Super-Mattifying Blotting Papers
If you’re between 18 and 45, you’re probably familiar with the midday shine problem. Most women don’t get through the day without getting just a little bit… slick. That’s why blotting papers may be the most essential beauty secret there is. Simply press one of these oil-absorbing papers against your skin on the shiny spots, and you’re suddenly matte. It looks like you’ve just applied your makeup. We love these blotting papers especially, because they each offer something a little extra.
