"Product itself:
I like this product, but I don't love it.
It's really nice to have when you are in a rush and can't do your normal makeup routine. It feels very silky and smooth, as if it instantly turns into powder once you blend it in.
I prefer to wear this alone, because it causes my makeup to look very caked on and blotchy, and even spotty as my makeup would seem to sink into my pores more than blend all over my skin. Especially on my nose.
I recommend that you shake the bottle before each use! It begins to turn runny and watery a couple weeks after it's been opened.
Also, many have mentioned a bad smell. I did definitely notice the smell, but it is not bad to me. It's just very perfumed, but nothing offensive like chemicals. I can understand how this can be unpleasant to some, as it is a little strong. Though the scent does seem to fade as you wear it.
It's fairly long lasting, at least 6 to 8 hours before my skin gets oily again. I'm pleased with that!
Packaging:
The packaging is very appealing and pretty!
Although I've noticed that air seems to get inside of it a lot, causing it to splatter out kind of like ketchup or mustard does.
All in all....
Pros: great for wearing by itself, long lasting.
Cons: becomes watery, air bubbles in package, not great as a primer for makeup."

Instant perfection? Not this product! :(

"Well, I've used this for...months. I was happy with it for mainly one reason. That reason would be: NO OILY SKIN WHILE I'M AT SCHOOL! WOOHOO!!!
Okay, now that I have that out of my system lets get this review started.
The description of this product is wrong. The description treats this product like a saint!
1. "makes all skin tones look flawless" Yeah right. Not for me at least.
2."instant perfection" ...do I really have to explain that?
This does not make you look flawless and it's NOT a miracle worker. I find that it does help with shine (but it's not like I'm constantly looking in a mirror to check for shine.) When I first put this on I thought my skin tone did look a tad more even, but I didn't really notice a difference after that. But it does make my skin smooth and soft! Also, when I first discovered this product I thought "Wait, gel to powder? How?" So I got curious, read most of the reviews and decided to purchase it.
I have read quite a few reviews saying they don't like the smell...I don't know what they were smelling. It smells like a watery, powdery scent which I find to be light and pleasant . :)
Don't purchase this product thinking this will make your skin look perfect or flawless. Purchase it to keep away the oil all day. It certainly worked for me. I have very oily skin! It's as oily as [insert simile here]!
Let's talk about a few more negative comments about this product that other customers had to say.
-Product smells strong: As I've said before, it's a light scent. It won't be strong if you only use a little, and a little is all you need! So don't go overboard with it.
-Made my skin oily: I understand it can make some people's skin oily and that everyone is different. I just put a little of Magix on my nose (most oily part on my face) and it automatically made my nose smooth, slightly powdery, and the oil was gone fast. It will absorb the oil. However, I find that after school or during school if I really feel my nose I can feel all of the oil that was absorbed sort of...get out again. This only happens like 3 hours after I put it on. My suggestion, just don't feel the place where you put Magix...let it be. But anyways, it didn't make my skin oily, but if I touch the spot where I put it (as if I'm wiping it off with my finger) I will feel the oil it was keeping off my face so it's like it was released back out.
-Doesn't make my skin even: I agree. When I first tried Magix, it seemed very slightly more even but after that I didn't notice a difference.
-I didn't see a difference: I didn't either. But I FELT a difference. It's hard to see the difference if there is one.
-It made me look pale: When I first put this on, I looked very close in the mirror. Small, white, powdery particles on my face. It sort of made my face pale (thought it really wasn't noticeable.) If you're fair skinned, you might want to think twice about this product, or just use it sparingly on your T zone.
Do not expect a lot out of this product, because you will wind up disappointed after reading many rave reviews.
Do expect this will help most people with oily skin.
After much debate on whether to give this product 5 stars for doing it's job on my oily skin, or 4 stars for all the flawless coverage claims.
I decided to stick with 4 stars. The hype over this product is a little annoying. Most people decided to give it a 5 for doing an amazing job on oily skin, BUT missed the point that it claims to give you "instant perfection" and a "flawless" look. Which I find to be so not true.
Hmm...I think it would be best to not rely greatly on a 5 star review unless they provide numerous reasons to why they like it, describe the product, and provide at least one con (even if it's something small that doesn't really matter.) Cause no product is perfect.
Well, I hope my long review has been helpful to you and that Magix Face Perfector works for you if you do decide to purchase it! :)"
