Blotting Papers?

Has anyone tried blotting paper for those little shine spots on the face either on your wedding day or otherwise?  Even when I've had my makeup done professionally, I notice it live and in pics a few hours later, just forehead and nose mostly.

I'm wondering if it's a quicker, easier solution than powdering back up during the big day.

    Yes, they are awesome for drying up oil!

    Neutrogena makes little blue ones.

    They are awesome.

    The ones without powder are better than the ones with, in my experience.

    I find them to be waaaaaay better than applying more powder. The more you apply, the cakier you look. I use blotting papers all the time. Come to think of it, I left them in my wedding clutch from my wedding >2wks ago. Gotta get those out of there tonight!

    I just bought some from Mary Kay for my wedding. I've never used them before and my forehead is always oily so I hope this helps me!

    Coffee filters work even better than blotting papers. We use them for sorority rush in August, in Louisiana...where it's unbelievably hot and humid.

    I just bought those Neutrogena ones a couple of days ago! I had my make-up trial a couple of weeks ago and by hour 6 post-application, I was getting oily along my chin (and the make-up was almost...separating?). Talked to my make-up artist about that and she's going to change my primer, and recommended the blotting papers. Since hour 6 is pretty much ceremony time on the big day, I definitely want to stem the oily tide early on. :P Oddly, I don't feel like my face is excessively oily under normal circumstances, but I guess that has more to do with the make-up I usually wear? At any rate, the primer question is probably also worth addressing with your make-up artist.

    Coffee filters! I've never heard of that, thanks for the tip. I've used toilet paper before in emergency circumstances :) I'm still trying things out for my wedding but I've been liking Boscia green tea blotting linens a lot.
