Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder Oil-Free in shade Honey is the brand's bestselling shine-control powder, designed for oily and combination skin that needs a fresh, matte finish without heavy build-up. Sheer in coverage and oil-free in formula, it absorbs excess shine through the day, sets makeup, and resets midday touch-ups without looking powdery or cakey. Honey is a warm medium shade with golden undertones, suitable for medium skin tones with neutral-to-warm depth.
About Clinique
Founded in New York in 1968 as the first dermatologist-led prestige beauty brand, Clinique built its reputation on allergy-tested, 100% fragrance-free skincare and makeup. Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder has been a long-running bestseller in its complexion line, formulated to control oil while keeping the skin's natural texture visible.
Key benefits
- Oil-free, shine-absorbing formula keeps the T-zone matte through the day.
- Sheer coverage that lets natural skin show through — designed to set, not mask.
- Allergy tested and 100% fragrance free, suitable for sensitive skin.
- Dermatologist tested and non-acnegenic.
- Compact format for portable touch-ups during the day.
Who it's for
Stay-Matte is best for oily, combination and shine-prone skin types — those who find regular pressed powders feel heavy or fade through the day. Honey suits medium complexions with warm or neutral undertones; if your skin pulls cooler, Clinique offers paler shades in the same line. Equally useful as a setting powder over foundation or as a lightweight shine-controller worn alone.
How to use
- Start with a clean, moisturised base or your usual foundation.
- Lightly press the included sponge or a soft brush into the powder.
- Tap off any excess and apply across the T-zone — forehead, nose, chin.
- Build coverage gradually on areas that tend to shine, keeping the cheeks lighter.
- Carry the compact for midday touch-ups; press, don't drag, the sponge.
