Since stepping up my skincare game almost a year ago, I have experienced less issues with oiliness than I used to but I am still more oily than most. That's where this beauty comes in handy. When I wear makeup my oily skin is made more apparent after a certain amount of time, this blotting powder is a life saver for when I start looking greasy. I use the light/medium shade but it's almost translucent, the compact is lovely and sturdy, very good quality and houses a good mirror. The formula of this is what makes it so excellent and stand out against other powders. It's very finely milled and soft, the powder feels thin and doesn't add too much coverage when applied. I prefer something like this over a powder foundation (Australis Fresh & Flawless is my go-to foundation) for touch ups, especially if it's earlier in the day. Suffering from oily skin means more touch ups than most but it can also lead to cake face, which isn't pretty and that's why this is my HG because it looks like nothing on the skin, it melts in and mattifies the area so well.

Tips: If you're super oily I suggest using blotting sheets first and then pressing this into the skin with a powder puff.
This powder is a recent favourite of mine! When used over top of a liquid foundation, it gives a matte finish that lasts all day. The powder is very lightweight and doesn't cake up at all or crease on your skin . The only downside is that I find it leaves you looking a bit powdery - but this is easily solved with a spritz of a setting spray. I will definitely be repurchasing this product - it gives a lightweight, long-lasting matte finish as it claims to.
I bought this powder on recommendation from Sally Jo on Youtube and have not been disappointed! It definitely does what it said it would and has been my go-to for powdering all over and for under eyes! It has minimal creasing (everything seems to crease slightly under my eyes) and doesn't oxidize on my face which is a bonus. The only downfall would be the colour selection, I'm quite pale but I can happily wear the medium so I'm not sure how it would wear on a medium skin-toned person!
Other than that I would definitely repurchase it's very versatile!
