Say goodbye to shine forever with this brand spanking new mattifier

When you have oily skin, it is always such a pleasure when a new oil control product comes out. It's even more of a pleasure when it's by one of your all-time favourite brands.

There are hundreds of mattifying products out there. I should know, I've spent my life searching for something to stop the shine. I always find the cream ones tend to make my foundation separate and the powder ones make my foundation look too "cakey". It's always been a challenge to find one that just does exactly what it says on the tin. For me anyway.

Until now.

• Murad Matt Effect €37.50

This little compact is my new favourite mattifier. Not only do I love the grey and pink packaging but the pore perfecting complex works wonders. The product reminds me of the cushion foundations that have recently become popular; only the formula is baby pink. The application is easy as its lightweight, and although it is liquid, it dries quickly and absorbs into thin air leaving a soft and matte finish which is perfect for foundation application.

This quirky little product can be used even to top up over makeup throughout the day without ruining it.
