Where has this stuff been all of my life?!?! I am so in love!  I bought this last weekend and have been wearing it for the last four days!  This is one product that really does what it proclaims to do.

 

Stay-matte is a pressed powder that does deposit color.  I'm not sure how extensive the color range is, but I do know that there are at least three more colors aside from the one that I tried - Stay Brandy 11.

 

I put this on in the morning as the last step of my makeup routine and by mid-day, I was still matte.  That is quite an accomplishment for someone with skin as oily as mine. 

 

This is a nice pressed powder that comes in a cute little compact that is in Clinique's signature color.  I suppose that this could be used as a light foundation - to even out skintone - since there is color in this powder, but I used it in the same manner that I would normally use MAC Blot Powder, that is, after my makeup application was complete this was used to set and give me a matte appearance.  The effects of this powder lasts for hours!!  During my work day, I only touched up once and I'm not really sure I HAD to do it then.... I think I did it out of habit more so than necessity.

 

I have never been a fan of the Clinique line, but I will definitely buy this again for sure! So far, nothing else compares!

 

**I am not sure of the true price of this product due to I bought it from a CCO store.  The $12 listed in this review reflects the CCO price.
