Clinique Blended Face Powder 25g - Transparency 3

Clinique Blended Face Powder 25g in shade Transparency 3 is the brand's iconic loose setting powder, a Clinique staple since the 1970s, designed to set and refresh make-up with a soft, undetectable finish. The translucent-with-warmth Transparency 3 shade suits light-medium skin tones, smoothing the look of pores and fine lines while keeping foundation and concealer in place through the day.

About Clinique

Clinique is the American skincare and make-up brand founded in 1968 within the Estée Lauder Companies as the first dermatologist-developed cosmetics line. Every Clinique formula is allergy-tested and 100% fragrance-free, designed to be safe for sensitive skin and contact-lens wearers. The Blended Face Powder is one of the brand's most recognised originals — sold in the same lavender packaging for over five decades.

Key features

• Loose setting powder: sets foundation and concealer for longer wear without caking
• Buildable, translucent-leaning finish: Transparency 3 adds a soft veil of warm-neutral colour
• Talc, kaolin and zinc stearate base: absorbs excess shine and softens the look of pores
• Allergy-tested, 100% fragrance-free: formulated to be safe for sensitive skin
• Free from parabens and phthalates

Who it's for

Transparency 3 is a useful pick for light-medium skin tones with neutral-to-warm undertones, particularly anyone who finds their make-up turns shiny by mid-afternoon or settles into fine lines. A traditional, generous-sized loose powder rather than a heavy "full coverage" setting powder — best for those who want a polished, comfortable finish at home or on a vanity table.

How to use

1. After foundation and concealer, tap a small amount of powder into the inside of the lid.
2. Press a velour puff or fluffy powder brush into the powder, then tap off the excess.
3. Press or sweep across the face, focusing on the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) where shine tends to break through first.
4. Build a second light layer if you want extra hold for long days, photography or warm weather.
5. Replace the lid securely; loose powder keeps best in a cool, dry environment.
