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...

Sheer Powder
I avoided using powder since I have dry skin. However, this sheer powder works wonderfully to set my sunscreen around my eyes. Would definitely buy again!!

I've loved Clinique products for as long as I can remember. (Since I started wearing makeup in middle school!) And I've stayed loyal to your wonderful products for decades. I fear however, that today's order will be my last. This powder is a great product, but the sharp and consistent increase in your prices over the last two years has been shocking and finally priced me out. I'm sad. And hate to leave. Thanks for the decades of skin care!
Good light powder foundation
My oily skin likes this foundation. It's very light and doesn't feel heavy on my skin. It has a decent amount of coverage for a power foundation but still has a very natural look. I alternate between this foundation and BareMinerals Matte powder foundation and buy whichever one I can get for cheaper. They are very similar, but I probably like BareMinerals just a bit better because it has spf and it's a loose powder so I don't have to worry about cracking it. Regardless, this is still a great, light foundation that I will always snag when it goes on sale.
Love this powder

This is a great natural-looking powder for skin that can get oily throughout the day. I use the invisible matte shade, and I love applying some after my liquid foundation to help to set it. With the shade, if you have pale skin like myself, it can make your base look ever so slightly darker, if you apply a lot, so that's something to keep in mind. It also works great to just dust over your sunscreen in the morning to help take away some shine without adding significant coverage.
Not matte to me
I haven't purchased Clinique before, but I know they are a higher end brand, so I thought since this product was on sale I would give it a try. I currently use Tarte Amazonian Clay mineral powder foundation, which I love. BUT sometimes we try new things to save money, right? Wrong! I was really disappointed with this. It was NOT matte, for me anyway. I have normal to oily skin, no acne but even though I'm 47 I will still get a greasy face, especially in the summer months. In my opinion, this product is not at all for anyone with semi-oily skin. The color wasn't right for me either, but that's probably on me for ordering the wrong shade. I have never returned makeup before because I just don't like to do that, but I did return this for a refund. I'll spend the extra money and buy Tarte again.
