I love mattifiers. I seem to love spending my money on them to find the perfect one. I have them all lined up here in front of me. I first learned about Clinique's T zone shine control. I used that for a long time and was happy with it. Then I learned about a bunch of others and thought I should shop around. Now that I think about it, I don't know if I've found anything better than that Clinique one... But anyway -

Dr. Brandt Pores No More - I really like this but I use it alone, not with a foundation. It's great for light days. With foundation, it would ball up a bit.

Smashbox Photo Finish Light - primer and mattifier in one. Works well at first but then the shine comes thru. I have to put one of the below ones on in addition. I'll use it til it's done but prob not buy again.

Smashbox Photo Finish Targeted Pore and Line Primer - this is like spackle! I find the spackle types do best. I put this over the foundation in my most shiny spots.

Smashbox Anti-Shine. I think this is my fav of the Smashbox ones. This one seems to last the longest.

L'Oreal Studio Secrets Primer, pink. Goes on nice, like souffle, but lasts about 15 min.

Nanoblur - did anyone else order this? i couldn't resist. It does work to some extent but again, when I put foundation on top of it, it balled up.

Anyone else have favs or flops?
