I love and hate this product. I have combo/oily skin that is sensitive and breakout prone. Mac blot provides a nice matte canvas and keeps my oilies at bay for hours. However, this powder clogs...

This stuff is one of the best makeup products I've ever used in terms of it being a "life changing" item. I have very oily skin, and this keeps the oilies at bay way longer than any other powder...

The only powder I ever use. o It looks very natural on - if you pick the right color, it will look invisible on your skin. o Does a beautiful job making my skin matte. o I can reapply however...

Tried this two times already and I noticed feeling itchy after. Still in the search for a good blot/finishing powder that does not break me out. Any suggestions?

I simply bought this for the convenience of having a pressed powder to touch up my nose when I'm out and about. I was also instantly drawn to the fact that it has a mirror; I can easily use this...

I find myself reaching for this the most when I'm out. I just don't find oil blotting sheets convenient. I have it in medium dark and I have an NC 37 skintone. Throughout the day, I get noticeably...

I am almost startled by all the overwhelmingly positive reviews on this. I bought this with high hopes, and was let down. I don't know if my skin is irrepressibly oily or what, because this really...

I am very pale, so i got this in light. It is a perfect match for me. I get oily during warm months, and this keeps my face matte without drying it out. It is expensive, but i do only need to use a...

WOW. This product sucks all the oil out of my face! Leaving me with a beautiful matte Finnish. I also use it to set my foundation which REALLY helps it last for a good 6 hours with no touch ups....
