We love glitz and glam but we don’t love shiny faces when it’s all oil! Yuck. Applying additional makeup over the oil will not help and only cause your face to look cakey and all of this oil can lead to pimples which we do NOT want. This is where these magical pieces of paper come in. Blot the oil away and sometimes without even disturbing your makeup! They are so small and compact that you can keep them in your purse, gym bag and even work desk.
