MAC Oil Control Lotion

[NYAngel98]

Saw this online... has me curious.

Anyone try this? Is it any good? A good deal to get this or is there a cheaper similar product out there? I have dry skin, but my T-Zone gets shiny after a few hours & I feel greasy.

Thanks hun! Since I just barely got into MAC - I certainly haven't tried any skin care besides my Fix+ spray... so I'm clueless -

Thanks for the info! Better to know beforehand than to waste the $....

since trisha mentioned primers...hm...I´ve never used one. what exactly does it do? does it even our your skin tone? I would need one for combo to oily skin. or maybe just a moisturizer that stops shine on the T-Zone

the brands I have access to are Clinique,Estee Lauder,Lancome,Shiseido, YSL, Chanel (can´t think of any more). do any of you know if these brands offer any primers?

I KNOW CLINIQUE HAS A GOOD MATTYFIER... NOT SURE IF IT CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS A PRIMER THOUGH.

(SORRY FOR THE CAPS - I'M SNEAKING HERE FROM WORK & DOING A FORM THAT NEEDS CAPS... LOL )

do you know how it´s called?

Hmmm... not seeing it on their site - I think it was just called 'mattifying lotion' - but they might have changed the name - if anything its probably (or similar to) the T-Zone shine control Gel

NOOOOO... don't try it Arielle! Ok well do but i'd suggest trying a sample first plus its much cheaper to buy in the US. Think its $16.50 there. I tried a sample & liked it so i bought the full size version. I use it every day but to be honest i think there are far better primers out there. I wanna try the Laura Mercier primer next as i've heard that is really good too. Anyway, that's just my opinion on it

I've used it before on some clients and they actually like it. Try it for yourself.

the problem is I don´t have access to LM or NARS, and I don´t really want to order anything online (as I know this might become another makeup-addiction

)

so I decided to try the MU4ever Primer (if that one doesn´t work there is another brand here in Europe, Artdeco, that does a Primer)

Makeup-Base SPF 18:

sounds good to me...I´ll try either the blue or green one
