Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder

I keep this in my purse for afternoon touch-ups. It takes about thirty seconds to fix my T-zone and get rid of the extra shine.

Finally found a powder that doesn't make my face look overly dry. It mattifies without giving me that obvious powdered look.

My forehead gets shiny before I even make it to lunch, and a quick dusting of this keeps everything looking much more put together.

I don't wear foundation every day, so I like using this on its own when I just want to take down some shine and even things out a little.

Humid weather is usually terrible for my makeup, but this helps keep my face from looking greasy halfway through the day.

What I appreciate most is how sheer it looks. My skin still looks like skin after I apply it, just less shiny.

I tend to get oily around my nose, so that's really the only place I use this most days. It works without making the rest of my face look flat.

This has been great for setting my makeup before work. I use a light hand, and it keeps everything looking neat for hours.

I bought this because I wanted something easier than carrying loose powder around. The compact is much more convenient when I'm out.

Some pressed powders feel heavy after a few touch-ups, but I can reapply this without feeling like I'm piling product onto my face.

By late afternoon, my makeup usually needs some help around my forehead and chin. A little of this makes a surprisingly big difference.

I'm not a fan of a completely flat matte finish, so I was happy that this simply controls the oily areas without taking all the life out of my complexion.

I use a fluffy brush instead of the applicator when I'm at home, and it gives me a really natural finish. You can barely tell I'm wearing powder.

My combination skin can be tricky because I only need powder in certain spots. This lets me target those areas without making my cheeks look dry.

I wasn't looking for extra coverage, just something to handle shine throughout the day. This does exactly that and leaves my makeup looking fresh instead of cakey.
