controlling oil and reducing shineGreat
My makeup looks smooth with this and it controls oil wellSuper impressive!
I have to say I'm super impressed with this product. I have a very oily t-zone and wasn't expecting it to make too much of a difference, but when I checked myself in the mirror this afternoon there was minimal oil showing. This is definitely the best primer/mattifier I have ever used. Definitely worth every penny for me. When applying the product is just melted onto my skin instantly and I did...Read MoreAmazing !
A very smooth and beautiful primer. It makes my foundation look amazing. I absolutely love it!Good
Let's foundation go on smooth. Makes pores less visible. I like that my skin looks less oily with itGood
Makeup stays in place and is mattified.Smooth like velvet
Purchased with the Double Wear foundation for oily mature skin with visible pores and fine lines. This primer is delicate and feels lovely gliding on your skin. Perfect match for the foundation, and the combination leaves a smooth velvety finish that I just love. Doesn't fill pores but definitely makes them less visible. Am also a lot less oily through the day and don't really need to touch up (in...Read MoreBeautiful
Ive bought all of their primers, they're well priced, effective ,they perform as stated & they last & last.Each one has a specific purpose & the matte primer is very good. Ive found in summer that its a better choice to use for day. the others.....for night :)Nice primer
Works really well with the doublewear foundation and concealer. Feels silky on application and helps with mattifying - I have oily skin so find this works quite well. Wouldn't recommend for dry skinDoes what it says!
This is perfect for my normal to oily skin. Makeup stays in place and is mattified. This primer is light and works to smooth out any imperfections too!very good
Very nice in the warmer weather when my skin gets hot and oily, this primer helps mattify my skin and help it be less oily during the dayGood primer to use with matching foundation
I found this primer helped to make my Estée Lauder double wear foundation last a lot longer throughout the day and for special events. However it is probably not the best to use when you have dry skin.Long lasting
If u want your makeup to last for long hours this is your product. It glides on the skin effortlessly and creates a great base for makeup. Good for dry skin tooIt’s ok
This is a nice primer and it does help to control shine, however after using it consistently for a couple of weeks I found it to be drying my skin out. Nice for those with oily skin, but not obviously just not suited to mine.BEST primer
Love this primer. It makes my skin feel hydrated, but also makes my foundation last longer and prevents oiliness or dry patches during the day. Great product.My Fave!
Super mattifying which is exactly what I wanted out of a primer. I've noticed that my skin's oiliness while wearing makeup has reduced so much since using this product it's amazing! I have combination skin and I used to get super oily around my t-zone after wearing makeup all day but now it's so much less noticeable.Nice primer
This was a nice primer for me but i don't think it helped my Double Wear foundation stay matte or make it more long wearing. So for the price i will not repurchase.Mattifier!
Using this with my everyday powder foundation and have noticed a smoother look to my skin and longer wear. Need to blotch halfway through the day but can definitely see the benefit. Looking forward to trying this with the double wear liquid foundation.My fav!
Works so well the Estée Lauder double wear foundation. This primer is awesome for a great makeup application and I find the foundation lasts longer and looks smoother on the skin with this product. I would be lost without this primer! I even wear it on makeup free days to keep my skin looking fresh.Oil control
I tend to get an oily t-zone throughout the day and I need a product like this to control the shine. I also tried the Clinique oil pore control. I think this one is better as the Clinique one does sometimes go a bit bitty. When I bought this Este Lauder one I did think it would be a tinted moisturiser because of the colour of the bottle! But it is not it is a white coloured product. Still a good p...Read MoreEstée Lauder Perfecting Primer The Mattifier
Estée Lauder Perfecting Primer The Mattifier - A product I can't live without! It has made such a noticeable difference in keeping my make up looking fresh!Amazing
I have oily skin and this makes it matte and smooth and keeps the foundation looking matte and fresh all day.Awesome!
I absolutely love this primer as it leaves my face looking smooth and makeup ready while also holding my makeup in place for a long time.Love it!
Great Primer!! Especially with the Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation my makeup doesn't budge and looks fresh all day and night.
like it
Goes on really smooth and stays on all day. Really happy with this product.One of the best Primers I have tried
I love this primer. It mattifies beautifully and when I use it with the Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation my makeup doesn't budge and looks fresh all nightFor summers
Feels light and smooth on skin. Great base for double wear foundation. Hides shine and great for keeping your make up on in humid weather.Love it!
I've tried others but I keep coming back to this one. This is the fourth time I've purchased this primer. A little goes a long way and it keeps my foundation looking great all day.
