I don't like the foundation feel. I have tried so many that say they are light on the skin, or give a healthy glow, but they're always too heavy. This one I use on it's own, with just a bit of blusher and mascara. On nights out I'll add some liquid gold/brown eye shadow and highlight my brows and cheekbones. It was a chance spot and I'm going to buy 3 more. They always discontinue the one you love best! I'm fair with freckles and would normally wear an ivory foundation. Now I don't need to!

This makes my skin shiny even under double wear foundation. Nothing like as good as the 'old' Universal Super primer - pleeease bring it back.

Since being unable to buy the universal primer, I ordered a small size of both new primers. Unfortunately, neither of them have worked for me with my routine. The light reflecting primer rubbed in easily enough but for me personally it's too 'sparkly' to use all over my face and in certain parts my Clinique Superbalanced foundation looked dry on top of it. As someone with skin issues and allergies, it's always difficult when companies change or discontinue products that work for my skin. Unfortunately, I'm now going to have to find another branded primer :(

We would ask that you get in touch with our Consumer Care Team on freephone 0808 281 0228 for help with this.

Glowy primer

When you are a certain age, you don't want a shimmer or a sparkle, but a glow. This primer provides exactly that! I am so surprised at how easily this glides on and provides 'light' and 'brightness' rather than shimmer or sparkle. I am really impressed that Clinique have managed to do this. I only give it 4 starts as I like a primer to be a little more 'buffing' so that it doesn't sit into lines on the brow and forehead, and if it did that, it would be perfect! However, I would absolutely recommend this primer if you want a brighter skin.

Amazing for summer glow!

I absolutely love this primer! I use it under my makeup where I would usually apply my highlighter, and it makes my skin so glowy all day, without looking sparkly. I've also been dabbing it on my cheekbones over the top of my makeup for a more natural highlight, as well as my collar bones and shoulders.
