Makeup factory: Mat effect makeup base

Shiny T-zone has always been my biggest concern. It always makes me look and messy, greasy and feel uncomfortable. So I’m a big fan of all kinds of mattifying products. Over the years the situation is slightly improving, because I found some great products, but I’m not done with my battle yet. My mission is to find products that would work for a whole working day (that means 8 hours for me). I think that’s science fiction for now, it will be easier when my skin get’s older and consequently less oily, I think.

My latest addition to mattifiyng products is mattifiyng primer from Makeup factory. This is the third primer I ever tried. First two were total disaster, but this one is somehow better, but not ideal.
  


It comes in very practical, elegant and expensive looking glass packaging with a pump. Well this wasn’t cheap, but it’s in upper drugstore range. It’s typically looking pink-white primer, with medium thickness and creamy consistency. It has very pleasant light smell, which fades away quickly. It instantly smothens and mattifies the skin, so you get that magazine cover look. But the sad thing is it doesn’t last long. Only 3 to 4 hours I would say. This is more appropriate for some kind of event or going out, just for days when you want to look extra good. Ok that’s every day I guess, but you know what I mean, right? *I don't wear foundations, only compact powders and concelaer.

I tried to wear it alone, what turn out to be much better than putting it over moisturizer. That is simply too much for my T-zone. Big no no is also to put it under eyes, because it can mess up concelaer. I will use this up, butI think I gave up with primers. Supposedly better ones are too expensive to even try and I doubt they would work for me.
I haven’t found ingredients list, but on the website is written that it’s suitable for all skin types, dermatology tested, paraben free and contains vitamin E.