Great purchase
Received this as a sample and had to purchase straight away. Does such a great correcting job and really evens my skin tone so it’s perfect for applying foundation. Subtly illuminates without being too over the top.Great primer
This primer is my favourite for a matte look. It didn’t dry out my skin or make my foundation look crap. It still gives me a hydrated look but a matte complexionGreat mattifying and staying power
I first tried this as a sample years ago and haven't looked back since. I have combination skin that gets oily after half a day in the dry air of an office and this product stops my makeup from running off my face (in combination with the Double Wear Foundation). It makes my skin look matt and smooth so is great to wear on it's own or as a great base for foundation.Great Primer
Currently on my second tube, this works very well for my combination skin. Works well as an everyday primer. My skin looks even and makeup stays in place for the day.Good primer
My makeup sat really well over this , my nose was still a little shiny earlier than I would have liked.A great everyday primer
I've been using this primer for nearly 5 years now and although I often try new products I always come back to this.
This matte primer is not drying on my skin and I get a fresh finish when combined with my Estee Lauder Doublewear Foundation.
I have a very oily T-Zone so after about 7 hours of wear I do have to blot my forehead, however my makeup is still in place after...Read MoreGreat!

In place for a long time5 stars
Love this primer! It’s the best one I have found yet to keep your make up on and looking fresh, even in the humid conditions of the NTGood for oily skin
Really nice for oily skin, however I have found it to ball up. Still, it’s great for oily skinGreat for my combination skin
This primer keeps my makeup looking fresh and even. Spreads easily and my liquid foundation applies beautifully on topGood Primer
I like this primer but it hasn’t blown my mind. It does the job but I prefer a thicker primer that really blurs out my skin before I put on my foundation. I have dry/combination and sensitive skin so I usually use a Clinique primer that is much thicker and I’m finding that this one just isn’t giving me that same lay down with my foundation. It does wear really well under foundation though, my make...Read MoreNo longer have issues with my oily t-zone
I use a hydrating/illuminating primer everywhere but my t-zone! This is where this primer comes in. My t-zone doesn’t look shiny when I use this and keeps my makeup in place all day whilst looking so smooth. Doesn’t look drying either which has been an issue I’ve had with previous mattifying primers I’ve tried.Wow!
Where has this been all my life and why did it take me so long to find it?! It goes on like a dream, doesn’t slip and slide and makes your skin perfectly smooth and matte and ready for foundation. I use it with the double wear matte foundation powder and the result is to die for. Beautifully finished face, pores minimised and no shine all day! So good and worth every cent. Thank you Estée Lauder, ...Read MoreWill purchase again and again
This is the third time I've purchased this primer. I've tried others but I keep coming back to this one. A little goes a long way and it keeps my foundation looking perfect all day long.Amazing primer
I really like this primer.. my skin feels soft and plump after using it and creates a perfect makeup basestops my face looking oily
I love this primer especially in summer when I am constantly sweating and don't want my face to look shiny. It definitely stops the shine coming through and helps to shrink the look of my pores underneath my make up.Controls oils
Great for summer when I'm greasy/ sweaty. Prevents foundation sliding off my face by the end of the dayGreat finish
This is great for that flawless look. I use this with my Estée Lauder foundations and my skin always looks amazing. Even though this is Matt is gives the skin a very nice healthy glowPerfect Primer
I use this primer with my Estee lauder double wear foundation and it is the perfect base. My make up lasts longer and appears to be smoother as well. I would definitely recommend this primer even for people who do not use Estee Lauder foundation.Reasonably priced, no artificial scent, helps combat oily skin.
I apply this after putting on moisturiser and prior to BB creme or foundation. Works a treat, leaving my naturally oily skin looking matte. Also, I feel it helps set my foundation in place.Looks great under my makeup!
