The Best Mattifiers Ever
This category covers products designed to leave your skin with a matte finish and to absorb excess oil. Feel free to weigh in on your favorites. This list is actually comprised of two separate lists:
1) The Beauty Insider's Picks: My own personal list of the best products in that category, in no particular order
2) The Popular Vote: The results of a poll I did of over 1000 beauty-savvy consumers, in order of popularity
The Beauty Insider's Picks
1. Origins Zero Oil: I love this portable, easy-to-use skin serum, which instantly zaps oil and leaves skin smooth and silky-matte using natural ingredients like winterbloom and Chinese camphor. $10
2. Peter Thomas Roth Max Anti-Shine Mattifying Gel: This inconspicuous, potent shine-fighter leaves skin satiny smooth by continually absorbing oil and minimizing pores. $35
3. Shiseido Pureness Oil-Control Blotting Paper: These powdery sheets immediately soak up excess oil and shine, so that skin looks refreshed and makeup lasts longer. The antibacterial formula won’t cause breakouts. $14.50
4. Skin Alison Raffaele Blotting Tissues: If you’re looking to blot oil without messing makeup, these delicate tissues do the trick. They’re powder and lint free to soak up sebum imperceptibly. $6
5. Korres Lemon Anti-Shine Gel To Go: This light and lemony gel is a pleasure to use, and leaves skin matte and breakout-free. $5
6. Boscia Fresh Blotting Linens: Natural linen is naturally absorbent, making these perfect for absorbing oil without adding anything. $6
7. Sephora Roll-Up Blotting Papers: This tiny, hygienic dispenser lets you roll out your blotting paper to the length you want, eliminating waste. Most importantly, it immediately blots out signs of shine. $8
8. DDF Daily Matte SPF 15: This lightweight liquid serves two practical purposes: it eliminates shine and protects skin with an SPF 15 sunscreen. $34
9. I-Iman Matte Spray: This unique product is unlike any I’ve seen: it’s a gel that mists on to set and seal makeup, leaving it matte and gorgeous. $27
10. Smashbox Anti-Shine (“Smashing Neutral”): Cool and invigorating, this powder-gel helps skin maintain its matteness all day long. $26

i have extremly oily skin and i've tried smashbox anti-shine and the clinique t-zone mattifier and neither worked well for me. i have heard of mac's oil control lotion, but i'm afraid to spend money on a product that doesn't work. so i'd love to hear comments on what works for you. it has to last all day and work well under makeup and cost less than $25.00. please tell me your suggestions. feel free to email me at jamminjamaican1220@yahoo.com
