, takes away the shine and the shine stays away. I love the silky feel when applying it, no greasy feeling

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.

Great !

I love NYX but don’t love this. I have super oily skin and wanted a primer I can wear to work or errands with some powder that is cheaper than my Smashbox Oil Control, which is what I usually use alone and also use when I do full makeup. Sadly the NYX primer didn’t even come close. It went on weird feeling and took no shine away and the black sand settled in my smile lines. I guess I’ll just have to continue spending twice as much on Smashbox

J'adore ce produit de base avant le maquillage, sa me fait tenir ma poudre toutes la journée et sans brillance ! C'est devenue dans ma routine de chaque jour. Je recommande pour celles qui on tendance a briller niveau de la zone T. Top !

NYX Shine Killer really works! It keeps my skin matte for hours and makes my makeup last longer. Perfect for oily and combination skin. Love it!

This product is perfect for oily skin. Easy to use and can be used for up to 2 months. It stays on skin for up to 12 hours. Great product!

Lo consiglio, da utilizzare con il fondo.

What a terrible product. Please buy the Shine Stopper from Paula’s Choice which is a real shine stopper. I returned this item.
