Kat Von D’s Lock-It range is a crowd favourite for its lasting coverage and staying power, so you can expect the recently added blotting powder compact to deliver. Concocted with super fine absorbing powders, the refillable compact promises to blot excess oil while remaining undetectable. Another reason to love it: that gorgeous wax seal-inspired design. 

$45, available in 4 shades from fair to deep, at Sephora. 

This doesn’t just minimise shine, it also helps diminish the appearance of pores with the help of lentil seed extract, and a high tech polymer known to control shine. 3 easy steps to looking fresh-faced and gorgeous: A twist, tap and sweep of the built-in brush.

If you’re a mineral makeup fanatic, you’ll want to give the London brand’s Stay Matte Pressed Powder a go. The formula’s concocted from natural minerals and promises high coverage, up to five hours of shine control and helps diminish the appearance of pores. Plus, its affordable price tag makes it a steal.

$13.90, available at Watsons. 

The first thing I like about this compact: it’s ultra-slim (it’ll take up less space in your bridal clutch!). The powder does a good job in keeping sebum in check thanks to Amazonia Kaolin Clay which has great oil-absorbing properties. There’s slight coverage without interfering with your foundation, and comes with vitamins and skin-beneficial ingredients too.
