Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder for Oily/Combination Skin — Stay Neutral, Lightweight Matte Finish & Shine Control

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

This compact pressed powder is formulated to be ultra-sheer while reducing surface oil and offering quick touch-ups throughout the day. The slim compact includes a soft applicator for precise application, making it easy to freshen your look whether you want all-over mattifying or targeted shine control. Clinique's dermatologist-guided formulation is fragrance-free, allergy tested, and non-acnegenic, designed to sit comfortably over makeup or on bare skin.

How does this powder help control shine without looking cakey?

The formula is designed to be extremely fine and lightweight so it blurs oil without adding noticeable texture or layering heavily over foundation. It mattifies the skin while preserving a natural appearance rather than a flat, powdery finish.

• Ultra-sheer milled powder disperses oil without build-up
• Matte effect maintains skin’s natural tone and dimension
• Works over liquid, cream, or bare skin for subtle touch-ups

Can I use it for quick touch-ups during the day?

Yes—the compact is sized for portability and includes a sponge for fast application. Use it to remove shine from the T-zone, refresh foundation, or soften excess dew without redoing your base.

• Compact design fits in purses or pockets for on-the-go use
• Sponge applicator enables spot control and even coverage
• Maintains a fresh look after multiple touch-ups

Is this suitable for acne-prone or sensitive skin?

Formulated without fragrances and allergy tested, the powder aims to be gentle on sensitive or reactive skin. It’s also labeled non-acnegenic, meaning it is less likely to clog pores when used as directed.

• Fragrance-free to reduce irritation risk
• Allergy tested to limit common sensitizers
• Non-acnegenic formulation for fewer pore-clogging concerns

How should I apply it for best results?

For an all-over matte look, sweep lightly with a dry brush or the included sponge after foundation. For targeted control, press gently into oily zones like the forehead, nose, and chin to absorb excess sebum without disturbing makeup.

• Use a fluffy brush for sheer, blended coverage
• Press with sponge for concentrated oil control on small areas
• Reapply sparingly—light layers preserve a natural finish

Who is this for: Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder is made for people with oily or combination skin who want a lightweight, no-fuss solution to reduce shine and refresh makeup throughout the day. It also suits anyone seeking a fragrance-free, dermatologist-guided powder that won’t overly mask skin tone and plays well with other makeup products.
