Like i mentioned in earlier post, boots had a summer event and one of the things I purchased was Clinique Double Face Powder (£23) I got matched colour neutral matte which I found quite dark once I applied the powder all over my face. Luckily it's summer and I'm a bit darker than usually thanks to the heatwave we had in the UK so it's not such a big deal as it actually matches my body and my ghost like face can for once match my body colour. The powder provides a really good coverage which I was surprised with, as usually we can't expect a full coverage from a powder however this doesn't fail to cover a bit of redness or any imperfections on my face which I'm happy with. The staying power of the powder is really good too, I wore it on a work day and it stayed all day (bear in mind I work in a kitchen and my make up usually looks a mess after few hours due to the temperature in the kitchen). The only disadvantage of this powder is that it makes your face look quite powdery.
Overall I really like this powder however before buying the powder check how the shade you choose looks in natural light as it's really easy to choose wrong shade of powder. The powder has a great coverage and lasts pretty much all day. Perfect replacement for foundation during those hot summer days when we don't really want to splash loads of foundation on our face and want something lighter with a good coverage if our skin isn't perfect and let's face it hardly any of us teenagers have a flawless face without few spots and a bit of redness.
I honestly think the product deserves 6/10 as it's the best powder I ever had and definitely beats Estee Lauder double wear powder and is a little less expensive however the range of shades is really small making it really difficult to choose the right shade. I'm not sure whether I would buy the powder again simply because they don't seem to have a shade that would match me perfectly and I think I may carry on my search for the perfect powder.
Did you ever try Clinique Double Face Powder? What did you think?
Can you suggest me some other good face powders I should try?
