Light coverage that blends well with my other makeup
luckybetty (880 reviews)

I am a liquid foundation user. I put my regular makeup in the morning, but in mid-afternoon (summer) I often notice shiny T-zone. Recently my friend gave me a great tip. As she suggested, I bought Clinique Blended Face Powder. I use it over my liquid foundation and this powder blends very well. I like the light sheer coverage. — 3 years, 10 months ago

I tried this powder and while it is finely milled and natural looking upon application, it didn't work for my skin. My skin is oily and the powder did not stay colour-true. I like puff application better than the brush which tended to be messier, even with minimal powder on it. — 4 years ago

Might Be More of a Dry Skin Blot Than Oily, Huh?
Starluxe (298 reviews)

This sets makeup well but I have to say that in the market, it may not be the best depending on your skin type. I have combination oily skin and even just after a couple of hours during the winter, I find myself shiny especially in the t-zone which means this didn't do the job right the first time so I'll blot and I apply again. Building this up can look cakey and unnatural, leaving skin feeling heavy as well. I've found though for $18.50, it's a great deal considering it comes with a brush of its own but don't get me wrong because this brush can only do as far as the t-zone because it would take forever and an uneven application if you decide you'll be using this regularly as a setting brush for this powder. Yes, this does come in a translucent finish but I do find that it can add a pink tinge to any yellow based undertone but this may be good for some people who need to neutralize that. Overall, this powder is very velvety to the touch but it doesn't give skin a nice glow or finish as it can overdo the matte effect and won't last long until oily or normal skin can look like an oil slick. I actually prefer the compact version when it comes to this because it saves space, it is less messy, and because the matte finish doesn't last too long it is more convenient for touch ups. — 4 years ago

Shine-free all day~
RavenLoudspeakr (270 reviews)

This is a great deal for it's price. The jar is giant, and you get a retractable brush as well. The powder helped set my make-up and kept me shine free all day, meaning that my eyeliner didn't smudge nor did my eyeshadow crease. It looks natural (I used the translucent shade) and you can't tell you're wearing powder. My only beef is I wish the brush was a tad more fluffier, but despite it being smaller--it still applies evenly. — 3 years, 10 months ago

Product Review: Clinique Blended Face Powder
girlwomanbeautybrainsblog (232 reviews)

There are a few other choices of translucent or invisible face powders on the market, but Clinique's Blended Face Powder and Brush in Invisible Blend works for both girls and mature women. My daughter, who admittedly has beautiful 20-something skin, brushed the powder on her bare skin and it gave her a flawless finish. I lightly dusted it over my foundation as a setting powder and it didn't settle in what I prefer to call my laugh lines but there may have been a trace amount in my crinkles. I have not worn powder for eons because it tends to emphasize the lines on my face rather than make them invisible, but I would wear Clinique's Invisible Blend on special occasions when I need that extra setting power. It is the first time since the company's launch in 1968 that the loose powder is available in an invisible blend. The 100 percent fragrance-free (phthaltes-free for my health-conscious girls), non-acnegenic formula makes it a perfect choice for all skin types, tones, and women who are concerned with what ingredients they put on their faces. Available at Sephora ($18.50). — 4 years, 2 months ago

So-So
OhMandy (199 reviews)

I had heard a lot of good things about this powder but I was dissapointed. It starts out neat but then gets messy and it did not keep me shine-free for very long-even though my skin is not overly oily. It has a nice light sheen but the brush was sort of hard to use at first-I had to practice. For the money there are better powders. — 2 years, 6 months ago

Love this powder
Psy1ocke (147 reviews)

Through the years, I've tried numerous loose powders and find that I always return to Clinique's. The color selection is nice and the texture is light enough to use over liquid foundation or alone for very transparent coverage. The powder consistency is not too dry and has a silky feel. — 1 year, 3 months ago

It's Alright
Katatonia (179 reviews)

What's great about it is it looks good if you use a tiny tiny bit, which means it lasts forever. But the shade I bought is a bit dark(10 Transparency Bronze) and it turns out a bit too shimmery. Yet it looks great on the eyes! I use it as the BEST bronze eyeshadow. — 4 years ago

Nice
sofaloaf (7 reviews)

I got this product in Translucent, which is supposed to be compatible with any skin color, but I have used it on other people and I found that Translucent should be used mostly for lighter skin colors, medium or olive being the darkest. The powder is very fine, but does not settle into any lines in the face. I use it within minutes of applying my foundation to set it. It gives a matte finish that is still natural. The natural glow of the face still comes through without being shiny or oily. The complimentary brush that is provided can spoil the product, I found it was scratchy and not appropriate for this powder, it made it go on too thick and uneven. Invest in a nice brush and this powder is great! Love it. — 4 months, 1 week ago
