Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder

Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder in shade 04 Stay Honey is a portable pressed powder designed to keep shine under control while leaving the complexion looking naturally polished. The ultra-sheer, oil-free formula works to absorb excess surface oil and helps to promote a smooth, matte finish without feeling heavy or chalky on the skin. Ideal for combination to oily complexions, it may help to minimise the look of surface imperfections and support a fresher-looking tone throughout the day.

This compact includes a mirror and sponge applicator, making it easy to use at home or for touch-ups on the go. The powder can be worn alone for a light veil of coverage or applied over foundation to set make-up and extend its wear. Fragrance free and developed with skin comfort in mind, it suits those who prefer a clean, comfortable feel from their make-up while still wanting reliable shine control and a softly perfected finish.

How to use
How to Use:
If desired, start with your usual skincare and foundation. Pick up a small amount of Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder with the included sponge or a clean powder brush. Press or sweep the powder over the face, focusing on areas that tend to look shiny such as the T-zone. Reapply lightly during the day whenever you want to refresh your make-up or reduce shine.

Frequency:
Use as needed throughout the day according to the product instructions.

Application Technique:
Use gentle pressing or sweeping motions rather than rubbing, building the coverage gradually. Apply all over the face for a more matte look, or concentrate on oily areas only. Blend carefully around the edges of the face for a seamless finish.

Best Practices:
Apply to clean, well-prepped skin or over fully set foundation. Use thin layers to avoid a heavy finish and wash the sponge applicator regularly with mild soap and water, allowing it to dry completely before reuse. Store the compact closed to protect the powder.

Safety Tips:
For external use only. Avoid getting product into the eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and keep out of reach of children. Follow any additional guidance on the packaging.

Frequency:
Use as needed throughout the day or according to the product instructions.

Application Technique:
Pick up a small amount of powder on the sponge or brush, tap off any excess, then press or sweep onto the skin. Blend gently to avoid visible edges and build in thin layers until you reach your desired level of sheer coverage.

Best Practices:
Apply after foundation or tinted moisturiser to help set make-up, or use alone on bare skin for a soft matte finish. Use light layers to keep the finish natural and comfortable, and allow any liquid or cream products underneath to set before applying.
