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!

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.
Such a good powder BUT
It ddint kat long, i bought it 3 weeks ago and already hit pan AND I only use it on the weekends since i WFH during the week. For the cost it should last months
Longtime user
I have been using Clinique products for 60 years. Obviously, they fit my needs. Incidentally, at 82, I have received comments indicating that I can't possibly be that age. Clinique will continue t be my "go to" brand. This shade is in my makeup drawer but very little remains so I am replacing it.
