I love using this as a finishing powder, and throughout the day for touch-ups. I use it with the puff it comes with, and find that it gives me a more polished look when used over foundations, and...

This blotting powder does stop shine but can make you look ghostly if applied too much. I apply with a brush which helps. Does not really stop shine long term but does work well if applied...

Great control for shine and leaves with a perfect finish. I sometimes wear it alone. Will definately buy again but it lasts for so long!!

It's price is quite decent for what it does. However, I realize that it dries out my skin a little too much~ So I subtracted one lippie from it =) I wouldn't suggest you using the signature "MAC"...

The powder leaves a bit of a cakey look, even when applied with a ligh hand. I have sensative oily skin that tends to break out easily... I'd stick with toliet seat covers, to control my shine!

I'm glad I finally picked this up. I'd been using the NYC compact for several years thinking it was working well (plus, I was saving money)... but I found that on certain days, the powder would...

First of all, let me start by saying that blot powder, regardless of the shade you use is translucent with limited amounts of color. That said, it is not meant to be a setting powder as I have...

I've gone through 5 compacts so far (and the only reason I know that is because they have a recycling program!): yes, this is probably the best powder ever. My (large) pores disappear, it doesn't...

Blotting wise, I prefer Stila sheer pressed powder, but stila is just too flat to put any puff on it, so it's kind of inconvenient. With that said, MAC blot tend to get cakey if I sweat a lot on...

I really like this. It mattes oil completely without having in pigment. This will not oxidize on your skin like many MAC powders do. Just remember to go 1 shade darker than what you think you would...

This is one of very few products I keep buying again and again. It keeps my nose from looking oily for a long time without adding too much color; looks natural and matte. Excellent product.

Got this with all of the other studio makeup. Looked orangey on. Seemed to control oil a little, but not as well as EL or even clinique. Back it went with the rest of the MAC stuff.
