Is this a finishing powder, or is it a pressed powder foundation? The packaging makes no mention of it being a foundation.

Good Coverage
This product offers good coverage, absorbs oil, controls shine and allows for touch-ups during the day without icky build-up. Good for really oily skin.

I usually love this product, but I got one with the new
I usually love this product, but I got one with the new packaging last month and it was terrible. I'm not sure if I just got a bad batch or if the formula changed with the new packaging as well, but the powder started cracking after just a few uses and turned in to a crumbly mess! I am now having to...

Disappointed in Condition Received

I love this powder and have been using it for a few years. I like to purchase before I run out, so sometimes I do not open the product immediately. My last one lasted longer than expected, so I did not open the new one for a while after I received it. When I opened it, the makeup was no longer glued into the compact. I reached out to customer service who told me that it was past the 30 days, so they could not help me. I have had never had this issue before, so clearly it is on off or something. For the price, I expect quality which I did not receive this time.
For a translucent, sheer look
Have used this powder for many years. It's light, natural, never cakes. I use it only as a light face powder, day or night, although I guess it can be used dampened, for the foundation which I have not tried. I like the compact size, smaller and easy to open/close.
Product is incorrectly named on Ulta site
This is not a powder foundation. It is simply a pressed powder. As currently named, I would not recommend it, because it doesn't function as labeled by Ulta (this is not an error by Clinique). But it is a good pressed powder for touch-ups, if that's what you're looking for.
love it!

Clinique's Sheer-Matte Pressed Powder is a solid everyday staple. It does a great job controlling shine without looking heavy or cakey, and the finish truly lives up to the "sheer-matte" name. It smooths the skin nicely and sets makeup without dulling it. I also appreciate that it's fragrance-free and gentle—perfect for sensitive skin. The compact is sleek and practical for touch-ups throughout the day. While it won't give full coverage, it's excellent if you want a natural, polished look.
This is the best powder cuz it blurs imperfections.
I buy this often and gift to others! It does not make my skin look dry or matted.
