It mattifies the skin but doesn't make it feel dry.  Instead, it has a smooth and blurred effect.  I have pretty bad smile lines and this does the job of getting rid of them quite well, but not entirely.     

gets rid of shine effectively, just make sure to buff out excess to not leave an ashy finish

I was exited when I first bought this product because I heard many good thing about it, but I was a little disappointed. It leaves a white powdery look to my makeup

very good, recommended!
