Hmmm, I use primer too but since I have very oily skin, my face tends to shine mid-day causing my makeup to smudge. It might just be the primer. I use the eye primer from urban decay as well and can confirm that it's good, but haven't tried the face version. Since oil never breaks out on my eyes (just t-zone area), I can't say if the face version will work. I should test it by using the eye primer on my t-zone and see. Urban decay also has this mattifying cream that I use where you dab it on the areas of your face (over your makeup) where it normally shines due to oil seepage. It's suppose to block oil/moisture by hydrating the area, giving your skin a matte look. Bought it at a Sephora in Vegas since it worked so well while I was there. Once I got back home to Hawaii though, even that couldn't keep the oil out. Probably because of the humidity.
