I'm on my third one of these. Its THE thing i cant leave the house without. I find you can never have too much of it an as it looks really natural. Four people i know have it too. Anyway i have the lightest shade and it matches my skin perfectly and gives the right amount of coverage and stops my face looking shiny or anything.

The shade I have is 'Stay Neutral 02'

If the shade was a better match, I may have liked this better.  When I apply it, if I pat it on, instead of wiping or brushing motion across my face, it will actually give a very flawless matte finish - covers almost everything!  But with my oily skin, I have to be sure to pat, not swipe or off slide the foundation.  It also wasn't enough oil-control for my liking....always on the search....

 

Didn't break me out, or clog pores (to my knowledge), didn't irritate my skin, I could feel it on though - didn't feel light like other powders do.  Most pressed powders do not feel as light wearing as a loose powder though.

I would say this pressed powder is average. 

 

I liked this, and didn't cause me to break out, but it was average in controlling oil.  It's performance is less compared to the Prescriptives Virtual Matte Pressed Powder. 

 

I didn't buy this again because I wanted something more finely milled, and matched my skintone better, and maybe controlled oil a bit more.  If it had a different shade I may or may not purchase again.

I use this powder over foundation when I want to touch up my makeup after a long day or if I'm going out. I have it in 01 matte ivory and it suits my pale skin very nicely. It looks natural too. The packaging is cute, comes with a handy mirror and a sponge, but I've only used a brush so far. Would use the sponge to get more coverage. 

i am a powder girl. this powder is one of the best. it has many colors to choose from.  stays on me the whole day. i dont use foundation with it. with other powders i do use foundation on my shinny Tzone. i use it with a brush.

This power is a must if you have oily skin. It gives it a wonderful matt finish, and one doesn't even need foundation under the powder to see an noticeble difference. It's long lasting, i.e, evben if using everyday. It's just a wonderful powder...

Where has this stuff been all of my life?!?! I am so in love!  I bought this last weekend and have been wearing it for the last four days!  This is one product that really does what it proclaims to do.

 

Stay-matte is a pressed powder that does deposit color.  I'm not sure how extensive the color range is, but I do know that there are at least three more colors aside from the one that I tried - Stay Brandy 11.

 

I put this on in the morning as the last step of my makeup routine and by mid-day, I was still matte.  That is quite an accomplishment for someone with skin as oily as mine. 

 

This is a nice pressed powder that comes in a cute little compact that is in Clinique's signature color.  I suppose that this could be used as a light foundation - to even out skintone - since there is color in this powder, but I used it in the same manner that I would normally use MAC Blot Powder, that is, after my makeup application was complete this was used to set and give me a matte appearance.  The effects of this powder lasts for hours!!  During my work day, I only touched up once and I'm not really sure I HAD to do it then.... I think I did it out of habit more so than necessity.

 

I have never been a fan of the Clinique line, but I will definitely buy this again for sure! So far, nothing else compares!

 

**I am not sure of the true price of this product due to I bought it from a CCO store.  The $12 listed in this review reflects the CCO price.
