Review : Clinique Almost Powder Makeup

Got this from swap from a fellow Girltalker.

PRODUCT INFO from CLINIQUE:

More than minerals. Skin looks, acts happier. Long-wear formula helps keep pores out of trouble. Antioxidants and SPF protect skin. This natural, perfecting “no-makeup” makeup is so lightweight, you’ll never even feel it. So foolproof, you can apply it with a sponge, a brush-and almost with your eyes closed. For all skin types. Sheer to moderate coverage.

RETAIL PRICE: Around Php 1,500++. Will verify the price.

WEIGHT : 10 grams

> Fair
> Neutral fair
> Light
> Neutral

WHAT I LIKE:
* love the green, thin compact!
* powder has a fine, smooth texture
* glides like silk on the skin
* feels lightweight
* its Clinique - guaranteed mild!
* unscented
* has SPF 15
* average oil control (3-4 hrs)

WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
* shade is a kinda light on me but this is also great as a highlight powder.
* ordinary powder puffs doesn't fit into the compact
* powder has sheer coverage. Does not cover imperfections.

TIPS:
Since the powder is a bit light for my skintone instead of using a puff, I just use my Everyday Minerals long handled Kabuki brush. I swirl the brush on the powder, tap the excess and apply sparingly on my face.

ADDICTION FACTOR:
Maybe I'll just finish this one up, but will not repurchase. There are other inexpensive powders that work just the same.

RATING :
3.5 / 5

Swatch - taken with flash

I didn't blend the powder so that you can see the color.

Till next time,
