I’m not sure how dark your skintone is so it’s difficult to recommend a shade. I would say this gives more medium coverage than light. If your primer is working for you, then I’d keep using it. There are some that work great for oilier skin. Smashbox makes a variety of primers, but with this foundation I would think you might not need a primer.

Where can I buy this product? I’ve never worn foundations my entire life. I’m 42 now and its time to start. I dont need full coverage. I’m blessed with even skin tone so my question is will this product give me heavy coverage? I prefer med to light coverage. Can I find this at Sephora? I’m olive complextion with yellow undertones. Can u recommend a shade for me??? Is primer bad for oily skin or should I continue to use my primer?

This foundation does everything it says it does, mattifies, stays matte for six hours easily. Don’t doubt it. Try it.
Oh, no one mentioned the two anti-aging ingredients. Phytostem Eidelweiss is an antioxidant that reduces wrinkle depth and protects collagen. Lavandox relaxes expression lines.

In reply to Karen Stauss. In the winter I am T zone oily in the sping/summer I am super oily. I feel your 'pain'! This goes in matte and powdery, not dry/pasty.I agree that oil free doesn't mean much when oily. In fact using too many oil free products can just make the skin politer as it needs oils naturally. That said, nothing keeps oily skin perfectly matte for say 10 hours. Unless maybe paste! So those of us with oily skin must use additional measures like a powder, blot papers etc to do the best we can to keep looking matte. I liked this because my skin didn't look dull and it looked matte for several hours. But these are my results and everyone is different. If you live near a Sephora, maybe get a sample and see what your results are.

Do you actually have really oily skin? I do. I’m super oily. I’m rapidly closing in on 50 and my fave STILL produces so much oil it would easily qualify for OPEC status. As a super-oily girl, I am confident in stating the words “oil free” are meaningless when it comes to oil control. Just because something is oil free means nothing when it comes to controlling shine. “Mattifying” is another meaningless term, really, since lots of products are great for an hour or two… some can even reduce shine for 4 hours. When you get past that, you quickly separate the GOOD from the ALSO RAN 😉 I’m with Julie when it comes to the question of “how does a product perform throughout the day”. Blotting sheets are great but at this age when your face is so shiny people think you’re sweating… it’s often mistaken for hot flashes. Not Good At All.

I’m a fan of many Hourglass products, I’m just a complete doubting thomasina when it comes to products which claim to be mattifying. This is based on years and years of first hand experience as a super oily girl.

In reply to Julie Meintel. Yes, definitely sample if you can.

Thanks for your response! At this point, something that held my shine at bay for 5-6 hours, I would probably consider that a miracle product 😉

I will head over to the mall this weekend and see if I can sample it in person. Thanks!!

Sounds promising. I too have oily skin and I’m over 50! This is where face blotters come in. Don’t leave home without them!

In reply to Julie Meintel. I had a sample that was only about 2 day's worth of product. I would say I stayed non-shiny for at least 5-6 hours. Honestly, I don't think there is a product out there that would last 12 or so hours keeping shine at bay. For those days, I always have my blotting papers at hand.
