Would be better if the spf was higher.

Yes, I recommend this

Lovely finish and colour. Really gives nice coverage and lasts well during the day. I’d give it 5* if the spf was higher.

Love it!

No, I don't recommend this

Perfect shade, great consistency and wears well. Am so pleased I made the switch and it was thanks to having the Clinique counter in my local M&S that led to me trying it.

Really lovely foundation

Originally posted on Clinique UK

I had worn Estee Lauder double wear for over 20 years to cover rosacea but when they changed the formula I just didn't like the feel of the new one on my skin. I tried many samples of foundations and this was the best. My friends have commented. Unlike DW it is not flat matte. It has a little bit of glow to it and makes me look more human, the colour is perfect and it is buildable, does cover rosacea and does not transfer. My skin feels healthier. It is a beautiful finish and I am delighted. For an exact match but better than DW try Mac as this was totally matte with great coverage but thinner than DW. It was a close call but the clinique won.

Light and Dewy !

Yes, I recommend this

Love this foundation- not too thick in texture but conceals my freckles as I was looking for! It’s also got a very slight glow, I’ve tried many many foundations, but this is the best for me by far.

Makes me look 10 years older

Originally posted on Clinique UK

Utterly disappointed. I used Even better glow for years following the discontinuation of a previous clinique foundation which was also discontinued. Ive used clinique foundation for over 17 years. The even better clinical is not better it doesn't even come close. It is thick and dry, powdery once on the skin, it sits in every pore and wrinkle. Even the ones I didn't realise I had. I looked like Lily Savage upon application. Time for me also to rebrand!

I can't do without this perfect foundation. I don't need concealer anymore as this foundation covers everything beautifully. Colour vanilla no 70.

Very disappointed with the product-after half day of having it on, it looks really bad on the skin. Do not recommend. Have been using the anti-blemish solution one for years, and will have to go back to it.

Covers Redness & Feels Light Weight

Originally posted on Clinique UK

Actually asked about this in the York Boots store... the rep was so helpful (and stunning) and really nice as I had been using a different shade in the Even Better foundations and it was now feeling wrong colour wise. Poor love had her work cut out with me I'm a short, chubby middle-aged hobbit who was bright red - Rosacea and summer heat don't mix well - she probably thought in horror that I was some sort of Orc hobbling over to the run my hands over the pretty things. However, she was amazing and offered to help and new exactly what I needed going through the different tones and matching it with a primer too. It made such a difference (we chose a lighter shade) and she made me feel great too. Although I really did disappoint her as I didn't want bronzer on and she was dying to finish the look with it. I didn't grow up allowed to wear make-up let alone with anyone to teach me how to use it thankfully I was a teenager when the grunge look was in fashion so I got away with not wearing much if any and now I'm happy just making the best of the Rosacea and finding products/companies like Clinique that look after the skin at the same time. I've used it all August now and can say it's a much better match and I get home now and I can still see that it's working - I don't look like a lobster in other words :) - though I do get paranoid about half-way through the day as it's so lightweight I think it's gone and it hasn't. Sometimes there are products that you do need to see in person to make sure it's the right match.

High hopes

I was excited to try this foundation & thought it would be better than my current even better foundation as I wanted a little more covage, unfortunately no matter how I apply & prep it is very drying in patches on my combination skin. This didn't happen with the sample. Disappointed.
