Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder

Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder is an oil-free powder for people whose faces go shiny by mid-afternoon. The coverage is sheer and the finish is matte, and Clinique's pitch is simple: skin that still looks and feels fresh at the end of a long day and night.

What it actually does

• Keeps shine down. Clinique says the oil-free formula holds a fresh look and feel right through the day and into the evening.
• Mattifies without masking. The finish is matte but the coverage is sheer, so it evens the look of the surface rather than building a layer of colour.
• Made for oily zones. Clinique calls it out as a good match for oily skin and for the oily patches on an otherwise balanced face.
• Short ingredient exclusions. No oil, no parabens, no mineral oil and no added fragrance.

How to use

1. Go on after your base. Press or sweep it over foundation or tinted moisturiser once that layer has settled.
2. Target the shiny areas. T-zone, chin, the sides of the nose — the places that turn first.
3. Carry it for touch-ups. A compact is built for the second application at 4pm, not just the one at 8am.

Questions

Will it cover blemishes or dark marks?

Not really — Clinique describes the coverage as sheer. It takes down shine and lightly evens the look of the skin. For actual coverage, use it over a foundation or concealer.

Can I use it only on my nose and forehead?

Yes, and that is exactly how Clinique frames it — suited to oily skin and to individual oily spots. Spot-powdering keeps the rest of your base looking like skin.

Is it fragranced?

No. Clinique lists it as free of fragrances, along with parabens and mineral oil, and the formula itself is oil-free.
