description

This lightweight pressed powder blots oil and stops shine without messing up your makeup. Don’t let the pale lavender color fool you; this baby goes on invisibly and works on every skin tone. Try it on naked skin (if you run into the hot guy at the gym), or over foundation (for touch-ups on the dance floor without destroying your makeup). Because the formula contains super lightweight, oil-absorbing rice powder, you won't feel the powder but you'll see the shine-free results. Because it’s made from rice powder, this lightweight, super-absorbent formula not only banishes shine, but also absorbs oil. Most pressed powders mix with the skin’s natural oils and can end up looking cakey on your complexion, but not De-Slick. And it’s infused with tea tree oil to calm and soothe sensitive skin. This shine-fighting formula comes in a luxe Lucite compact with a pretty-but-edgy design drenched in signature dark purple.

This product does what it says, for me. I've used it only a few days though, so maybe my opinion will change over time and if that's the case I'll update. I really like it! I was trying to decide...

I loved the compact on this (which is what drew me to it in the first place) but I did not love the product, so I returned it. The powder was a white chalky mess, that left a ghostly pallor on my...

This powder is great. I was a regular user of MAC's pressed Blot powder until I tried this. The fact it's not tinted means it doesn't mess with the shade of my foundation at all. Nor does it look...

The great things about this product is that it does blot oil well without adding any cakiness. I use it about two times a day, and it keeps me pretty matte. Instead of using the slim puff that...

Eh. This mattifying powder is just okay. The packaging is cute, it does an adequate job of absorbing shine and though it's light blue/lavender in the compact it goes on totally colorless. ...
