So I tried the quo primer that was said to be a close resemblence to smashbox photofinish, and I've tried chaffing gel that's suggested as a great alternative for skin primer and my face still looks super shiny
First of all, let me tell you this is my routine.
I would also like to add that the chaffing gel seems to work better than the quo primer although it has a weird smell to it. Quo does little mattifying for me whereas when I use the chaffing gel, you instantly see your skin matte when you apply it (it's also thicker in consistency) both are very smooth however. And with all this being said, I have had the chance to drop by sephora and use the smashbox tester and quo has the same consistency and feel.
I don't want to pay $44 for smashbox, so is there something or a product I can use that can help my problem?

- I cleanse my face, mix 50/50 aloe vera gel and aveeno moisturizer and apply it, wait a bit
- apply quo primer or chaffing gel then take the time to striaghten my hair
- apply mineral makeup wet (I am also using a formula for oily skin), powder to set
