This is the pressed powder that keeps coming up when oily-skin threads ask for something affordable that actually mattifies. Reviewers with greasy T-zones describe a natural matte finish that doesn't sit in fine lines or look cakey, and it's easy to touch up through the day. Very oily faces may still need a blot and a second pass after a few hours, but for a high-street compact it punches well above its price.
Beauty creators regularly list it as a high-street pressed powder that rivals pricier compacts for shine control and touch-ups.
Oily-skin reviewers like the natural matte finish and say it doesn't crease or look heavy. The most common caveat is that very oily skin may need a touch-up after a few hours.
