Great!

I have just started using this product and it is great it gives my skin a great coverage with out look to 'cake-faced', it gives you a great natural look depending how much you want to put on, if you are looking for a more flawless look you just have to put more on.

Clinque Superbalanced Foundation

I've been using this foundation for years and years. I love it. Doesn't feel oily on your skin, put it on and it feels like you're not wearing any. Great coverage and easy to spread. One of my bff's!!

Tips: Use a tissue around your jaw line if you're feeling like you have a make up line, or use a bit of bronzer on your neck to stop the pale winter look vs your face!

I LOVE this foundation. I'm the shade 01 Petal and it's absolutely perfect for me. This foundation is super lightweight, but gives a good amount of coverage (I'd say light-medium) and feels amazing on my skin. While the cover IS light-medium, you can build it up where you need to without it looking cakey. It has a super natural, satin-y finish and it doesn't clog my pores at all. I love a dewy finish and because of how light it is, when I put a dewy primer underneath it, it SHOWS. It looks stunning. I have extreme combination skin and this doesn't cling to my dry patches, nor does it look oily by the end of the day in my T-Zone. If you don't set it with a powder I find it does transfer onto things if you hug someone or whatever, but once set with powder it won't do that anymore.

My one and only complaint... Clinique, give it a PUMP. This is one of those ones where you just pour it onto your hand/palette/whatever/ Other than that I love the packaging, it's quite thick and the bottle is made of frosted glass. It is quite chunky packaging, not ideal for travel and if you dropped it I think you'd be done for. But overall I do like the look of the bottle on my vanity.

Clinique super balanced foundation

Lovely foundation,I use this once weekly,as I have dry skin this foundation is oil free and sits in my skin beautifully,it's also 100% fragrance free,I have the shade 05 vanilla,it has 2 faults,the bottle is glass which I don't like i case it's dropped and there is no pump on the bottle which is another fault with it,but I can not fault the product,it's matte so there's no shineyness on your face,it does not get on clothing (transfer)

Tips: Apply with a beauty blender for a flawless finish

Fantastc foundation

Firstly - I am concerned about the RRP on the description of this product, as I have been paying a lot more than $23 for this product - the last bottle I bought was in October 2016 and I paid more than $50AUD in duty free - so I would hope that I haven't been ripped off as I have been thinking this was a luxury product. Besides the price query - I have to say I really enjoy using this foundation and am on my third or fourth bottle. Its easy to apply, and blends nicely along the jaw and hair line, and with contouring and highlighting products. You can balance the application to be thicker in places where needed, and it doesn't look like you have heavy make-up on. It washes off easily with cleanser, but I do find that it has a slightly odd odour. As I always put perfume on as part of my morning routine its not an issue, and the odour doesn't hang around once its blended. The glass bottle makes it a decent weight, so your not likely to knock it over easily, although perhaps a pump action top might be a nice option.

Being British means I don't tan well, so I use the same colour all year long, but a friend of mine has olive tones and tells me she needs two bottles for when she has a tan.

Tips: Match your skin tone for summer and winter options if you tan easily

My Go To Foundation

I have been using this foundation for years. My skin used to be very oily when I was younger but now I would say it is a normal skin type. For both my oily skin and my dry skin this foundation has worked very well. I have also used many other foundations, mainly as I want a quick inexpensive option (this foundation isn't $23 as stated) for day to day wear and none thus far have been as good as Clinique Superbalanced.

I have always tipped a small quantity out and applied to my face bit by bit until completely covered and well blended, this has worked well for me the last 10+ years and haven't had a problem with the edges but I see wet fingertips can also be used for extra blending!

This foundation gives good coverage without feeling really heavy. I don't tend to use a powder over this foundation like I do with many others unless I wanted a full makeup look as it isn't needed. It is also amazing at keeping shine away and equally as good if you have any dry patches. Removal is a breeze with any cleanser I happen to have on hand.

It comes in a glass bottle which is easy to handle but getting the last of the foundation out can be a bit of a pain. Other than this small gripe this is one amazing foundation worth trying!

Tips: Tip out a small amount to start with as a little goes a long way.

Even matte look, no sheen!

I've been using Clinique products for well over 10yrs. I've found them brilliant for my normal/oily skiing type. Clinique Superbalance foundation feels light on my skin, it's easy to apply evenly and best of all, it leaves lasting matte finish, so need to check your compact throughout the day!

Tips: I recommend blush application too, but not crucial for even look

Good

Ive only ever used clinique foundations. Mostly because my skin on my face is super sensitive and because it is literally the only range of foundation that is light enough for me. Im so white! I apply this foundation with my fingers, ive never been fond of the thick foundation look so this product is perfect. The outcome is a light barely there cover. It does cover pimples, but not super well. I do need to use a concealer as well for my dark eye circles and acne. But I will continue buying this product

Tips: Lasts for ever

Awesome foundation

I have this foundation, but I only use it for special occasions, it is a bit pricey for everyday use (I don't think mine was so cheap as it says here $23!?). It blends into my skin so perfectly and the color suits me too as the lovely Clinique lady tried a couple of them on my skin and I bought the best match.:) It doesn't dry out my skin and I really like the smooth appearance it gives my complexion + it doesn't look unnatural at all even though it hides my imperfections so well, it still looks like my skin(looovee). I find it's easiest to work it into my skin with my fingers. Only thing I don't like is that it doesn't have a pump and I always have to pour it out of the bottle and it's really runny and I always get out too much, the consistency is good to work it into your skin, but the bottle would really need to come with a pump, or you waste too much product. I wouldn't repurchase it only because of this matter, otherwise it's my favourite foundation.

Tips: I use small, empty (washed up) tins and pour some foundation into them for easier application.
