Do you start the morning with matte, fresh looking skin only to find that by the time 5 p.m. rolls in you re a shiny mess? If you have oily skin then blotting papers are a beauty godsend. Don t use powder to soak up the oil. Using too much periodically throughout the day will make your skin appear cakey because you re just layering makeup on top of more makeup. Opt for blotting papers instead. They will soak up all the oil. We love We love Sephora s blotting papers.
