Great Finish, Stays Very Nicely - 11.01.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage

I use this power over the Perfectly Real Makeup and my foundation primer and it works GREAT. It's definitely VERY matte but that's exactly what i was looking for, stays all day, can get a bit shiny at times, but overall it's my favorite

not long-lasting! - 10.28.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage

I tried this with high hopes from reading other reviews, and knowing it's a very popular Clinique product. However, I think it's much like most of their face makeups- okay, not great. You get what you pay for, and this looks good at first, but only lasted a couple hours on my combo skin before looking very shiny. Not worth it, in my opinion.

Just the right amount of coverage - not too heavy and it covers most imperfections! Love Clinique! And, they don't test on animals...bonus!

Great Product - 10.19.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage, oil-absorbing, reduces shine

I began using this product whenever my old Sephora powder began breaking my face out. The Sephora associate informed me that Clinique was great for sensitive, blemish prone skin. It is light and provides slight coverage. Perfect for me!

Best Powder EVERRRR - 10.19.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage, oil-absorbing, reduces shine

I've tried all different powders for my face. I'm Italian and have oily/combo skin so it's hard to find something that really works well and covers any little imperfection. Clinique is the best one that I have tried. It makes everything look flawless and stays on perfectly. I love this makeup!

Great powder, but doesn't absorb shine - 10.18.09
I have oily skin and I had hoped this would take away shine, but sadly it doesn't. I was able to find the perfect shade (I have toffee color skin), and I love it b/c of that, but I can't attest to its shine-reducing powers. Maybe it works for some, but not for me.

Amazing - 10.15.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage, oil-absorbing, reduces shine, natural looking

I have tried lots of other foundations, powder and liquid and everything. Nothing compares to this. IT evens out my skin tone, covers some red spots and looks totally natural. In the summer I just wear this. In the winter I layer it over a tinted moisturizer. I love it! And the price is good too!

Not what I expected. It isn't much different than any other 'shine absorbing' powder. Looks great for the first 5 minutes, then the shine is back with revenge!

Awful - 10.13.09
This powder did not absorb any shine, it actually made my face super oily and my pores looked HUGE! I ended up returning it, I was very disappointed.

Not that good! - 10.11.09
Quick Take: sheer coverage

Everyone's reviews make this powder seem great, but it doesn't last long at all (like, a few hours, tops) before getting really slick looking on someone who actually has combo-oily skin. I've found much better options than this. Not that great, and the shades shown online aren't very accurate. Stay Buff is actually lighter than Stay Cream, which is darker and more yellow-toned.
Maybe a good product for people who aren't really very oily, just occasionally have a little shine.
