On days when you cant be bothered with powder, or when you simply forget to pack the shine-wicking setting product, blotting paper is your best bet. Unlike toilet paper or even tissue, blotting papers are made out of an extra-absorbent material that generally includes ingredients such as rice, cotton, and even flax seed. Much like powder or any other oil-sopping product on the market, blotting sheets work their magic by soaking up excess sebum on the skin, subsequently making it look and feel more matte. If you dont want your complexion to be completely shine-free, theyve still got you covered, as you can always just use the sheets to target specific areas you want mattified while leaving others — like your cheekbones — still dewy. More perks to using blotting papers? They dont disrupt your makeup and are portable, making them super-easy to tote around with you for mid-day touch-ups. Oh yeah, and theyre usually pretty wallet-friendly, too.
