NARS definitely feels heavy, and the e.l.f loose powder oxidizes badly on my skin.
Loose powders, even when I apply them with a brush, tend to feel heavier on the skin. I use the MAC blot powder over every single foundation to absorb oil and set makeup.
If I use Bourjois Flower Perfection Foundation which dries matte (and smells wonderful), my face makeup would stay on at least a few hours longer than if I had the Lancome Blanc Miracle Foundation, which has more of a hydrating formula. Then again, it really depends on what primer and foundation I have under the MAC Blot Powder Pressed. For shine to show only after 5 hours means a lot for my oily skin already! If I didn’t use the MAC Blot Powder to set liquid foundation, my face would look greasy in half the time. But I have oily skin, and in the typical hot and humid Singapore weather, the oilies usually start to show probably after 5 hours. Oilies begone with the MAC Blot Powder Pressed? Hmmm, I guess if you have oily/combination skin, then it will keep oil at bay. You should see how much trouble I went through to transfer the NARS Loose Powder just so that I don’t have to lug a huge container that threatens to spill its contents at each tilt. Loose powders are also not very travel-friendly. I could never deal with the hassle of being very careful not to get the powder all over the place when I open the cover, take product, close the cover, and the mess of every step of the way. I tried my hardest to like loose powder I’ve tried the range from expensive ones like NARS to drugstore ones like e.l.f.
Before I even had the time to write a fabulous review on the MAC Blot Powder Pressed, it has unknowingly panned out on me! I didn’t expect it… I only use it erm, every single time I apply makeup… Heh heh.
