Blot is a powder product, available in both loose and pressed form aimed to remove excess oil/shine throughout the day. The powders are very light and finely milled to ensure that you cannot see the powder once applied to the skin. A regular powder would soon start to look cakey if applied too many times. I own both formulas: I keep the pressed compact in my handbag to use throughout the day, whilst the loose powder stays at home and is sometimes used to set my foundation in the morning. I prefer the pressed, since it is easier to use, less messy and more portable. If you are very oily, it is recommended that you use oil absorbing sheets prior to ...  Read the complete review

Mac Blot - Mac This is absolutely the best powder in the world! I know - I've tried 'em all. (I think) Best, that is for normal through to oily skin. Dry skins will probably need something more emollient Before it was on sale in this country I used to import the stuff from America, at quite ridiculous cost (especially if customs slapped duty on the package) What makes this so fantastic? Well it's the most finely milled powder I've ever found. That means there's never any clogging at all, no matter how many times you dab it on during the day. It comes it a traditional compact which has the advantage of being very ...  Read the complete review

I bought some of this MAC blot powder because I found that the face powder I had at the time (an Estee Lauder loose powder) was too light for my skin tone. Since my powder at the time was a loose powder, it was just way too clumsy and bulky to take in my purse and apply or touch up on the go. As I'd already bought some MAC blushes, eye shadow and lipsticks, I knew the quality would be good so I just had to try out some of their face make up and see if that works just as well as their other stuff. I also heard that if you recycle 6 of your MAC cases, you get to choose a free lipstick. I was also quite pleased with the overall price of MAC products. ...  Read the complete review

I'm on my second compact of this. It definitely controls oil, no need to touch up during the day (good for my combination skin) and I like how it's translucent. However, having said that, I found a few negatives to this Blot Powder. Firstly, even though I purchased the medium shade, it was a bit white on my skin (which gave a fake pasty white colour if I wasn't careful on how much I applied) but on most days it looked pretty good. Secondly, the powder puff it comes with picks up too much powder, and doesn't deliver it all onto the skin. The puff picks up the powder and sort of absorbs it in the material. A good tip when using the ...  Read the complete review
