In the middle of the lid it says MAC and around that it tells us what this product actually is. That’s what sets this packaging apart from the other MAC powder product packagings. The powder comes in an all black compact without a part where you can see through the packaging. It’s about this specific product and its packaging. They looked sooooo much prettier in my opinion! Anyway, that’s not what this is about. You guys, I really wish MAC would go back to those packagings. You know, the ones without the bulky black part. I really like the look of it since it reminds me of the other old MAC packagings. The MAC Blot Powder Pressed comes in this really pretty looking compact.

So if you want to find out what my experience was like with this powder and whether or not I prefer it over loose powder, make sure you continue reading! I’ve been using it for over a month now, so today it’s finally time for the review. I ended up buying the MAC Blot Powder Pressed because that’s the one I had been eyeing for a while.

Because my skin type has changed a bit throughout the year I decided it was time for me to give pressed powder another chance. You always spill powder everywhere and on the go they are even more inconvenient. However, I did always hate the fact that they are so messy. I found that they worked better for my oily skin type and therefore I stuck with them for the longest time.

It's official: you can forget the thick, cakey formulas of yesteryear and instead, call on the new guard to keep your makeup in place, ward off shine, blur lines and give seamless coverage. Our Skin Based Powder is also great to set under eye concealer, to help minimise mascara fall out, as well as to prevent creasing into fine lines."

It can also be used throughout the day to absorb any oil build up or to refresh the coverage of your foundation. Illamasqua Head Makeup Artist, Mel Barrese, told us: "If you struggle with oil control throughout the day, simply dust the powder on top of your foundation and concealer, concentrating on the T-Zone.

Ask the pro makeup artists and they've switched jumbo powder makeup brushes for dinky blending brushes (not much bigger than your eyeshadow brush) as well as Beauty Blenders, to distribute a delicate veil of powder that sinks in imperceptibly. Forget window-washer movements across your entire face, instead opt for tactical application, just where you need it (lightly under eyes, around the nose and across the T-Zone to ward off shine). Techniques around application have come on, too. In addition, careful attention has been paid to undertones, with Glossier, Charlotte Tilbury and Revolution offering silky soft powders in a range of shades. Laura Mercier's Loose Setting Powder is one of the best face powders on the market. And "translucent" setting powders have been overhauled so that, for the most part, they actually do what they say on the tin – note: ashy beige formulas do not count as translucent. Oil-mopping has become more refined – featherlight powders absorb excess moisture but settle into an invisible veil on skin. It really works, blends easily and sets your base make-up for flawless skin all day. Elsewhere, editor-adored Illamasaqua recently launched the ultra-fine Skin Base Pressed Powder which has a smoother-than-ever velvet-matte finish to help blur imperfections and absorb shine. Case in point: By Terry's Hyaluronic Hydra-Powder which contains powder-encapsulated spheres of hyaluronic acid, dispensing a seamless sweep of cashmere-soft, oil-balancing powder across the skin while the hydrating microspheres that settle into lines to plump them out and prevent creasing. Many big beauty brands are now offering face powders that promise to smooth, set and hydrate our complexions.
