Perfectly Awesome

April 17, 2012
Pros: light-weight, can't feel a thing, fresh, natural
"I use the Perfectly Real Compact Makeup as a last step on top of the Acne Solutions Liquid Makeup and this stuff gives a flawless finish. It also helps reduce shine and absorbs any oil. This stuff is awesome."

Dissappointed

March 28, 2012
"I purchased this makeup to wear with the spot corrector creams/lotions. The makeup cakes up so bad when using these creams/lotions it looks horrible. I was so dissappointed"

Loving It!

February 21, 2012
Pros: minimum application with maximum coverage
Cons: not much powder for the price but worth it anyway.
"I purchased this product just yesterday based on the good reviews I've heard from friends about this product. I must admit that it is the best foundation that I think I've ever worn. My skin has very few blemishes, so it was recommended by a consultant that I just purchase this powder alone. Once applied, my skin looks as if it is glowing and it looks perfectly flawless. It allows me to have that so fresh and so clean look."

AWESOME! best powder foundation ever!

November 9, 2011
"I have been using Clinique powder foundation and the Citybase compact foundation for 20+ years. I love this powder the best! The superdouble didnt control my t-zone shine like this one does. It has wonderful coverage and I never feel cakey. Its blends wonderfully too. Us combo girls love this stuff! thank you againh :)"

Best Foundation for Asians

October 11, 2011
Pros: buildable coverage, weightless feeling on your face, portable packaging, good size application mirror, seperate compartment for the applicator, wonderful shade selection
"I have been using Clinique for over a decade and recently switched to powder based foundations after years of liquid foundation usage. Liquids always felt too heavy and I was aware I had makeup on the entire day. This is not the case with this product! I am currently using shade 108. My face feels like there is nothing on, and it has actually improved my skin tone. Also, as an Asian woman, Clinique has always delivered foundations that perfectly match all Asian undertones. This is a wonderful product and I use this alone as my primary foundation on my face - it has buildable coverage so if you prefer more, you simply apply more product. I have another that I keep in my purse for last minute touch ups - genious packaging - extremely portable and it never breaks! I highly recommend this product - you will not be dissappointed."

Best makeup!

September 22, 2011
"I have been using this makeup for a while now, and it has never disappointed me yet. It goes on so easy being a powder compact, yet it looks like i have full makeup on, and it always looks flawless. This has got to be the best makeup that Clinique has to offer."

Better than SuperDouble!!

September 13, 2011
Pros: controls shine, pores look smaller
"I recently switched from the super double powder to this and I can't believe that I didn't try this sooner. It has more coverage than the stay-matte but controls shine and doesn't look heavy or cakey or dry. My forehead was getting really shiny with the super double so I'm glad I tried this, the coverage is better for me too. It truly looks like your skin but better!! It also doesn't oxidize if you touch-up with invisible matte. Please don't stop making this wonderful powder for us combo-skin girls Clinique, Thanks!!"

Just as fantastic as the liquid version!

June 30, 2011
Pros: buildable coverage, long lasting, holds up to humidity and sweat, looks natural
Cons: foam round for application
"I used the liquid version of this in the winter and thought this would be the perfect summer alternative. It has been! I love that I can build the coverage and that it doesn't leave me looking "powdered." It has been great controlling the oil and sweat caused by the Georgia heat and humidity. Lasts through all of that all day long. Now that is one heck of a foundation! I do suggest however to use a powder brush instead of the foam round provided in the compact."

Really miss clarifying powder...

June 25, 2011
Pros: does not cause acne, good coverage
Cons: color selections, short lasting
"I have been using clinique for 20+ years, and they keep discontinuing the foundations I use. I was a HUGE fan of clarifying powder foundation in clarifying cream and this is an inadequate replacement. I can't find a color that works and I look sickly by the end of the day. I really hope they consider bringing back the clarifying powder or find a better alternative. For the first time, looking at other brands for foundation..."

Perfect Color Match

June 7, 2011
Pros: coverage color match looks natural
Cons: kinda skimpy on the amt of product for the price
"I love this powder. I use it along with the liquid foundation and the smoothing concealer. The color is a perfect match for me. I'm just a little disappointed in the amount for the price. Still, even with the heavy coverage that I need, it does a great job in concealing my flaws. I'll repurchase as I love the color match and the coverage. I use this powder with a brush and it looks wonderfully natural."

More of a Powder not a foundation

May 31, 2011
Pros: long lasting powder, does not crumble or spill
Cons: this item is pricey forva powder
"When I purchased this product, I thought it was a powder foundation. I find it to be an excellent finishing powder to set my makeup as well as a touchup powder. It fits great in my purse and the powder is solid and does not crumble or make a mess in the compact. I will definitely reorder when the time comes!"

Nice lightweight coverage!

May 31, 2011
Pros: nice coverage, looks natural, easy to use
Cons: the compact could be tricky
"I love the ease of use of this product. It covers my uneven skin and leaves my face looking fresh and natural. It's also quick to apply which I love.
The only thing I would change is the compact itself. It opens easy with the push of a button, however, the applicator is under the makeup cake. You have to lift the make up cake (which is hinged) to get to the applicator. This would be tricky if you didn't have fingernails. Other than that, I love it!

Great Powder Foundation

April 14, 2011
"This is a great powder foundation. I wear it over my liquid foundation (superbalanced) when I'm going out at night as an extra shine control. Also I work in a Vet's office and I don't like to wear too much makeup and this is great for that it gives great coverage alone and controls my shine."

BEST Powder for ACNE/OILY SKIN

April 12, 2011
Pros: covers well, doesn't cause breakouts, perfect for oily skin, silky smooth
Cons: none! love this
"I've used this powder for 7 years now. It goes on smooth, and covers very well. I have red acne scars so I have to use my line smoothing concealer (love it) to cover them up just a little better. This doesn't break me our. I just have my occasional breakouts. Don't ever discontinue this product!!!! It is so hard for us people that have acne and scarring to find such a great product like this one. Clinique You are my Number 1!!"

found my new fav...

April 11, 2011
Pros: great coverage, light weight, separate sponge compartment
Cons: nothing!!!
"I have used superpowder double face makeup for years. I was running low so I went to pick up some more. They were out and trying to hide my panic I asked if anything was comparable. Perfectly real was suggested so I reluctantly bought it and I am so glad I did!!! It covers better than the superpowder double and doesn't feel heavy or "cakey". I work outside all day in the heat and humidity and it stays on, I was amazed!! I also love the fact that the sponge has its own compartment. I highly recommend this product and this has now became my favorite!!"
