Naturally, being translucent it doesn’t offer any coverage, so I do need to reapply concealer on any red blemishes that begin to rear their ugly heads at the lunchtime mark. Once applied, One Heck of a Blot is totally invisible and controls oil for around six hours. The powder is finely milled and buttery in texture, meaning it won’t ever look heavy. I apply mine to my t-zone using a powder brush to set my make up each morning. It does what it says, but it does it exceptionally well. In terms of the powder itself, there’s not much to say really.
(Bad blogger.) But, you can get a glimpse of One Heck of a Blot in all it’s glory here. Of course I could have always taken the snaps once in our tropical paradise, but the thought never occurred to me in my frozen daiquiri haze. But, as you can imagine the last few hours before our trip were quite hectic, to say the least. The powder itself once said POWder! Doesn’t it make you want to BAM! WHAM! POWDER! and high kick around the room? No? Okay, well, I truly regret not taking any pictures before diving into using the powder. I love the contrast of the vintage beauty powdering her face alongside the comic book styling of the font. Upon first impression it’s completely undeniable that the compact is charming. I say luckily because it quickly became a firm favourite of mine whilst abroad. Luckily for me it arrived the very afternoon before we were due to fly out to Fiji. I ordered mine from a UK eBay seller for around $28 including shipping, which although I’ve nothing to compare it to locally, seemed pretty reasonable to me. But after seeing Estée over at essiebutton rave about One Heck of a Blot, a translucent mattifying powder, I knew I had to get my grubby little mitts on that compact.
#Soap and glory one heck of a blot skin
The coverage is hard to describe as it looks fairly natural on the skin in that it doesn't mask your natural complexion, but it still feels full in that it evens out the skin tone and looks pretty flawless.With limited availability here in Australia, I’m sorry to say that Soap & Glory is not a brand with which I was terribly familiar. The wear-time is also impressive and it keeps my shine at bay easily (even without powder). It doesn't feel heavy or suffocating on the skin and it doesn't look to flat. I'd imagine it's fairly similar to the Nars All Day Luminous Weightless foundation. However if you have dry patches, I'm not sure I'd recommend it.
What I do like about this is that the finish isn't too dry I don't feel like it clings to and emphasises imperfections, nor is it too matte.
I don't think I've ever said this before but it works best by far when applied with the fingertips it looks even and natural. I find it works well enough applied with brushes but I looked awful and patchy with a damp BeautyBlender.
If you don't, be prepared for major patchiness. It comes out as a slightly thick liquid foundation however it dries into a powder very quickly so there's definitely a knack to applying it! I tend to only apply the smallest amount to a tiny area at a time, as it dries very quickly and once it does it ain't moving so it's essential to apply this perfectly straightaway.
