Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder for Oily Skin — Translucent Compact, Oil‑Absorbing Matte Finish

Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder is a lightweight, oil-free pressed powder designed to control shine and give skin a natural matte finish.

This compact powder from Clinique provides subtle coverage while reducing visible oiliness throughout the day. Its ultra-sheer texture blends easily over foundation or bare skin, making it a convenient touch-up product for oily zones or an all-over mattifying layer. The compact includes a sponge applicator and is formulated without fragrance, with dermatologist guidance used during development.

How does this powder help reduce shine during the day?

The formula is designed to absorb excess surface oil, creating a soft, matte appearance that lasts through regular touch-ups. It works well on the T‑zone and other oily patches without looking cakey or heavy.

• Oil-absorbing, ultra-sheer pressed formula
• Lightweight finish that avoids cakiness
• Suitable for targeted spot application or full-face use

Will it change my foundation’s color or coverage?

Because the powder is sheer, it won’t noticeably alter your foundation’s shade or build up opaque coverage. It refines the look of skin and sets makeup while keeping the original tone and finish intact.

• Translucent finish preserves foundation color
• Minimal visual buildup for natural-looking results
• Use over powder or liquid bases for extra longevity

How do I use the compact for touch-ups and all-over setting?

For targeted shine control, press the included sponge onto oily areas and blend lightly. For setting your full face, sweep or press the powder evenly with a brush or sponge for a soft matte veil.

• Pat onto oily spots for quick shine control
• Apply with a brush for an even, all-over mattifying layer
• Carry the compact for midday refreshes—designed for portability

Is this powder gentle enough for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Clinique formulates with dermatological input and the powder is allergy tested and free of fragrance, which can suit sensitive skin needs. It is non-acnegenic and created to minimize irritation while helping manage oiliness.

• Allergy tested and fragrance-free
• Non-acnegenic formulation supports clearer-looking skin
• Developed with dermatology expertise for safety considerations

Who is this for: Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder is ideal for anyone with oily or combination skin who wants a lightweight, portable powder to reduce shine and refine skin texture without masking natural tone. It’s a practical choice for those seeking subtle, everyday mattifying results—whether you need targeted touch-ups throughout the day or a thin, setting layer over makeup.
