****CliniqueBlendedFacePowder and Brush ****
I first tried this when i was given a free sample of it last year and i love it.
**About brand**
Clinque sell high quality make up and toiletry products. I love clinque products and don't think i have ever came across a product that i have been unhappy with . The brand is great and if i could afford to i would stock up on it lol.
**Packaging**
This comes in a clear round tub with a twisty lid. I have also received this quite a few times in one of clinques ?buy .... and get something free? . These ones tend to come in a round cardboard box and you get 2g worth of product. I would say this is worth getting to try the product out and at the same time treat yourself to other products !! :P.

Transparency 2
Transparency 3
Transparency 4
Transparency 5
TransparencyNeutral
The sale assistant recommended Transparency 3 for my skin- which is fair, with yellow undertones.
Clinique claims the powder 'makes pores seem to disappear', and it does! It leaves a lovely, natural effect- not cakey or powdery at all. A great improvement from my ...
Advantages: *Perfect matte finish *Lasts all day; 6 month lifetime *Blends for unnoticeable coverage Disadvantages: *Price - but still a good investment!
Having tried nearly all the high street brands of facepowder, I was getting pretty desperate and willing to pay a bit more to see if some of the 'designer' beauty brands offered me more for my money. I have always trusted Clinique as a brand and this time they didn't let me down - I have very oily but sensitive skin, with the odd few blemishes, spots and visible pores on my T-zone. I was looking for a powder that was quick and simple to apply, without all this 'tidemark' business, and one that would totally mattify my oily skin whilst not making me break-out in spots or blemishes. And I found it! In my opinion it gave me about 90% coverage and blended really nicely with my skin (ask the lady at the counter for which shade to go for... I was about to buy one about 2 shades too dark before she asked if the powder was for me!). As far as I ...
