Blot Powder - Medium/Dark

Don’t believe the hype! This is a terrible powder. After seeing all the positive reviews I thought I should give it a go. Big mistake. First thing I noticed was the way it sat on my skin, it just looked really powdery and didn’t settle into my skin at all. It also doesn’t adhere to my skin very well when I blotted.....it actually pulled my foundation off my face rather than mattifying.....so …Read more

I finally found my shade!! I’m NC20/25 I’ve never been dark/deep in anything in my life except this. I’m barely medium-light in most powders. I would say this runs pale to an extreme.

I wanted to like this one. Used it once and it didn't absorb any oiliness on my face.
Returned it and excahnged for MakeUp Forever Ulta HD instead.

Although the color I use is called Medium/Dark, it is quite a light, translucent powder. It is somewhat hard to the touch and it doesn't look as if the brush picks up much product, however it works fine. It reduces the oil and shine and does not look heavy. I think I wouldn't replace it simply because I'd like to try some other product.

I have oily, NC30-35 skin and in natural light the shade "Medium Dark" works for my skin tone. This product is honestly just meh. I used this as a setting powder and for oil touchups throughout the day. The first application is not bad if you apply with a light hand but this powder will catch onto any slightly dry spots and emphasize them.

However, the problem comes when you …Read more

I bought this pressed powder in Medium Dark about 2 years ago. Surprisingly, for being NC30-35, they call this shade Medium Dark which matches. I'm thinking their shade names are not quite accurate as I'm usually a light medium or a medium. But anyway, this product comes in a standard MAC package. Matte black snap with a mirror at the top and comes with a cushion pad to apply the …Read more

Firstly I really like this product, I have acne prone skin that looks oily very quickly and this helps to mattify my skin throughout the day. Repeated application is definitely needed (for me at least anyway) however even without reapplication i'm left with only a dewy look rather than an oil slick. Additionally it does not look even a little bit cakey, even with heavy application (hard to …Read more

THE BEST mattifying powder I've ever used! I've tried Sephora brand mattifying powder and MUFE hd translucent powder but the lasting power were really shitty, nothing come close to MAC blot.

This is the last step in my makeup application, lightly brushed with a kabuki brush and it lasts 5 hours before the oils start peeking thru my t-zone. For reference i'm NC25 - NC30 …Read more

I love this powder! I apply this to my t-zone once my makeup is set. It lasts all day for me. We were moving for 7-8 hrs in the summer sun, 100% humidity, no winds/fan/a.c and I looked exactly the same as I did 8 hrs prior. No exaggerations, no touch ups, no nothing..My bf said it was amazing lol because my body was drenched in sweat but my face was matte and makeup perfect. Thanks Mac for …Read more

Great product. Sets my oily T zone without looking cakey or too powdery and obvious. It even leaves a somewhat satiny finish on my dewy foundation, its not overly matte which is great because I hate the unnatural flat matte look you get from most blot powders (looking at you rimmel/maybelline)

Apart from the lovely natural finish it also has great lasting power. I've already …Read more
