But combine a hot sunny day + dimethicone + sweat and for the next few days you’ll be cursing yourself for ever applying this stuff to your face. If only it didn’t clog my pores, I would love the stuff, because it helps my foundation to be more water & sweat resistant. That’s probably what causes this powder to feel heavy and waxy.
I thought that only liquid products like primers & foundation contained this, so didn’t even think to check before using the powder.

I checked the ingredients in MAC Blot & found that it has Dimethicone (silicone) which always causes breakouts on me.

My skin was a mess – had at least 10 breakouts. During the time I used the compact, this happened repeatedly, so I started storing the puff upside down to prevent oil transfer. I scraped off the top layer to reveal the fresh powder underneath. I saw that skin oils had transferred from the puff to the compact, giving the powder an oily sheen. One look in the mirror confirmed my fears – I was greasy, blotchy & the powder had settled into my pores.Īfter I re-did my makeup, I used the Mac Blot to set it. By this time my face felt like it was caked in powder. With no time to worry about makeup, we hopped back in line for the coasters and finished our day around 7pm. I was impressed that it didn’t disturb my foundation.Īfter a while I was oily again, so I re-powdered. On the White Water Safari Coaster, my face got pretty wet, but the water just kind of beaded up & dried by itself. I did a quick touch up with the MAC Blot, but realized it was starting to feel kind of heavy and thick. I caught a glimpse of myself in a metal napkin holder, and my face was reflective with oil. After a few hours of roller coaster fun, we took a break to get some food. The finish looked nice and fresh again, so figured I was good to go. The one downside is its price point – at SGD$44 it’s slightly higher than average (especially when compared with other mass market alternatives such as Innisfree’s No Sebum Mineral Pact that sells for a quarter of the price).I patted the MAC Blot over my foundation, being careful not to streak my makeup. As a blotting powder, it helps mattify the skin and create a filtered no-pore effect, which is all good for me too. When used as a setting powder on top of a foundation or a BB cushion, I like it – you get a velvet finish on your skin. Since it’s in a landscape rectangle, I actually find it a little small – I can only see 50-70% of my face when holding it at a reasonable distance for touch-ups. The recessed area is in top lid of the casem which houses the mirror. there’s no recessed area for the puff to sit in, so you’ll have to exercise a little more care when closing the case). That said, application using the puff isn’t my favourite method – there’s no strap on the puff for you to slide your fingers into, and the puff also sits atop the powder pan (i.e. The Verdict: I like that this powder has a very faint violet/lilac tone to it, so you don’t get that pure white ashy finish when you apply a thick layer to your face. However, if you’ve got scabs or dry flakey skin, this will definitely show up. This Invisimatte powder goes on pretty okay on my oily combi skin without caking. The Texture: Relatively fine, but not the finest of powder grains I’ve encountered ( Make Up For Ever’s Ultra Hd Microfinishing Pressed Powder takes the cake for that). It comes with a fluffy puff applicator, but there’s the additional option of buying a retractable brush that adheres to the side of the compact magnetically. At 2cm tall, it’s rather thick for a pure powder compact.
One thing I do note tho is that it’s rather “bulky”. The Packaging: It’s a rather regularly-sized compact measuring 8.5cm long x 6.5cm. There’s an angled indent of the case, which is meant to magnetically attached to a brush (that’s sold separately) Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Invisimatte Blotting Powder – SGD$44 Lemme start with this Invisimatte Blotting powder, which I’ve whipped out to use cos of le oily combination skin. Fenty Beauty seems to be taking over the beauty scene at the ‘mo eh? I know they’ve got that huge range of 40 foundation shades (which I’ve yet to try), a whole buncha MatchStix for your skin and highlight/contour purposes etc, and also those highlighter duos.
