Neutrogena Skin Clearing Mineral Powder vs. Shiseido Pureness Mattifying Compact Oil Free!
- Neutrogena Skin Clearing Mineral Powder:
I did not necessarily like this product at all. When opening the product I noticed that it was rough like sandpaper and did not have a smooth application. I used this product for 2 weeks straight and I had to apply the Shiseido powder (review below) on top of it. Another downfall of this product is that it contains salicylic acid. I am aware that this helps acne and blemishes but going out in the sun with salicylic acid on your face is a brutal thing to do. There is no SPF in this powder, and I had to put a layer of sunscreen (SPF 50-- whereas I usually put SPF 20 or nothing at all). The product promises oil control, which was granted, but I may not be the best person to confirm that as it is summer and there is A/C almost everywhere!

- Shiseido Pureness Mattifying Compact Oil Free:
This is my holy grail product! I love this stuff! My face is super duper oily, and because of that, I always find myself with one or two pimples on my face. This stuff not only covers it up completely, it also looks natural! Unless I physically sweat the product off, this stuff stays on my face all day! Along with that, it controls oil! I recommend this stuff 100%.

TO CONCLUDE: Shiseido Pureness Mattifying Compact is what I would with my eyes closed. The only con is the price but the you get what you pay for! It's worth it.
