My Favourite Setting Powder: Soap and Glory One Heck of a Blot

First off I'd like to apologise for this blog being up later than usual! To keep up to date with my blog follow me on twitter @moondroptitle

I've used a lot of setting powders over the years both loose and pressed and I have to say that this bad boy surpasses every single one of them.

Three cheers for Soap and Glory's One Heck of a Blot!

It's a great product if you get passed the gimicky packaging

Words can't express how much I love this product but seeing as blogs are a word based medium I'll give it a go.

Pinched my sister's one cause it looked nicer!

Soap and Glory claims that it's "Amazing, addictive, invisible – an oil absorbing, shine controlling face powder for all skin types"

And I whole heartedly agree! I've used this on all of my clients and it suits everyone skin type wise. Dry - Aye! Combo - Aye! Oily- Aye! No matter what, I've been able to use this and build it up without it looking cakey or chalky. It's got an ridiculously lightweight, silky texture and it just sits on the skin so well without settling into any fine lines or scabby spots (makeup's arch nemesis!)

The only thing is that I'm not sure if it would go ashy on deeper skin tones. The darkest I have used it on is tanned olive skin tones and it still worked brilliantly. Even though the powder does go on incredibly clear it's hard to judge if it would go ashy on darker skin tones.

One Heck of a Blot is the only powder I've notice do a really

good job at controlling oil and sweat universally. I've used it on multiple fashion shows and the model's makeup always hold up really well with minimal touching up. And that's being in confined spaces and hot lights everywhere!

So it definitely gets the night out approval!

The only thing that kind of sets this powder back is availability and price. Only larger Boots stock Soap and Glory's makeup range. It can be avoided by ordering online but I know that sometimes you just want to feel a product before you buy and try.

It's also a bit pricey for a high street brand. Full price, this wee gem comes in at £12. Which is a lot! But considering that it's on par with higher end blotting powders like M.A.C's offering then I would say it is worth the money.

I will definitely be rebuying this for my kit and my own personal makeup when they run out!
