Highly Recommend

Maybelline Matte Maker is absolutely amazing for people who suffer from oily skin like myself....I use this to set my liquid foundation and absolutely love it. It feels very light on my skin and I don't need a lot to cover my whole face. i use the shade 30 natural beige and it blends so perfectly on my face and neck and doesn't make me look like I have a caked face. It also keeps the oily shine away! Hands down the best powder I have had in along time and also very cheap! Highly recommend!!!

Tips: use a thin lizzy brush

Maybelline Matte Maker Review

I have what seems like the darkest shade for this product line which is 50 Sun Beige. I bought this at Uncle Bills on sale for around $5 or $6 just to try out not expecting anything good but since it was a Maybelline product I was dead wrong. I love this powder to set my foundation or BB cream depending on what I am doing for the day and the amount of coverage I want. Because of my oily skin I sometimes powder my bare face to stop it looking shiny and gross.

This completely mattes out my skin like I hoped it would and is a nice light powder. I just use a kabuki brush or any other powder brush depending on whatever is clean and useable.

Definitely one of my favourite powders and lasts for quite sometime. The thin packaging makes it very easy to take around for touch ups if necessary. Will be repurchasing.

Tips: I find that there isn't much colour in the powder itself so there is no worry about colour matching.

Under the radar smash hit!

I'm currently using this finishing powder and I'm finding I get about 5 hours wear before the shine creeps in. This is comparable to the rimmel stay matte, but I think it might be ever so slightly better. There is no caking. I wear Mac N20 face & body fdtn and got this in Natural Beige so darker skin tones won't find a match here I suspect.

Tips: I actually use my RT buffing brush to work this into my foundation and I get amazing wear from it as well as a nice airbrushed finish

New favourite!

This powder is so good! Maybelline Matte Maker truly does what it says in its name. As well as mattifying the skin, this powder controls oil throughout the day and helps to set your makeup. It also doesn't cake on the skin. This is one of the only powders I've found that can stop mascara transferring onto my oily eyelids. The other powder being Maybelline fit me powder. The lightest shade is actually light enough for my extremely pale skin which is so difficult to find so I'm pretty chuffed with this product!

Tips: Don't have too much powder on the brush to avoid caking.

does what it says

I have bought this powder twice now, its cheap and does such a great job. I use it to set my foundation, its easy to use on either a brush (quick) or on a sponge. It makes my skin look flawless when I'm wearing it and lasts all day. Doesnt make me look cakey at all which is great in a powder, and it lasts so long as you only need a little bit. definitely worth having in your makeup bag/draw great to have on the go in your bag for a quick touch up if needed. I have recommended this to friends and they were just as happy with it as I am. Well worth the $15 I pay for it when I buy it.

Tips: Give it a go.

Matte Maker~

I brought this because I needed a cheap powder. The packaging is really simple and would be good if the compact came with a mirror but we can't all be perfect. ;) The powder is alright I use it to set my BB cream and it does what it says..."keeps the shine at bay" However if my skin is too dry it does cling to those patches but that's just my skin not really the product. To avoid dry spots clinging I just make sure to moisturize my face before applying my makeup and I also only use a little bit of the powder to take the shine off my face after applying BB cream.

Good, but not great

This product is great if you're on a budget! I bought it to keep in my bag for touching up during the day as I have oily skin so get shiny very quick and didn't want a super pricey product just for work days. This product definitely does what it says it does on application - mattifies and reduces shine which is why I rated the way I did. For me it lost marks though because within the hour my skin was shiny - not all day coverage! Not that I was expecting it at that price. So no I wouldn't repurchase but I do have very oily skin so I would probably recommend it for a friend to try.

God, is that you?

This stuff is literally a life saver, sent from above! I have finished my multiple flirtations with numerous other powders and I have found the one my soul loves. 1. The case is sturdy plastic, screw-on lid that promises no breakage or dismantling in your makeup bag. 2. This stuff is MATTE. I’m an oil slick. If I say this stuff works, IT WORKS. 3. No oxidation. 4. Has decent coverage without looking cakey or changing foundation colour. 5. Full price= under $20 NZD from Farmers. 6. Very smooth velvet finish, I have pimples, pores, wrinkles starting to form and small bumps...this powder does NOT emphasise. Obviously it does not magically make every lthing disappear, but second best eh? 7. No smell.

Defo found my new holy grail. RIP ME.

Tips: Paired with maybelline ‘fit me’ concealor and foundee it works a treat. Every day will be a good makeup day :-)

I need to repurchase this!

I found this on clearance years ago in Farmers and didn't really know what I was buying (those newbie days haha).

I applied this over my foundation as a finishing powder and really loved it! It soon became a product that I used daily!

It applies really smoothly and mattifies the face without making you feel heavy and cakey. I found it was easy enough to throw in my bag with a brush to use on the go, the packaging was quite robust!

I literally used this until I couldn't get anything else out of the pan, and now seeing it on here, reminds me I really need to repurchase this product!

Good inexpensive powder

I really like this for an inexpensive powder, it does what it says, and it keeps me matte long enough that I'm going to be wearing makeup. I mostly use it where I'm going to be applying my blush and bronzer. I also don't need to use a huge amount. I'd definitely recommend it though.
