MAC Powders

trixie · Kenneth Cole

I love MAC Blot powder!!!!! I have very shiny skin and it takes away that mid-day shine without looking like you just glopped a bunch of powder or makeup on. It's sheer and colorless so it looks very natural while still doing the job.

Oh it's colorless? Hmm, I didn't realize that. Can it take the place of the powder I currently use that has color, meaning will it work as a cover up or does it just blot shine?

I love Blot Powder too. It is a translucent powder but it comes in 3 different shades.
It's not going to cover anything up though. I use foundation or concealer for that.

Ok, let me explain. Right now I use a coverup concealor and then I use powder over that. Could this take the place of that powder?

i love blot powder. i love how it doesn't have a built up look to it.

But what I'm really interested to know is if the Blot powder can replace the power I currently use over my coverup? The powder I use right now has color to it.

Since you already have a concealer taking care of the color issue, using the colorless Blot would still set the concealer, which I've always thought was the purpose to using powder. HTH.

I love the blot powder too. You probably could use it after foundation or concealer, but I still use my regular powder, but all I carry in my purse is the blot powder. It really is great, and I think that it lasts a long time.
