I have a combination skin which treats me badly in MUMBAI’s MAUSAM , i can easily judge i am feeling sweaty and oily as soon as i step out and my makeup will soon go in vain no matter how carefully i would have applied , so i was looking for a good Powder to set my makeup and then i visited my fav store MAC … u know my MACness:)
and after going through all the stuff which would help me with that i decided upon MAC’s BLOT POWDER in MEDIUM DARK …. and i am so much Loving and it has become my HG powder , i do have some others but i love it and would re-purchase it in any form
the color is perfect match for me i am NC35 in Studio Fix powder and Medium Dark in this , i dont know what is this all about coz i am Medium Plus in MAC’s MSF ??? so really no brain applying here i am enjoying all of them…
i decided to buy pressed one coz its easy to carry around in a bag it has a mirror and an applicator , but i noticed i really dont need much touchups so next time i might buy a powder one , its just my personal opinion:)
for Price at 1200/- Rs you might find it expensive but again you wont regret i bet coz it just gives your oily face a flawless finish , to me foundation is a NO NO i am very much happy with this and frankly speaking i bought it way before my any foundation from MAC
MY Take – A must for oily skin gals and hey if your skin is normal you can still try it , its one of the best powders MAC has to offer 🙂
Love
RASHMI

Mumbai Humidity is just deadly when it comes to make-up. This sounds like a good arsenal in the kits of all oily skinned women 🙂

yeah i hate it u know 🙂 when i go to my home town JAIPUR i never use much of the setting powder stuff am always good but here i just cant skip that step 🙂
mac guru..
whts the difference between pressed powder,loose setting powder and skin finishes…..?and what product is used fr wht?
dear shilpa 🙂
pressed powder ??? pressed powder is a form of powder which is pressed …
we have 2 forms of powder – loose and pressed
mac has pressed powder form and loose powder form for their Foundation , Blot Powder , mineralize foundation , select sheer , iridescent powder and quite a few …
if u have oily skin go for blot powder depends upon how u like pressed or loose form … loose form is much famous but is not conveinent … so i bought this one
if u r dry skin go for select sheer which set ur makeup and gives little shine and not dries ur skin
if u r normal skin or just happy with ur look u can try set powder which again is a good stuff comes in loose powder form and now
Mineralize skin finish MSF natural is a crazy stuff used to set ur foundation or use as it is to get all over face glow
i hope this helps
love
shilpa MSF comes in diff colors too like the new limited edition launch which is used as highlighter or blush but …
MSF natural can be used on face if ur skin matches or if u want u can get a darker color to contour ur face i think my friend GAEA has one in dark color coz she is good at contouring 🙂
and do u use this pressed powder jst like that ..i mean on bare face????
yes shilpa as i am not much a foundation person i do use it on T zone or sometimes on face 🙂

Hi Rashmi
For oily skin would u suggest MAC Studio fix powder foundation or MAC blot powder?
hello anu
if you are open to both i would say buy both of them …
but if there is any preference i would say blot powder is a must
blot powder comes in 2 forms loose and pressed … pressed is more handy while loose is more famous i wonder why ?
see both in person and then decide …
and next time go for studio fix pressed 🙂
i hope this helps dear:)
