all day coverage

This is a great, economical finisher over my tinted moisturizer. It offers radiance and great all-day coverage. Only problem, it can be drying so moisturize well underneath if you have older skin. Can't be beat for all around performance though.

Love this Powder!!!
-05.20.13
Quick Take: oil-absorbing, sheer coverage, reduces shine
Great color for my very pale skin (Alabaster 00 in Bobbi Brown products). I love the texture of this powder! It is so soft feeling! Can wear sheer or build it up. Natural looking. Bonus SPF. I believe this is a product I can't live without. It does what a powder is expected of. I have combination skin and love wearing this with my Bobbi Brown concealer.

Nothing special
-05.10.13
I have tried many,many pressed powders. This powder is what I would call a thick mill, not light that just kind of melts into the skin. The color is ok, it looks natural, but this would not be my favorite Clinique product. I will not repurchase.

Quick Take: reduces shine, sheer coverage
I like this product a lot. It did not make my skin oily throughout the day which is a common problem for me. I purchased the neutral which was lighter than my skin tone so I always used a bronzer with it. Would def recommend.

Quick Take: sheer coverage
I was initially hesitant. I don't like a lot of powders because they tend to flake off. But after using this with the Clinique CC cream and moisturizer, I can't imagine using anything else ever again. It works perfectly. My face looks blemish-free!

-05.06.13
Quick Take: sheer coverage, reduces shine
I didn't care for this product and sent it back. It felt good, silky, but cakey in daylight. Not at all luminous like stated,very dry, matte and noticable.

Awsome makeup
-05.04.13
This is the second one I have bought. I got another one because I got a little sun and the first one is now too light. Love love love this makeup. It covers great, and and I don't have to use any other concealer with it, and I def don't have a perfect complexion.

Not light as air
-05.03.13
Quick Take: spf rated
I keep this in my purse to reapply some spf before I go out but it certainly did not meet up with its ratings. It's heavy and sits on the skin.

Impressive
-04.29.13
Quick Take: oil-absorbing, reduces shine, natural
I'm picky. That said: I'm impressed with this. It covers extremely well (especially if you have a moisturizer underneath). It works very well with the Clinique CC cream and makes it look like I'm not wearing any at all. I love it!

My favorite powder. I keep repurchasing.
-04.29.13
Quick Take: oil-absorbing, long-lasting, good for breakout-prone skin, day-to-night, sheer to medium coverage, buildable
This is the first powder I've repurchased in about 5 years. My skin is combination to oily, and breaks out very easily. This powder doesn't clog my pores or irritate my skin, and holds up well to my oily skin (I usually have to blot every half hour, but can often go 2-3 with this). What I like most about it, though, is how versatile it is. I can put on a light dusting for class or work to even out my skin tone naturally, or take a dense kabuki brush and pack it on for more coverage- making it both my day powder and my foundation for going out- which is great, because my skin can't habdle all The dimethicone and/or oil in BB creams, liquid foindations, and primers for oily skin. With a little UD De-Slick spray and silica-based finishing powder, it even holds up to a night of clubbing. I've tried the other Clinique powders (the Stay Matte literally does nothing. No coverage and no oil control) I've used Diorskin powder and Used Bare Minerals for a very long time, as well as dabbling in random Korean and Drugstore brands. As far as color goes, this is much better for me than anything else I've tried- but the texture/finish is also just great. I can't be without this powder.

surprisingly decent coverage
-04.23.13
Quick Take: oil-absorbing, sheer coverage, reduces shine
while sephora no longer sells any of the colors i would recommend for darker skin, i think this product provides good coverage. i mix two colors together to match my skin tone. it can be a bit drying if you have normal/dry skin already, so use a good moisturizer underneath. shades for darker skin tones seem to be scarce, but i was able to find some at Saks.

It's so soft and looks really natural on skin. My skin is very fair and it's hard to find products that are light enough but the shade "Fair" fits me.

Quick Take: oil-absorbing, sheer coverage, reduces shine
You know how once in a great while you first get a product and you know THIS is it! That's how I feel about this. Light but great coverage. Smooth as silk and non-drying. I use over my T-zone after applying Superbalanced liquid foundation. I thought Stay-Matte was too heavy and cakey. This feels wonderful.

You just can't go wrong with this powder. Use with the sponge applicator for thicker coverage, or with a brush for lighter coverage. I highly recommend this product!

I love this powder! After its applied, it melts flawlessly into my skin so you can't even tell I'm wearing it. It delivers beautiful coverage while still looking natural. Two thumbs up!

almost powder by clinique
-04.03.13
I like this a lot, and one of its chief advantages is that the powder is contained, and doesn't get on every single surface as well as your skin. It's almost imperceptible when applied, but it nonetheless evens your skin tone out nicely. Another winner for Clinique!
