Whether it takes off your makeup depends on how you apply it, not the sheet itself: Gently blot (press) the sheet on your face to remove excess oil. Do not rub it and wipe it all over your face because it will spread the oils (and smudge your makeup in the process, if you have any on)--the sheet can only absorb so much.
I've used all of these products, and they work about the same, with the exception of the blotting papers that contain powders. I would avoid those because, one, they tend to be more expensive and, two, they tend to make you look a bit cakey since you're patting the powders on with a sheet, and not using a brush to blend them in. Personally, I don't believe in a "better" brand when it comes to these things because I don't notice the difference with the brands that glorify their sheets with certain extracts and whatnot. Since I have ridiculously shine-tastic skin and go through like 3 sheets an hour, I tend to go for quantity and not "quality."
If you don't want to spend money on blotting papers, toilet cover sheets and Starbucks napkins work just as well.

What are your thoughts on the Daiso oli blotting sheets? Thank you for the review
ReplyDeleteHi there! Actually, of all the oil blotting sheets I've went over, I use the Daiso ones the most. From my experience, I haven't noticed any benefits or differences from sheets infused with herbs, and the ones coated with powder just clog up my pores. Basic sheets do the trick and that's what Daiso provides. They're also the best value, and they come with cute packaging :)
