- Q
Is it best to "blot" or "dab" with this product when using the sponge it comes with or is it better to brush across your face like a normal pressed powder?
- Asked by Bree
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertHi! If you blot first, it absorbs excess oil from the skin without moving the oil around. Once you blot, you can absolutely use a brush to give the skin more of a matte look.Was this answer helpful to you

Use it to reduce shine or set your makeup
I just got mine in the mail this morning and I love it. It is very dense as a previous reviewer stated but I didn't have any trouble getting it out with a brush. I applied it over my makeup to set everything in place. I used the sponge to apply a little extra over my lipstick as well and it really h...

Disappointed
My skin is a Type 3 and I usually experience some shine around my noise about 3 hours after I apply my makeup. I don't want to give the impression that I have a lot of shine to control, I'm sure that most people can't notice it but I can and I can feel it as well. I was tired of reapplying makeup to...

Waste of money
The compact gets hard and you can't apply the product. Even if you scrape it the product comes up in clumps and won't spread. Worst!!!! I don't usually leave reviews but I don't want you to waste your money like I did. 1 star because it made me because it's 0 stars imo
Probably purchase again
Seems to work ok on my oily skin
Turned into a rock over time

At the beginning a light veil would be easy to pull from the applicator but within a month, the powder hardened and dried into a hard, chalky texture. I can still pull up product but only when push hard, scraping the edges. I loved it in the beginning, disappointing it couldn't last long.
Stay Perfect!

Clinique's "Stay Matte" pressed powder should be called "Stay Perfect" because that's what it does for my makeup. Offering translucent coverage that does not darken with wear on my pale complexion, this powerful powder is highly-effective for setting one's finished face in the morning while also providing a terrific, totable touch-up whenever required with its beautiful, sleek compact.
Such a disappointment

It seems that this product has changed over time. The texture is no longer powdery at all and you have to really rub the applicator onto the product in order to get any onto it. I used to be a big fan but will no longer purchase it.
