WHY WE LOVE THIS
A little goes a long way with this compact. Â A light texture, which leaves a velvety, luminous yet matte finish on the skin. Â Not to mention the gorgeous case!
“A smart compact that closes with a satisfying click. Â I don’t use a pressed powder day-to-day but I keep this in my bag for a quick top deck of the bus tidy up.”

WHY WE LOVE THIS
As well as being light, creamy and a dream to apply, this powder also mattifies, blurs and gives you a beautiful luminosity to your skin.
“This stuff is dreamy and creamy and gives you an all-over pop whilst setting your make up in place.

WHY WE LOVE THIS
A finely milled powder, which is great for setting your make up without caking or settling into any fine lines. Â Great for oily T-zones and gives a beautiful blurring effect to the skin.
“No foundation needed. Truly does airbrush you – an amazing fixer-upper for when you look blotchy and crap. It’s really warm looking, if you know what I mean and gives your face depth straight away almost without needing anything else. If you could only put one thing on, this really makes a difference”

WHY WE LOVE IT
This powder gives great, long lasting coverage and glides on easily. Â This feels wonderfully light on the skin and has a gorgeous velvety texture.
“I use this on my t-zone when I have completed my make up. Â It minimises the look of enlarged pores on the nose and mattifies forehead/chin if needed. Â Pressed means no mess and it lasts for ages. Â Good for a touch up during the day if you need to keep down the shine. Â This is tinted but if you prefer, Clinique also have a Stay Matte Universal Blotting Powder which is colour free.”

WHY WE LOVE IT
Are you after a little indulgence and luxury for your daily makeup routine? Â This certainly fits the bill. Â This powder mattifies and gives a lovely blurring effect to the skin leaving it looking radiant and feeling soft and smooth.
” I decided I wanted a setting powder after binge-watching Mrs Maisel: I love the way she powders her nose with a gorgeous looking palette. So 50’s and glam!
This is translucent so will work on any skin colour. Â It will keep you looking matte on your skin where you may get sweaty (upper lip, forehead) but still dewy.
Gives a great blurred effect in photos!”
