Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder - Stay Buff

Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder in Stay Buff is an oil-free, sheer-finish pressed powder designed to control shine and refine the look of the complexion across the day. The lightweight formula sets foundation in place with a smooth matte finish without sitting heavily on the skin, making it an everyday staple for normal to oily skin and for anyone looking to keep mid-day shine under control.

About Clinique

Clinique is an American beauty brand founded in 1968 as the first dermatologist-developed makeup and skincare line, now part of The Estée Lauder Companies. The brand is built around an allergy-tested, fragrance-free approach across its full range, with the Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder one of its most enduring everyday matte-finish powders.

Key benefits

• Sheer matte finish — controls shine without looking flat, cakey or heavy
• Oil-free formula — designed specifically for oily and combination skin
• Long-wearing — keeps the complexion looking polished from morning to evening
• Smooths the look of pores — refines the appearance of texture
• Sets foundation — locks in liquid base for longer wear
• Allergy-tested, 100% fragrance free — friendly for sensitive skin and eyes
• Pocket-friendly compact — handy for handbag touch-ups

Shade

Stay Buff is a soft warm-neutral shade in the fair-to-light range — designed to deliver a sheer, mattifying veil rather than a full-coverage powder finish. It works well as both a setting powder over foundation and as a stand-alone "polish" for those with mostly even skin.

Who it's for

This powder suits anyone with normal-to-oily or combination skin who wants to control shine through the day without a heavy or cakey finish. The allergy-tested, fragrance-free formula also makes it a strong choice for sensitive skin types. Particularly useful for mid-day touch-ups, photographs and humid climates where shine can become a problem.

How to apply

1. Apply moisturiser, serum and foundation as usual
2. Tap a small amount of powder onto the supplied puff or a powder brush
3. Tap off any excess, then press gently onto the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) where shine appears first
4. Lightly sweep across the rest of the face for a polished finish
5. Use for mid-day touch-ups by pressing onto problem areas; avoid heavy application throughout the day
