I was walking past the Clinique counter when they had a big thing on for people to get colour matched and find their perfect foundation- I of course want perfect foundation so I hopped on the chair and the assistant went to work. I was matched with Even Better in #2. It looked great in the beautifully lit counter area and at the very reasonable price of $45 why not just buy it? Big mistake- bit entirely Cliniques fault - I should have sampled and always will first from now on. I have it a good week of trial but the colour is just not right for me. The texture of the foundation is really good- light weight but with decent, buildable coverage which I like for day wear because I like a fuller coverage foundation with a really natural finish. I really wanted it to work for me. I have since been back to a different Clinique counter and had myself and my daughter colour matched (and got samples this time) but it still wasn't the right colour- for either of us - I think we must have a hereditary skin colour that is not in the Clinique range- is that possible? I feel bad because I really like Clinique - so I bought a lippy and an eyeliner just to show my support for the brand- no hard feelings etc etc.

Tips: Get a sample and try it at home for yourself. And closely inspect in the rear vision mirror- it seems to show every flaw in magnified detail!
I passed the Clinique counter in mg local mall and the assistant asked if I would like to try. I am always keen to try new things so we had a bit of a chat about my skin and then she gave me a sample.
I used the sample for a few days with such good results I bought the product which at the time there was buy one, get one free.
The bottle is a bit plain, not too flash really with a silver colour lid which twists off. The make up is easy to apply and goes on nice and evenly.
It is quite a light overage which I find good for day wear but I use another make up for evening wear as I prefer more coverage. I love that it has an spf in it. It will stay in place for the day and is very easy to remove in the evening.
I have used this for years now and find it amazingly easy to get onto your face. It has a light coverage. Although it claims to even out your skin tone, I don't think it actually has any ingredient in it to physically lighten the skin.
Tips: Combine with Clinique BB/CC cream underneath for a slightly better/thicker coverage and more sun protection!
I really enjoy using this product, it's great for everyday use and is very easy to apply. I like this product because it looks nice and natural and you can easily build it up if desired. It works great for my sensitive skin, and I find it doesn't clog my pores and looks great. I would definitely recommend to anyone :)
Tips: I like to apply this product with a foundation brush as it works well for a more even coverage.
This is my favourite foundation. I have hyper-pigmentation so it really appreals to me that it contains ingredients to help fade the pigmentation as well as helping to conceal it. What really appeals to me is that it's a 4 in 1 product (foundation, pigmentation treatment, it moisturises and provides sun protection). My skin has neutral undertones (not cool or warm) and I find that a lot of other brands of foundation are either too pink or too yellow for me, but this foundation comes in a huge range of shades and different undertones and comes in the ideal shade for me. It gives a very natural, buildable coverage and makes my skin look and feel gorgeous, healthy and dewy. I like having good coverage because of my pigmentation but I hate looking like I'm wearing a mask of foundation and this foundation still lets my skin show through. A little goes a long way so even though it's a little expensive it's worth it. I also like that it's in a very hygienic squeeze bottle with a small tip on it so it's easy to control how much you get and avoids possible contamination of the foundation in the bottle.
Tips: The only people I wouldn't recommend this to would be anyone who has oily skin, because this foundation has a dewy finish. Someone with oily skin would really need a more matte foundation, in which case I would recommend Estee Lauder Double Wear. I used to have oily skin but now that I am...a wee bit older...my skin is 'normal' so I have switched to this.
I bought this product after trying a couple of sample sizes which I really liked, great colour, good coverage, nice on my skin however when I bought the full bottle I found within a few hours my skin was completely oily. I'm not sure if it was the other products I was using with the foundation or the foundation itself. I will definitely finish the bottle off however as its a great foundation, will use it for times when I only need nice foundation for a couple of hours.
Tips: Make sure you get a sample before you buy.
I love the light moisturising texture of this foundation and felt it did a pretty good job of covering my hyper pigmentation post pregnancy. The packaging is great - I love a foundation with a squeeze nozzle for not spilling and making a mess. Did it deliver on its claims to completely even skin tone? Not 100% but it did better than most and I appreciafed being saved from mucking around with different shades for different areas and using concealers. Could be improved by having a slightly heavier coverage - this gave a light natural coverage
This foundation is great. It is more of a fuller coverage foundation however you can always apply less to get a more natural look. i have very oily skin and i find that it works great with my skin.You only have to use a little bit of it to get a good coverage.
I personally use it to cover redness but it works well at concealing under the eyes also. Would recommend if you are looking for a foundation that is easy and fast to apply.
Personally i have found that sometimes it dries my skin out a bit so i will have to go a few days without wearing it however this means that it isn't oily so it has never clogged my pores or given me blemishes.
I really like this foundation for every day at work wear. I have pigmentation on my cheeks and forehead so I really love that this foundation has ingredients in it that help to fade the pigmentation as well as conceal it.
It's a wonderful 3 in 1 product (foundation, pigmentation treatment and SPF 15 sun protection). I'm time poor in the mornings so am always a fan of multi-tasking products.
It gives a nice medium coverage and makes my skin look healthy and sort of dewy (but not shiny). I prefer having good coverage because of my pigmentation but I really don't like looking like I'm wearing a mask of foundation and this foundation still lets my skin show through so it's not at all mask-like (unless, of course, you apply a lot).I do wear it with a Clinique cc cream (some days) and a setting powder (every day) and sure, it doesn't stay perfect all day but I'm working on finding a new powder to help with this, because I do really love the way this looks when I first apply it. I did find it lasted longer when I used it with my Dr Hauschka setting powder as opposed to my Revlon one, and I wonder if it would last even longer with a Clinique setting powder.
I love the squeeze tube bottle, which is very hygienic and easy to get out of the bottle. The size of the bottle makes it a breeze to travel with, and I think it would probably last 5 months comfortably. Id buy this again.
This is a great foundation, I did find it hard to build coverage, it lasted all day pretty well and didn't looked cakey. It is perfect for a lightweight natural look :) they have a pretty good colour selection too I found. It never clogged my pores either, it was a nice foundation :)
Tips: Using a primer underneath may help it last longer
