Angie's honest notes
I have used Clinique's pressed powder for about eight years, and it is one of those products I always buy again. I have had this current compact for about a year, and I love how it feels and how it looks on my skin.
How it works for me. It helps me control shine and leaves a natural, even, light matte finish that never feels heavy. I use it to set my makeup and for touch-ups during the day, especially in the spots where I tend to get shiny.
One of my basics. After so many years, it has become one of my makeup basics, and a product I really enjoy keeping on hand.
Good to know. Mine is shade Stay Neutral 02, and it comes with a little sponge inside the compact. Clinique says it is oil-free and fragrance-free.
