Best Primer Oily Skin

I switched to this primer during the summer since my face gets oily than usual and I love it! It goes well with my Maybelline foundation. Very smooth and a little goes a long way.

Definitely changed my foundation routine

One of the best products I have tried for my makeup. I have extremely oily skin and this product definitely made a difference. I used to start blotting by noon and now I can last hours before blotting.

What??

Is this product that is supposed to replace the Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Primer? Poor substitute if it is. If it isn't then where is the under eye primer?

Effective

This was recommended by a YouTuber for those with oily skin, and I would say it works well. I tried 2 other types in the past, and compared to those, this is overall more effective. It helps smooth out fine lines and large pores and keeps the liquid foundation in place longer.

Just as good as the original

Still the only eye primer that won't crease on my oily lids. I was afraid to try the new formulation because of all the bad reviews, but they were so completely wrong. I agree the packaging is difficult, but I'm never using another brand again.

MATTIFYING PRIMER

I just recently got this primer & instantly fell in love with it! It feels very lightweight on the skin & rubs in very easily! It's a great base if you have oily skin because it helps control your oils!

My favorite primer ever!

I've been using this primer for YEARS (back when the packaging was still light blue) and haven't found anything that compares. I have very oily skin and this primer prevents me from looking like an oil slick halfway through my day. It also doesn't feel drying or stripping on my skin and lays nicely under my makeup. I even use it on days when I'm not wearing face makeup for oil control! Even though it is on the pricier side, a little goes a long way and I will never regret spending the extra money on this primer!
