Is it actually MATTE?
As a gal that uses Mineral SPFs, my first couple of uses had a couple learning curves. Just a pea sized amount goes along way. Use any more than that it feels too slippy. Unfortunately, I feel like it never sets or melts into the skin. However, I have pretty normal/combo skin but for a chemical SPF ...

Not for sensitive or oily skin
Let's start with the positives. As a Black woman I like that this sunscreen doesn't leave a white overcast on my skin. The gel formula is also thick and creates a smooth surface for makeup.

Make it Matte is my least favorite product by BGS
Make it Matte (MIM) was a pass for me This product is not for the body, it's only for the face. Unlike the moistening sunscreen lotions, MIM burns my eyes if I apply it on my eyelids or if water gets on my face.This does NOT happen with the lotions
Love this product!!
I have been using Make it Matte for over a year and I absolutely love it. The way it feels when applied and how it holds its matte finish under my makeup is phenomenal. It is the perfect blend of protection and primer for me. I will be purchasing my 3rd tube in the very near future. Thank you BGS!
Happy I tried it , it's meh
I'm a tan girl & love trying sunscreen . This one is for those no makeup days . It does not wear well under makeup. It's totally clear , wasn't a see to that . Anyway I will not purchase it again or recommend it.
A must have!
I've always used black girl sunscreen and my hyperpigmentation is much better because of it . Definitely in my skincare routine to stay 🤗

Blends In Well - Not Sure If Its Actually Matte
This lasts all day on me. It blends in great with no white cast. It tingles at first and is a bit more shiny than I expected for matte. Overall, it is my go-to sunscreen for right now and definitely can give glass skin effect.
