Mehron Makeup Skin Prep Pro, Mattifying Anti Shine Skin Prep - 4 Fl oz | Shine Absorbing, Mattifying Pre Makeup Serum for Oily Skin. Vegan, Cruelty Free, & Made in the USA.

This toner works exceptionally well at mattifying the skin. It effectively reduces shine, leaving my skin with a smooth, matte finish. This makes it a perfect base for makeup, helping to keep my foundation in place throughout the day without becoming oily. The toner creates an excellent canvas for makeup application. It smooths out the skin’s texture and helps makeup adhere better and last longer. I noticed a significant improvement in the longevity of my makeup when using this product. The product is easy to apply. A little goes a long way, and it absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving any residue. It’s convenient to use, especially when preparing for a long day or a special event. One downside to this toner is that it can be a bit over drying. While it excels at reducing oiliness, it may be too harsh for those with dry or sensitive skin. I found that using it daily made my skin feel tight and dry. To mitigate this, I recommend using a good moisturizer after applying the toner and perhaps limiting its use to special occasions or particularly oily areas.

I have skin that gets oily throughout the day and this stuff totally works to help counter that. It makes your skin dry out and feel very tight before you move onto the next makeup layer, and it really helps foundation sticking and even application. Idk why people were complaining about it not coming with a spray nozzle-- it's better for precise application when dripped onto a cotton round. It only takes a couple drops, and you can always go for another wipe down if you're not feeling dry enough. PLUS, it doesn't burn your skin. Or at least, it didn't burn mine. I could even apply it around my eyes without any burning sensation. And makeup usually makes my eczema break out especially around my eyes, but this didn't irritate me like I thought it would. For 9+ hours of sweating and moving around, I'd say the makeup held up pretty well. I'm pretty sure the issues with makeup that I did experience throughout the day, was due to other products and user error (i.e. not applying enough powder in the right areas, not reapplying powder throughout the day, and not using enough setting spray) First three pics: from beginning of the day next 3: after my shift

Lovvveeeee this product so much. Makes my makeup stay on as a sweaty person. Gives it a matte base for a flawless finish.

I just wanted this because my skin is oily. It definitely mattifies & kind of makes your face feel tight, it kind of feels like im just putting straight alcohol on my face which worries me about how it's affecting my skin, so i don't think I'll use it daily. It does help me stay matte longer, but it's not a miracle worker. I'll have to see how well it holds up in the humid summertime. I got a more hydrating moisturizer to use with this, the haruharu black rice sunscreen. Those 2 items together work nicely as a primer. I don't need as much face powder. I use the matte UD all nighter setting spray

I absolutely love this product! I’ve used this product for a few months now and it has completely changed how my make up looks. I am in parades through throughout Mardi Gras and before I put on any makeup, I always soak a cotton ball with this clear liquid and wipe it all over my face. Adding this one step to my make up routine has made my make up last longer and look better. I constantly sweat during parades and my make up does not budge! I have extremely sensitive skin and this does not irritate whatsoever. It makes my skin feel a bit tight when first applied, but relaxes quickly. It does not take much for it to work. The photos I’ve attached to this review are proof that it works. This photo shoot was three hours of sweating in a very tight outfit and you can see my makeup did not budge! I recommend this to dancers, other performers, or other people visiting very hot and humid places.

If you have oily skin or an oily Tzone and want to help your makeup last longer then you should try this. I tested it a few times and found that it works. I prefer to use my hands to apply this. Simpler and faster application. Using a cotton ball leaves cotton fibers on my face. I then have to pick these off which messes up the barrier that this creates. I apply and allow it to dry as instructed then I apply my other products. Later when I blot everything stayed in place. Not much oil showed up and my makeup stayed fresh. I would buy again.

As a skin prep or primer for costume make up this worked great and help up (I did use Mehron setting spray as well, however). However the claim that it stops sweating doesn’t really hold true. While applying my make up, as I sprayed it on a bit somehow hit my lip and part of tongue which instantly felt like the desert and tasted like I licked a deodorant stick lol. So I thought all would go to plan. And it did a great job of making my skin feel normal but keeping me from sweating during make up application and up until I got to the show and it was extremely hot and humid. I don’t feel like I was sweating any less than would be normal and I was having to pat myself down with a towel constantly when I wasn’t onstage. Also of note, the setting spray is meant to be cooling, which all setting sprays are, but is also meant to almost eliminate sweating. I reapplied the setting spray several times just to cool off. Still. Even though in was in the extreme heat and humidity of South Florida, where I wouldn’t expect anything to really stop sweating, I didn’t feel like my face was sweating any less than it would have been with nothing on my face. HOWEVER… at the end of the night, despite sweating and blotting with a towel constantly, I was the only cast member who didn’t look a mess. It definitely worked far beyond what I think setting spray alone would have done. I’ve never used the mehron setting spray that but I’ve never had a setting spray of any brand work to THAT degree. Stage make up is heavy and it still looked pretty great. After removing my make up, my skin wasn’t at all dry either. I don’t know how moisturizing it was but for a product that’s meant to be an antiperspirant, it was definitely not drying in the least. So I don’t feel like it actually inhibits sweating. However it’s an impressive primer and for stage make up nothing has ever worked better for me. I have to keep in mind that I was also using mehron’s setting spray which I say the same about. Didn’t affect sweating. But held up.

I have cranial hyperhidrosis and i sweat so heavily on my forehead, chin, but mostly my nose and upper lip, even in winter. it affects my daily life so much, being the only one who is pouring sweat just being in a grocery store or the walk to the bathroom at work. i was trying to find something for years before i committed to taking medication/botox. i’ve tried carpe, sweat block wipes, certain dry, mitchum, neat feat 3b, and various other (embarrassing) methods to stay cool like the obnoxious fans, fever gel patches, towels but it did absolutely nothing. This product has been a life saver!!! it’s definitely not perfect, con is that it does last only 6ish hrs or if i become godly hot (being outside in 80+ weather) it starts to break down but still not nearly as bad as previous products. it does sting a little but honestly it doesn’t bother me too much, even with very sensitive and eczema prone skin. you definitely have to wait a while before putting makeup on so it doesn’t peel. I usually do it right when i wake up, after skincare, and give it 15-20 minutes. all of this being said, it’s a great product and it has improved my daily life so much.

The bottle came empty...it wasn't closed and all was drop...am sooo hangry

I know it should be for special occasions only but it is a godsend for my extremely oily skin. In the recent hot weather still kept my makeup in place all day. I wash my face, swipe this toner, then the sunscreen on top and then start applying the makeup. It lasts all day.

Delivered on time, product does what it is supposed to do, im A professional makeup artist, and I love it for brides

I’ve been suffering from hyperhidrosis where I get absolutely soaked in my own sweat if I get a little too hot or move around too much. This has been amazing under sunscreen and makeup. I can still get a little damp if I actually workout but no where near the dripping sweat I was before. I love this product

Funktioniert sehr gut!!! Mein MakeUp hält trotz meines sonst sehr schwitzigen Gesichts.
