Oily T-Zone areas could all do with a little of this stuff! it works, and it works well.

Smashbox has a few of my fave products in it's collection, and a few of my not so faves. This "Anti-Shine" is one of my faves. It works, and it lasts both in terms of product in the tube, and when it's on your face.

There is a trick to using it though...when you are applying it to the areas where you want to control the shine factor, you have to work fast with it. It has a tendency to soak and dry in fast, and once it does there is no more blending, it is in place and is not going to budge unless you take it off with make-up remover.

That being said, I like it. Once you get the hang of using it, it is the ideal product to use on those areas of your face that you need to control the shine. I use it (mostly in summer), around my nose, chin and forehead T-Zone area. You just need a little dab of it, and it's not a build able product. Once you have the little bit you will need, and you place it on your skin, you have a very short time to blend it in. There is no real colour to it, it's a neutral tone, so with the right application anyone should be able to use it.

If you use too much....you get a patchy look...so be careful. Just practice a bit with it first, and make sure to check your make-up application in natural light, BEFORE you step out into the world, otherwise if you didn't apply it right you can end up looking really flat in areas. Besides, you need to check what your make up looks like in the natural light of day before you go out anyway....every time. Otherwise, people like me will hone in on that unnatural foundation line along your jaw bone, or that blush that is sagging down to your chin. All kidding aside....people notice this stuff!!

Anyone with problem oily areas can use this product....I have sensitive skin and it's never created a reaction on my complexion. It is an awesome product for hot humid days, and for special occasions when you are applying more make-up and need the back up of an oil/shine control product.
