Pros: brush included, i don't feel it on my skin
Cons: has talc

Hey everyone out there Smile

I think that if you repurchase a product it means that it matches your skin very well and you love it. I’ve been using the Almost Powder Makeup SPF 15 from Clinique for 9 months and when it ran low, I repurchased it.

The only thing I don’t like about it is the packaging. It looks somewhat childish in my book. The plastic is thick and quality, but it imitates malachite, which doesn’t look stylish.

Clinique is a high-end brand, so plunking down some cash we want to get not only quality product but also a nice package. In my opinion, the Almost Powder Makeup SPF 15 doesn’t look pretty.

Inside there is quite a big mirror that you can use for touch-ups on the go.

The package consists of 2 compartments: the one has a powder, the other - a brush.

By the way, the brush is quite workable. It’s tightly bound and the bristles don’t prickle. Moreover, it doesn’t emphasize peeling when applying.

However, the brush has its downsides also:

  • Unpleasant smell that I feel after each cleaning. The fragrance of a shampoo, shower gel and soap can’t handle it.

  • It sheds extremely bad. The brush started shedding only after 6 months.

    The new brush doesn't shed

    But the old one has bristles that stick every which way

Now let’s move onto the powder itself. I have it in 2 shades: 2 Neutral Fair and 03 Light.

The first tone has an intense pink undertone and the second one - natural beige.

The shade No.2 is new here, the No.3 is almost over

  • mattiefies skin

  • lasts all day

  • doesn’t emphasize peeling when applying with a brush

  • conceals imperfections really well

  • looks natural on skin

  • doesn’t flow in hot weather. Also, it survives after sweating.

  • goes far

  • not dusty

  • has SPF

  • doesn’t clog my pores, although Talc is number one in the ingredients

  • Ingredients:

  • Talc, Dimethicone, Nylon-12, Silica, Squalane, Boron Nitride, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Cetyl Caprylate, Diisostearyl Malate, Phytosteryl/Isostearyl/Cetyl/Stearyl/Behenyl Dimer Dilinoleate, Methicone, Aluminum Hydroxide, Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Magnesium Palmitoyl Glutamate, Sodium Palmitoyl Sarcosinate, Palmitoyl Proline, Alumina, Tocopherol , Palmitic Acid, 1,2-Hexanediol, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, Tin Oxide, Sodium Dehydroacetate.

  • I don’t like that it has Talc, but I keep on using this powder, because it hasn’t caused any problems against my skin after a year and a half of use.

The performance of this powder

My skin type:

I have combination skin type with my T-zone being oily in winter. In summer my skin is oily and I have frequent breakouts.

I fell for the Clinique powder, as it meets all my requirements.

Xoxo,
