MAC Blot Powder Review

I recently purchased this product and I am now hooked !! I have combination skin and this stuff is so light that it doesn't feel like wearing a mask, also blends well when you want to apply more to problem areas and less elsewhere - doesn't leave a noticeable line. Keeps the shine off the oily areas. Just love it :)

I love this. I have super SUPER oily skin and this is my favourite powder for setting my foundation in the morning. I end up with a matte finish and my foundation lasts for a lot longer. I use either my Real Techniques Multi Task Brush OR a cheap Manicare Powder puff to apply to my T zone. I got on to this product when I was at MAC moaning about my oily skin and the MUA suggested this, I've been delighted. Note, I did read a GREAT article by a former MAC MUA who actually slammed a lot of their products, but she did mention products that were excellent and totally worth your money. This powder was on the list of products she though were 'worth investing in'. Good to know!

this doesn't make your face cake its a perfect seal for your liquid foundations . it gives you such a natural finish not to matte and gets rid of shine for the hole day !

Well not with this wonderful powder. I get quite oily and this keeps my shine to a minimum. apply with the buffer provided or a big fluffy powder brush. It is suitable for all skin tones as it is translucent! xx

I'd use this on top of a liquid foundation to set it when you don't want a caked on look. It's light and blends very well and doesn't look overly "powdery" either, it also makes the foundation last way longer.

Though I haven't re-purchased one of these for a while, it is always a favourite of mine due to the fact that it is translucent. It works well to reduce any oil on the face without becoming too heavy. For someone like me who does have an oily complexion, this is a perfect on the go blotter for my handbag.

Normally I prefer more coverage for myself, however this is a staple item for any girls makeup purse! Perfect for touch-ups and works well if you are needing to change your base colour (due to spray tans, etc.) as it is not hugely pigmented so you save from having to purchase several colours of powders.

The compact is in the standard black plastic casing from MAC and is nice and sturdy so it doesn't break in my handbag. I find that I only use a small amount every time, so these last a very long time, making spending $60 on one very viable.

I use this on top of any foundation I am using as it always makes it look more professional and will decrease any shiny look after a few hours, I also take this in my purse if I am going out and take a small powder brush, this way if i get hot or sweaty, I can just go bathroom and blot my face and make it look fresh again.

I have been using this quite sometimes now and I love how it last all day without making my face looking shiny. The MAC Blot powder doesn't feel heavy on my face, the product is expensive but worth every dollar spent. I use the Sigma F30 - large powder brush and pat it on skin for best result.

Thought this product was effective but pricey - not necessarily worth it. I like to avoid products with mica and silica because they tend to clog my pores and cause breakouts after a few days, so I tried to limit my use of this product.

I have super oily skin! I use this powder to set my MAC prolong wear foundation. I just use the puff that it comes with as I like to put it in my bag and don't want to be carrying around brushes everywhere! This powder is amazing for my oily skin though and doesn't leave me feeling "caked" on. I've been using this for about a year now and will continue to use it!
