Best Primer for Combi SkinI love this product. I tried The Illuminator and The Smoother along with this, and this one far outshone the others. I've even tried the newer primers, but for someone with combination skin this one is just a dream. It stops my skin becoming shiny throughout the day and doesn't affect my double ware's longevity either. Nice and light and doesn't feel like it's sat on the skin causing a barrier either (as I found with The Smoother).

HeavyDoes not help make my skin look matt. Skin feels more oily. Caused acne and feels heavy.

GreatI bought this as the MAC prep+prime is hardly in stock anymore. It lived up to its expectations and made my makeup last 10hrs, my skin is really greasy so I can recommend this to anyone who has the same problem. It didn’t make my skin feel tight.

excellent primerAlthough I'm over 50, I still get a shiny forehead and nose...this primer under my foundation takes care of that easily with just a tiny dab. Recently, I have been experimenting with "no foundation" and this primer is perfect for that! A bigger dab smeared all over my face and a tiny swoosh of translucent setting powder and I can be foundation free, something I never thought I'd ever do.

Perfect primerThis primer with double wear stay in place foundation is the perfect duo. It is super super long lasting! Doesn't budge, even when I've got my sweat on. Perfect.

Estée Lauder The Mattifier Shine Control PerfectinBrilliant product, gives a really good matt finish but still looks natural. Also definitely seems to help my make-up last longer.

Game ChangerI've been using this amazing primer for a few years and I absolutely panic when I can't find it (sold out in multiple stores). I'm always worried they'll discontinue the product. I will state that it's great with any foundation and even better when I use EL Double Wear for oily/combo skin.
