Advantages: Removes excess oil and sets makeup beautifully
Disadvantages: Perhaps just the increase in price
This is Clinique's Number 1 selling powder which already suggests that it is pretty good and I couldn't agree more with it!
I bought this powder when I was so stressed out with my foundations sliding off during the day. When I first bought it, it was £16.50 and now retails at £19.00 for 7.6g (it lasts a very long time) so it has steadily crept up in price probably due to the number that Clinique was selling of it, they knew it was so popular.
***Who is this powder for? ***
It is for skin types 2 (dry combination), 3 (oily) and 4 (very oily).
***What is it and what does it do? ***
It is a pressed powder which comes in 5 shades: stay buff (the palest colour which I use), Invisible Matte (which is great for someone who doesn't want to add any colour to their skin, and is also great because it can be used when you are at your palest and when you are your most tanned), stay neutral (for as it says neutral skin colours), stay beige (for medium skin colours) and stay honey (their darkest colour). The powder contains silica which is the oil absorbing ingredient.
It works to blot away any excess oil on the skin and to set makeup to prevent it rubbing off during the day. Just use the sponge dry not wet to apply.
***How it is packaged***
It comes in a gorgeous 'Clinique green' compact which looks really smart which has a very handy mirror in it and it also comes with a sponge (this is great because I used to buy Mac's powder and these do not come with sponges which was very irritating).
***Would I recommend this product?***
I would because I have been using it for 5 years now and it still looks as great as it did on my first application ( from this I mean that sometimes your skin can get used to certain powders and foundations and they don't seem to work as great as they used to).
I love how long lasting it is and the powder never crumbles like some makes do.
Try it if you've got an oily t-zone or all over oiliness!
Summary: A great powder that lasts a very long and removes excess oil
