In our quest for the perfect foundation, we recently tried the IT Cosmetics CC+ Airbrush Perfecting Powder Foundation, and we have mixed feelings. Right out of the gate, the buildable full coverage impressed us, effectively blurring the look of pores and concealing dark spots. We appreciate the lightweight feel, which is pivotal for a powder foundation—it didn’t leave our skin looking cakey or dry. The inclusion of hydrolyzed collagen and niacinamide gives it an added boost of hydration, making it ideal for our combination skin. However, we did notice that while it provided a flawless finish initially, touch-ups were necessary throughout the day. Ultimately, this powder foundation delivers on its promises, but the longevity might be a factor to consider for those with more active lifestyles. Overall, it’s a solid option worth exploring, especially for fans of a polished airbrush look.

In our quest for a reliable solution to combat oily skin, we recently turned our attention to Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder. From the moment we opened the sleek compact, we felt the promise of a shine-free complexion. This lightweight powder effortlessly glides over the skin, blurring imperfections while delivering a smooth, matte finish that lasts throughout our busy day. We appreciate its buildable formula—perfect for those of us who like to layer for extra coverage without feeling cakey. The oil-absorbing capability is impressive, keeping our skin looking fresh even during humid conditions. Plus, the range of shades available ensures that everyone can find their perfect match. Overall, Clinique Stay-Matte Pressed Powder has quickly become a staple in our makeup routine—a dependable companion for maintaining that coveted oil-free look.
