I currently use studio fix fluid and msf natural, but i want to buy a pressed powder compact for touch ups during the day and nights out etc. Im not sure whether to get the select sheer pressed powder in my colour, or blot powder. In your experience what is better ? i like a flawless look.
Thanks in advance

If you want oil control, definitely go for blot powder. It's my favorite pressed powder and I've tried my fair share.

Yup I agree, definitely the blot powder if you want to control oil. I use studio fix fluid and msf natural too!

I have both and I prefer Blot Powder; I think it's more long-lasting. I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but I hate the smell of Select Sheer Powder. It's the only powder I can detect any kind of smell from and it's unpleasant! I thought at first it must be the sponge in the compact but it's the powder itself and every one I've had has been the same. Yuck!

i have both and both are good in controlling oil for me (combination skin). sometimes the blot powder makes me look flakey, i guess because i didn't moisturize well enough or it happens when i haven't cleaned my brush in a while. fix+ fixes that problem though. i like the texture of select sheer but i find that it makes me look darker even though it's sheer. i use sff nc40 and when i put nc40 select sheer on top, it made me look darker than how i normally would with blot.
