Great Powder

I have combination oily skin. My skin gets super dry if I don't use a moisturizer, but I still get a bit oily in my T-Zone. This powder helps alot with those oily spots, and I found that I can just use Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel underneath it and get pretty good coverage. I wouldn't recommend using the sponge it comes with if you're also wearing concealer and liquid foundat...read moreion because it could end up looking bit cakey. Instead, use a brush. Overall, I think its worth the money, and I will definitely repurchase it.

Melts right in and doesn't give you that "powdery" face look

When Im too rushed to wear my liquid makeup I buff on shade 116 G of my perfectly real compact. It's the only powder foundation that doesn't look dry and powdery and accentuate my peach fuzz. The coverage is nice, the colors selection is fabulous, and it's oil free. It's still not the perfect powder because It still gives me those lines around my mouth, but I havent found a powder yet that doesn't do that. For the price and quality, I would recomend.

clinique perfectly real compact :)

This is another product that I couldn't live without ....This makes my skin very smooth. I use line smoothing concealer underneath it. It covers perfectly. I just use this powder to set my concealer/foundation. I always go back to it because it's not drying like some powders. Give it a try!!!

Only foundation I can use!

I'm 37 years old and still get breakouts. This is the only foundation I can use that doesn't cause me to break out. It's wonderful! You can put it on lightly, or heavily, depending on the amount of coverage you want.

didn't work for me!

If you have dark spots, acne scars etc. this is not for you. it doesn't give you a good coverage and the more you put on the worst it looks. I didn't like it at all and it came off pretty easy in about an hour it was gone and i had to re touch again. i have combination skin type and a couple of dark spots.

This is a so-so product..

I got this since I LOVE Clinique, the person at the counter picked this out for me, thinking it would be good for my combo skin. it was okay, but sometimes looked cakey or just made my face oilier. Do not apply this if you just applied your lotion, let the lotion sink in first, and then apply otherwise your face just looks darker after applying make up-weird! Also this product made me DARKER, if i...read more didn't keep reapplying.. Weird. It also broke in my make up bag :( stinks, but i still use the little bitty crumbs since I can't afford anythign else! XD

Doesn't stay on and looks flat

Quick, clean and easy, Clinique Perfectly Real Compact Makeup seemed like a winner. It wasn't. A light application of this oil-free foundation makes skin look flat and chalky, minimizing imperfections but not totally concealing them. Any attempts at trying to build-up this foundation results in a cakey, dry disaster. Those familiar with mineral makeup will especially find this powder lacking in l...read moreuminosity and coverage. However, a couple spritzes with my trusty MAC Fix+ makes this foundation completely undetectable on the skin. But within a couple hours, it truly is undetectable on the skin--and not in a good way.

Good!

This compact makes my skin look smooth and blemish-free. The only complaint I have is that after a few hours my face starts to look oily again, so it must be re-applied.

I'm going to have to buy the full size

I got a sample size of this in a GWP, and absolutely love it. I'm getting tired of putting on liquid foundation every day and was getting lazy and just putting on a brushing of powder. Well, after getting this powder foundation, I am hooked! I think I've found my new favorite foundation! It's easy, gives good coverage, and stays put!
