submitted byTarget Beauty Consulting - 24 days agoBrand expertA: Hello JP! That's a great question about optimizing your routine with our Shine Killer Mattifying Primer! Yes, you can absolutely use this mattifying primer with a moisturizer. For the best results, you should always apply your moisturizer first, allowing it a moment to fully absorb into your skin. Once your moisturizer has settled, then apply a thin layer of the Shine Killer Mattifying Primer. This order ensures your skin receives its hydration first, and then the primer can create a smooth, mattified canvas for your makeup, helping it last longer and control shine effectively.

Love
Love this product. I use it everyday. A lot of the reviews say the charcoal has left their skin grayish or with an ashy hue to it. I mix the primer with my foundation and haven’t had that problem.

Feels good for combination skin
I’ll say the quality was definitely good. I loved how I was able to take a regular look and make it look pretty matte and not Dewey. I loved it. I think it really did work well and honestly, nyx does not knock it out of the park.

Amazing for combination skin.
The Shine Killer is an amazing alternative to the higher end brands with a very affordable price point. I still had some shine, but I acknowledge having very oily skin. If you’re combination skin, this will be perfect. This is definitely worth the purchase

Excellent primer for price
Compared to similarly priced drug store primers, this works just as well as a professional primer. It dries quickly and helps your foundation stick to your face so much better than without a primer!

Affordable & effective
I love quality makeup so I'm usually spending a fortune! But this primer keeps my makeup in place all day, smells yummy & is all bundled together in a sleek matte black bottle. This works and you don't have to drop a paycheck on 1 item

Buy it!
I wouldn’t say it lasted a whole 12 hours but it did last at least 6 hours for my event. The price is very favorable and this brand is cruelty free which is huge for me!

Incredible and affordable
As someone with oily skin in the summer, this is such a game changer. It doesn’t change the texture of my skin and the texture of it is super liquid, so it doesn’t create layers that become uncomfortable while adding foundation and/or contouring. NYX will always be such a great brand, affordable and on point. The scent is very mild as well.

Good
I guess so I really do not know what to say the question doesn't make any sense. I do like the scent and clean ingredients in this. It's a pretty decent price so so pricey.

no shine!
The NYX Shine Killer Primer is a solid go-to if you struggle with oily skin. It goes on smooth, feels lightweight, and helps mattify your face without making it feel dry or cakey. I like using it under foundation because it keeps shine at bay for a decent amount of time—maybe not all day, but definitely enough to get through work or a night out. It doesn’t blur pores much, but it does create a nice, even base. For the price, it’s a great drugstore option if you’re looking to control oil without breaking the bank. Would definitely repurchase!

The most perfect product for my make-up
I found the most perfect foundation for me that I couldn’t match with any other brand, but it had too much shine for my liking.. I started using this product with it and now it is absolutely perfect in every way. I always have like five backup bottles because I’m scared I will run out! Absolutely love it, and it’s such great value for money
