Many women develop a shiny nose, chin or forehead during the day which creates the temptation to powder our noses. As your personal Beauty Geek, I encourage you to skip the powder and buy some blotting papers. Powder can build up, get cakey and even clog pores over the course of a long day at the office. Blotting papers, on the other hand, absorb the excess oil, leaving your makeup intact. Some papers do come with a built-in powder, so be careful as those are not the best ones to use. Here are three that I have used and recommend.

Noevir Blotting Papers are made from an ultra-fine, handmade Japanese paper that is silky-soft to the touch and instantly absorbs excess oil. They come in an easy-to-dispense, durable plastic envelope of 100 sheets for $3.

Too Faced Refresh Oil Blotting Papers come in a attractive, slim box of 100 sheets for $12.

Philosophy the Supernatural Blotting Papers also come in a slim box of 100 sheets and cost $10.
