Sometimes you use a makeup product that often, you almost forget how amazing it actually is. I'm talking about the Blot Pressed Powder by MAC (I use the colour Dark, with matches my complexion perfectly). This pressed product is a powder you use to mattify your skin (hello shine control), without adding any noticeable colour or texture. It's sets foundation and finishes faces. You can apply this in the morning, but also during the day for easy touch ups. When I'm on the go I apply the pressed powder with the puff (easy to clean with a little shampoo) that comes in the compact, but at home I use a big blush brush.
Why I like it? Because it always works. Whether I'm on my way for lunch or on holiday it always does the job. Meaning it takes off that greasy shine we don't want, but let's the pretty sheen shine through, we do want. But also because I like the fact that it's a pressed powder. Loose powder becomes such a mess, especially when traveling (and I'm always afraid the pot will open en ruin the inside of my bag or suitcase). Anyway, I just don't like working with loose powders. It's just not for me. Packaging-wise it's a slim black compact (like all MAC makeup) with a mirror inside. This way it's like it was made for traveling inside my makeup bag.
