Clinique Even Better Makeup SPF 15 Reviews

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.

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.

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.

I am on the hunt for a flawless foundation that is suitable for my Sahara dessert skin. Currently using the Lancome Teint Idole 24 hour which I have been using since 2005. This has been a great foundation but once I hit my 30s my skin type changed so I am looking at other options.

I like the packaging as it’s easy for travel and light weight however I do prefer a pump so I can measure out product.

The consistency is quite thin, almost runny and it’s definitely more on the light to medium side of coverage. Sadly I found that I could not get this foundation to sit well on my skin. I always moisturise and use a primer. I tried different techniques to apply this foundation including fingers, kabuki brush and beauty blender but could not find a way to get it to sit Well. I think this maybe due to my dry skin and it may be ok on someone who has normal skin. I also found that it didn’t have great lasting power and did not photograph particularly well.

Sorry Clinique! I wanted to love you

This foundation was recommended to me as I tend to have red cheeks and blemishes. It covers my face perfectly and feels like I am wearing nothing. A little goes a long way so it lasts a long time. Very easy to find a shade that works :)

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.

I got a sample of this and I'm impressed how long it has lasted me I've been using this several times a a week for the better part of a month and I still have quite a few uses left. Find this foundation blends really well, gives a natural finish, doesn't look cakey or streaky and has a reasonable wear time. I've used this when I've had oily skin and it wore well but when I had dry skin it didn't went on smoothly. It's a good foundation and the price is reasonable. Now I didn't give it more because of the skin care claims. I like that it has spf but I don't think this foundation can replace skincare or that did help to improve my skin over time. I still have the same sunspots I had when I started using this and this only helps to give my skin a more even skin tone temporarily. I still have to use a concealer over my blemishes, under eye circles and sunspots or just let them peek through. This foundation is medium to light coverage so I expect I'll have to use a concealer for more coverage. But the main reason I'm not going to repurchase this once I use up the sample is that while I can make the shade I have work at nighttime, especially once I've done a full face, I want something that matches my skintone better and isn't too light or dark or too pink, which is the problem with the shade I have. Unfortunately, it was the best match the lady at the counter could find for me. But if you can find a perfect match in this range and want a good medium coverage foundation this is a good option.

I heard a lot of hype around this product from a Youtuber, who has combination skin - more on the oily side. However, I have combination skin - more on the dry side. I brought this product anyway as I was on the lookout for a lighter everyday foundation that still had great coverage. I apply the foundation with a damp beauty blender. At first this foundation really does provide great coverage that still appears light and as your own skin. It smooths pores and doesn't accentuate texture. However, while this foundation looks great on certain areas of my skin, it really clings onto dryness. Around my nose and chin, it appears cakey and was breaks up. Throughout the day it appears worse and settles into lines, exaggerating dryness even more. I would say it is worth trying if you have oily skin, but I would not recommend even better for dry skin.

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 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
