Blotting papers are so underrated, according to Spencer Barnes, makeup artist and co-founder of Spencer Barnes LA. They come in extremely handy when one is in a rush. If you’re pressed of time and have the a cakey mess to fix, Barnes says, “Just don’t press down firmly, as this can push oils back into your skin and potentially cause blocked pores and other issues,” He also notes that toilet seat covers and Starbucks tissues are great alternatives for oil blotting sheets.
