Beautifully smooth finish

Yes, I recommend this

The only foundation that feels completely weightless and doesn’t irritate my skin. It offers great but light coverage making my skin look smooth and natural. On my first wearing of it a friend commented on how good my skin looked and asked what had I done to achieve it. Just a small amount was enough to conceal minor blemishes and give my skin a nice even tone. I have previously used Clinique foundation and found that it made my skin look more youthful. This one has the same effect. After trying many foundations I have found one that suits my skin. Great range of shades. I found a good match for my dark skin which was remarkable as I had to select online because I couldn’t get to a store.

This is a repeat purchase for me. I don’t buy premium products for all of my makeup needs but this product glides on, stays put and has the right balance of coverage with a slight sheen for smooth, healthy looking skin. Plus it lasts for ages- a little goes a long way.

Gorgeous coverage, glides on so smoothly

Yes, I recommend this

I absolutely love this product, the coverage fabulous considering it is so light. I showed it to my daughter using my hand to demonstrate, where the skin is darker than my face, with freckles, wrinkles and scars - couldn’t believe how it blurred the appearance of the skin! Genuinely so impressed because when it is on my face it really improves my appearance.

Caution - apply before you buy

Dreadful product! Was persuaded to switch from my usual foundation which is light and glides on leaving a natural finish to this as with age I needed more coverage.Heavy, difficult to apply even after applying moisturiser.Mixing a little with moisturiser helped but not much.I apply with finger tips - takes a lot to wash it off so I suppose it has good staying power!Matching your skin shade is great.As mature Asian woman it can be difficult to get good colour match.The colour range is good which is the only good thing I can say.My advice is to apply it your entire face yourself without help of an assistant before you buy.

I’m impressed by Clinique products and now buy them at M&S, the usual assistant was day off but a cashier asked for assistance who arrived soon after and was most helpful

Good foundation, poor bottle design

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

Love this foundation, but it is pricey. I know it's more eco friendly to have a glass bottle to recycle but there is so much waste with it. Once it's too empty for the pump to work you can use a thin brush to scrape the bottom half but there is about a weeks worth around the top half that you can't get to,

Amazing

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

Yes, I recommend this

I bought this foundation 2 months ago in store. As a brown woman, my shade is very hard to match as some foundation goes too yellow, too orange or slightly too light. It is a nightmare to find the correct shade. I have combination skin, dark spots, uneven tone and hyperpigmentation. I have some wrinkles around my eyes and some pores around my nose. I tried this foundation in the shade "sand" and i was absolutely happy because it was an exact match to my skin tone. It covered all my imperfections. Did not settle into my fine lines and pores. I have been wearing this for 2 months (3-4 times a week) and it did not oxidised as well. I only use moisturiser with SPF and apply the foundation, set it with the clinique powder and job done. I don't wear anything else. It didn't fade any spots or anything like that but it makes my skin look good. It does not feel heavy as well. Also this is my first foundation ever purchase from Clinique. I do not think i can get any bettEr match like this, therefore Clinique has just got themselves a new customer for life. Thank you.

Disappointed - first time ever with Clinique

Originally posted on clinique.co.uk

No, I don't recommend this

I only wear Clinique foundation, liked the sound of this but agree with others, the colour is not 'Ivory' as other foundations I've tried, the colour is more yellow and it doesn't go onto my skin as well, it ends up streaky and patchy. I thought I'd get used to it but I really don't like it! I shall stick to the combination of the stay-matte oil-free makeup and beyond perfecting foundation + concealer which I use together, they are great no issues and perfect colour. My skin glows and looks natural, with this it collects in the fine lines and pores even with the pore defying primer. Not what I expected at all, shame.
