Benefit License To Blot | Review


Don't you just love a new Benefit release? They don't release too often that you lose track of what they've released, but often enough so that you don't get bored of them. I really don't think I could ever be bored of Benefit! A lot of Benefit's releases for me are amazing and have been some of the most used make up in my collection, but a lot of the time I've been a little sceptical at first until I've tried it. License to Blot is another one of those products that I'm feeling sceptical about as there is literally no other product on the market like it...

But the fact there's no other product on the market like it, I was drawn in. Of course there are blotting papers on the market, but I tend to stick to the old fashioned way of powdering my nose. But this is a stick, that you can apply before and after make up application... What!? I know you can also use the Porefessional primer before and after make up too but this is for blotting.

So I decided apply it before doing my make up on a day where I knew I would have a full face all day long. I focused on my most oily parts of my face which for me is just my nose and the space around it (I have combination skin) and you could see right away that it took away the shine, it mattified the look of my skin and definitely did what it said on the tin. YAY! It's not just a gimmicky product! But of course I still had to test it on the top of my make up.

After my shift at work I got home and I could see that the oily areas of my face has started to shine so no better time than to pull out my License to Blot, right?! So I did the same as I had done in the morning and applied it to my nose, but in a slight more gentle fashion so I didn't disturb my make up. Again it did the job, those areas did indeed mattify my problem areas, therefore reducing shine.

BUT, (sorry there is a but here) when I applied it on top of my make up it had removed some of the foundation from my face and gotten the License to Blot stick a bit... Mucky. I weren't too pleased with that honestly...

Overall I do think this is an amazing product, I love it underneath my make up as I feel it does hold off the shine from coming through quite as quickly as it would've done. But as in terms of blotting, I think I'm going to stick to my good old Rimmel Stay Matte Powder!
