I've use this for a while and I do love this and recommend for those who wants to battle shine on their complexion.
Before I got this powder, I used MAC Mineralized Skinfinish Natural in Medium Dark to set my foundation and that powder is great and all, but my skin tend to look too shiny after a while.
Then I watched a beauty vlogger that use MAC Blot Powder on top of the Mineralized Skinfinish Natural and she was giving praise to the product, so I was sold! I got it.
From MAC
Generally, I think my skin is less oily than it used to be, even in the summer or when I'm back in Ampang's hot tropical climate *generally my skin improved with age, lol*. I still use this but more sparingly and really that's enough.
I have not got any bad reaction from this and I trust this product. Though this product is a simple science of being heavy with MICA and SILICA which absorbed the oil, as MAC has clearly claimed. So those who obviously have problem with these ingredients, just stay away or use it to your own risk.
When I had issue with flaky dry skin I would avoid using this or just use this on tip of my nose *because oily nose tip is never flattering* as I think it's unnecessary. I wouldn't say this powder worsen it though.
One thing I notice, when comparing Medium Dark Blot Powder with the one from Mineralized Skinfinish Natural, it's lighter in shade. So it does not really matches my skin tone and I'm annoyed as it does give off a bit of ashyness after I got the 'perfect' second skin look with my Mineralized Skinfinish Natural. Nevertheless, it is light in texture so it doesn't affect much. Probably if I get my exact shade it looks better? or better, if it's a translucent instead.
The compact is fine, come with a mirror and the price is MAC standard, £20.00.
It last long as you don't need to use much so it's worth the spend.
Overall I am satisfied with this product but I'm not sure if I want to repurchase it. I would like to try a real translucent powder since I notice the issue *the only one* I had with this.
So I will try MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder as that claim to mattify as well. We'll see how that goes.
Rate: 4.5 out of 5
PS: I got the MAC Prep+Prime powder, but I haven't use that yet. I just realized I had not done any shopping hall this semester. Maybe because I'm ashamed of how crazy ignorant shopaholic I've become, lol. A bit too late don't you think for a haul? hehe.

The MAC Blot Powder does reduce my shininess and oiliness and I think my makeup last better and my Mineralized Skinfinish Natural work better with this powder. This combination gave me a natural glow with reduced shine.You definitely don't need much and currently I don't wear it as much as before. I used to dust it like crazy before when it's actually not necessary, but I learned now.
