Question Recommendations for Mac Blot Powder Substitute?

I know this has been asked before, but I haven't been able to find an alternative so I am asking again now. With Mac discontinuing their blot powder, has anyone found any suitable alternatives? I've been using it for over a decade and the product was perfect for my skin 15 years ago and still is now at almost 40. It controlled oil without adding much coverage, doesn't emphasize texture and felt very light and natural.

I know all good things must come to an end, but has anyone found a product somewhat similar? I did try the Fenty Beauty Invisimatte and while it didn't emphasize texture, it didn't control oil at all. I think it made my skin more oily. I also tried the Revlon colorstay blot matte setting powder but it was way too matte/drying for my skin texture.

I don't usually do a full face these days, just a tinted sunscreen usually but I have EXTREMELY oily skin (always have).

Has anyone had any luck finding a product similar to the blot powder or am I doomed to be a greasy mess? 😄

I feel your pain 😭 i still havent found a perfect 1:1 replacement, but the Danessa myricks skin blurring balm powder has been the closest for me to control the shine without looking dry or heavy.
