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.
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 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!
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
I really enjoy using this foundation! I have used a number of Clinque foundations over the years and this is one of my favourites and I have repurchased quite a few times now.
I have dry skin and this foundation has a light-med coverage with a dewy finish (not sparkly) so I like how it feels on my dry skin. It doesn’t cling to dry patches or crease up during the day.
It is easy to blend and buildable but I cant say it ever gets to full coverage. It doesn’t look cakey or ‘flat’ which is a look I really like to avoid. I find my skin sort of shows through and it gives a lovely luminosity.
I find Clinque has a pretty good colour selection. They seem to quite neutral – not too pink or yellow so it works perfectly with my skin tone. My only gripe with this foundation is the lasting power isn’t as good as other foundations. I imagine you could help this by using primer and powdering but I hate the way powder sits on my face so I just roll with it.
Tips: I wouldn’t recommend this for those with oily skin due to its dewy finish. I would also recommend using a primer to help the foundation last longer throughout the day.
This is an amazing Foundation! Medium and buildable to full coverage. On my skin this foundation has a very nice natural satin finish, it didn't emphasize fine lines under my eyes. It definitely lightens hyperpigmentation/freckles I was so impressed with this product.
Tips: I found using a flat brush to blend the foundation out then using a dry or wet beauty blender to press the foundation into the skin made it look extra flawless and air brushed.
Top foundation for me, a make up artist used it when I was going to a wedding and I have loved it ever since. It lasts all day and gives the skin a nice dewy finish. It is my special occasion make up and then I use a lighter one for days when I don't need a fall face of make up.
Tips: A little goes a long way so use sparling.
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.
Tips: I wouldn't count this as your skincare. I don't think this will bring about long term benefits to your skin, but it does give a nice natural finish and medium coverage. If you have your eye on this foundation or any Clinique product in general I would wait till they have a good GWP so you can get more big for your buck.
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 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.