Not bad at all! I sometimes react quite negatively to this brand but have found this to work great with my makeup. Definitely a win! Would recommend.Works well with oily skin
When I first started using this, I made the mistake of applying it all over my face. I have now learned that, for me, I should only apply this to my oily T zone as it dried out the less oily parts of my face. Works very well the Estée Lauder double wear foundation. I had noticeably less shine and a more even skin tone.great for oily skin
I really like this primer underneath the double wear foundation. This primer is great for really oily skin and enlarged pores as it covers mine so they aren't noticeable underneath the foundation. It feels quite dry going onto the skin form the start So I wouldn't recommend this for anyone who has dry skin at all. It does act like a glue for the foundation though, mine literally does not move when...Read MoreThe perfect base
I have combination skin and I have tried using different mattifying primers, however I always come back to this one. I use this as my base to my Estee Lauder double wear. I apply it at least 5 mins before my foundation to make sure it has had time to sink into my skin. Very happy with this product.Mattifying
Good for oily skin to help makeup stay in place all day!Great everyday product
I use this primer everyday with my double wear foundation. It's great for normal/ combination skin and great for sensitive skin. I go back and forth between the EL illuminating primer and this one. This one is great during the day and definitely helps make my makeup last longer in summer. It's very smooth and helps cover blemishes and pores, and has reduced shine around my T-zone.Great primer
I love this primer, it sits so beautifully under the Double Wear foundation. I use it in conjunction with the illuminating primer. I use the mattifier over my t-zone, and the illuminator over the rest of my face. This one keeps the skin from becoming oily, but doesn’t dry you out.Ok but not as good as Benefit Porefessional
I tried this product as I use the Estée Lauder double wear light foundation, which is fabulous, and as it’s also a bit more economical than the primer I currently use which is Benefit Porefessional. I have oily skin and pores. Both primers are matifying which is great, but the Benefit covers my pores more effectively than the Estée Lauder.Perfect for an even skin tone
I use this product with the Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place foundation and they are the perfect match. I have skin that's prone to oil - mostly in my T-Zone, but this really works to matte down the shiny / glossy look that can come through after a few hours. I find if I use this and the Double Wear, I can go an entire day without touching up my makeup. And as someone with oil-prone skin ...Read MoreLovely & light
This primer sits beautifully on my skin and doesn’t feel oily. It evens out my skin without feeling thick. Would recommend.I would definitely keep buying this product
I have dry cheeks with some old acne scarring and uneven skin due to these scars, therefore, it's super difficult to find a primer that either doesn't clog my pores or doesn't make my foundation look uneven and gross. Then I found this primer, and it seriously diminishes the look of my pores and applies so smoothly and lightweight. Love it!Great for damaged skin
I would highly recommend this primer to anyone who has irritated skin, whether you have huge pores, acne, ageing or greasy skin, this primer is gentle and soothing yet works so effectively! Best of all, after applying it your skin will feel soft and plumped up, your foundation will just glide onto your skin and sit so well.Perfect Primer
Does such a great correcting job and really evens my skin tone so it’s perfect for applying foundation. Subtly illuminates without being too over the top.Great product
I use this primer everyday, it's great for combination skin and I don't break out after using this primer. For best results, apply foundation straight after apply primer. I once left it an hour and it was hard to get an even foundation coating. Only issue with this primer is that it can rub off easily around my nose.This primer is perfect in summer, it can cover up shininess, and my foundation doe...Read MoreBest primer
I have an oily T-zone and love how this primer makes my skin look and feel. It helps make my make up last longer however I do still get a bit of make up slide off my nose if it is hot or has been on for a very long time. Nice consistency.Good for improving longevity of makeup
I have combination oily skin and this is the first time I have tried a primer. I was finding my long wear foundation wore off my nose by the afternoon. With this primer, my foundation lasts all day, however I do get some oil on my nose and forehead by lunch time if I don't use a setting powder. This primer really improves the appearance and longevity of my makeup and I will continue to purchase. M...Read MoreNice glow
Leaves skin with a nice glow under makeup as opposed to the smooth primer . I received as a sample and used with the smooth for that illuminating look but not glittery so it lovelyGood product, only small
This is a good product however nowhere did it mention it is only 30ml so not good value.So smooth
This glides on my skin so smoothly and helps my skin so much, this is why I love samples from adore beauty I can try new things like this and its a lofe changer WILL be buying some!Matte and non-oily
I do like this primer, I'm still testing it with all of my foundations. I've used it with the YSL fusion Ink, Revlon 24hr, Fenty. So far so good. I have oily skin and this does help with the oil control. I still need to blot throughout the day but it doesn't cake or pill which I like. When I need to blot (3hrs in) it doesn't separate or cake. It makes the foundation easier to apply which I love.best of the three
This one is the best of the EL primer IMO. It doesn't crumble and the best at oil control. It's also hydrating. Just a bit and it smooths the skin creating a flawless base.Love it, used it on my wedding day
This is a beautiful primer, and works really well with Estee Lauder Double Wear. It feels beautiful on the skin, and works really well at keeping make up in place, and mattifying at the same time. I don't use this product every day, but use it whenever I want my makeup to look extra flawless and stay that way. I also use it if my skin is a bit drier, to stop makeup settling in creases.
