I have been a MAC fan for 10 yrs now and so was so disappointed in this particular product. Not only does it NOT make a difference in its 'claim' to prevent shine, but it also made me break out over and over again. I thought it was just a coincidence that I would break out..so I tested it on 5 random days and each and everytime I used it --pimples galore. Be forewarned... May 29, 2008, 10:15 pm

This product works GREAT to keep my oily face matte ALL DAY. I put it on under my MAC Studio Fix foundation and I rarely have to even blot or powder my nose or chin all day. That's unreal! And I usually don't need any touch ups, even after a 16+ hour day. Although it seems like a small tube, the product lasts for quite a while. You only use a small amount. This is a must-have for anyone with an oily complexion. June 9, 2008, 7:00 pm

A friend of mine and I went to MAC for makeovers. The MUA who did my makeup (which turned out amazing btw) used this as the primer for my face (I have a very oily t-zone and am very very prone to breakouts). The Matte along with MAC Studio Stick foundation and a couple other products and my face was the most flawless and shine-free it had been in next to forever. My friend and I went out clubbing that night, and my face stayed shine-free. I was very impressed.
I didn't end up purchasing any of the face stuff then, because I still had primer, mineral foundation etc that I was using.
When my primer ran out, i thought, hey why don't I give the MAC Matte a try. So I bought it. It's a lot more slippery than I had thought, which makes me know that it does include a lot of silicone. It does blend very nicely, goes in smoothly and does make my face matte...
...here's the downside...
It doesn't stay matte all that long... by noon/1 pm-ish my forehead is a nice sexy oil slick yet again. So I have't yet decided if it was the combo of the Matte plus MAC foundation, blog powder etc that made and kept me matte. I do feel like likely in combo with MAC foundation it would probably yeild better results. We'll see, I am planning on switching to the MAC studio stick ones my Mineral stuff runs out June 11, 2008, 12:42 pm
