RimmelLondon Stay Matte Fix & Go - 001 Transparent - 2-in-1 Primer & Setting Spray, Oil-Free, Locks Makeup into Place, Soothes Skin, 3.3 oz

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I have been experimenting with different primers and Rimmel London Stay Matte - 003 - Primer is my new go-to primer.Initially the thickness and texture is a little off-putting. First, I dab this over my trouble spots such as, cheek rosacea and larger pore areas and also around my crows feet, and then to the rest of my face. When I smooth it out over my face , the texture becomes a little more silky to apply. After it dry's, I go ahead and apply my foundation with a brush. The foundation goes on much smoother.I thought I was imagining this, but after quite a few hours of wearing it, my skin feels like it is being "tightened", especially in the 'crows feet' area near my eyes. This sensation is very similar to using a "5-minite wrinkle eraser" product. If I use the primer alone, I get the same sensation, so, it's not from my foundation, etc. Again, this seems to happen after about 6 hours after application. I like the way it feels like it is tightening up the wrinkles.Since I only use a small amount, it's a good value for the price.I am very happy with primer and intend to continue to use it.

I don’t wear makeup, but you’d never know it thanks to the Rimmel London Stay Matte Primer. This little tube has become an essential part of my daily morning routine, and I never leave home without it, whether I’m heading to work or packing for vacation.The ultra-lightweight formula is exactly what my skin needed. It goes on smooth, never greasy or heavy, and immediately gives my skin a soft, matte finish that lasts all day. Even without foundation or powder, this primer leaves my face looking fresh, even, and shine-free and it somehow still feels like I’m wearing nothing at all.What I love most is how it makes my skin look youthful and healthy. It blurs imperfections, reduces the appearance of pores, and gives me the confidence of a polished look without layering on makeup. It’s also a great base if you do wear makeup because it grips product beautifully and extends wear time.This is one of those simple, no-fuss products that quietly transforms your skin and routine. If you’re looking for a way to look refreshed, smooth, and shine-free with or without makeup, this is the one to try. A true staple that earns its place in my bag every single day!

I was hoping this would be a more economical dupe for Paula's Choice Matte Finish Shine Stopper, the only thing that has every managed to tone down the oiliness for me. Alas, no. I think it helps a little.

This is the CHEAPEST but MOST EFFECTIVE primer I have used in DECADES. I have EXTREMELYYYYYYY oily skin. Like, even the most expensive "mattifying" products will.not.work. This product WORKS. I use it after I use my niacinimide serum, then I put this on, then I put my makeup on which isn't totally mattifying. I am not shiny at all. The texture is smooth and white, so far it has lasted on my face longer than ANY other product. It is not sticky. The size of the bottle is small, but let me tell you -- a little goes a LONG WAY. I bet you this will last me at least 2 months.

I am not sure how to feel about this one . It is okay but I don’t think it does what it’s supposed to do for me at least .

This is my first time using this and I’m happily surprised. I usually use elf matte primer cause I’m really sweaty but my budget was a little tight so I needed something slightly cheaper. I was skeptical but still got this and it works really good. It GRIPS! It’s sticky which is good because your makeup will stay in place and it doesn’t feel heavy on the skin either. Just make sure you apply it well because it can leave a white cast on your face but I really do like it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Few things get you as matte as this one. Wish it were longer lasting, but you'll be totally shine-free for a while after putting it on. Great value considering its price.

I have tried a lot of different primers and expensive ones, this is amazing and actually blurs
