… well okay, you’ll need it less (‘Cause we do love powder after all). Oily and greasy skin? Yup, we have been there too. And surely powder is a very good thing when doing your makeup the first time. But when the oil sneaks up on us during the day, 10 layers of powder doesn’t really do us any good.
When oiliness sets in - blotting paper is the one product you’ll need to avoid a cake face or looking like a shiny discoball. They reduce shine by absorbing the oil and keep you looking fresh during the day (and night!) without messing up your makeup. This is a handbag essential for everyone with oily skin!
Since we love multitasking products, here are two other ways to use your blotting papers!
- To set your makeup. Pat your face after applying creamy products, by absorbing the excess oil it will help the makeup stay put longer. Same goes for the lips. Apply a layer of lipstick, blot and finish with a second layer.
- As a Stand in for dry shampoo. (In case of emergency!) It won’t really do the trick like actual dry shampoo but by massaging the blotting paper into your roots it will absorb some of the unwanted oils.
