Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder for Oily & Combination Skin — Stay Golden, Oil-Control Matte Finish

Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder is a lightweight, oil-free pressed powder that reduces shine and creates a sheer matte finish for oily and combination skin.

This compact powder is designed for quick touch-ups and daily wear when you want to control oil without adding weight or heavy coverage. Clinique engineered a finely milled, ultra-sheer formula that sets makeup, blurs minor imperfections, and keeps the complexion looking fresh. The compact includes a sponge applicator so you can mattify either the whole face or target oily zones like the T‑zone.

How does this powder control shine without looking cakey?

The formula is oil-free and finely milled to absorb surface oil while laying down an ultra-sheer veil of pigment. It settles into skin smoothly rather than building into visible layers, so the finish reads natural rather than powdery.

• Sheer, light-reflecting particles minimize glossy highlights.
• Oil-absorbing ingredients manage excess sebum throughout the day.
• Ultra-fine texture prevents cakey buildup after repeat touch-ups.

Where and how should I use the compact for best results?

Use the included sponge to apply with light pressure for touch-ups, or a fluffy brush for an all-over set. Focus on high-oil areas like the forehead, nose, and chin, or dust lightly across the entire face to lock foundation in place.

• Target oily zones for spot mattifying between applications.
• Apply over foundation to set makeup and extend wear time.
• Reapply sparingly throughout the day to maintain a fresh matte look.

Will it work for my skin type and tone?

Clinique Stay-Matte is formulated mainly for oily and combination skin, but the sheer coverage makes it adaptable for many tones. Because the product is translucent to light coverage, it minimizes the risk of visible color mismatch and layers well over most foundations.

• Especially suited for oily and combination complexions.
• Sheer coverage complements a range of skin tones without heavy tinting.
• Non-acnegenic and allergy tested to reduce irritation risk.

Is this safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Clinique developed this powder with skin safety in mind: it’s fragrance-free and tested to reduce the likelihood of irritation. While individual reactions vary, many customers with reactive or breakout-prone skin use it successfully to control shine without added fragrances or pore-clogging ingredients.

• 100% fragrance-free to limit irritants.
• Allergy tested and non-acnegenic to support sensitive skin tolerance.
• Dermatologist-guided formulation practices inform product development.
