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.

Fabtastic powder! I love how it comes in one color and it's translucent so that it works for all skin tones. There's nothing I hate more than buying a powder that doesn't work with my face....

I am still on the fence about this one. I was using MAC Prep/Prime powder and I loved it because it really helped in making my pores look smaller, but didn't do much for the shine. This product...

Overall, I really like this product. It kept me matte and kept the shine away. I agree with a lot of the other users about the packaging. I don't think it closes as secure as it could. And lets be...

Like everyone else said, this is a great at de-slicking my T-zone. I like to use it after applying sunscreen to my face and halfway through the day. The compact is cute but I'd prefer a lighter,...

So far, this has been the best powder for getting rid of shine. I thought that the compact was cute. However, mine did not come with a puff/sponge so I use my Too Faced Kabuki to apply it. This has...
