First rate for natural blendable shades

I love the light moisturising texture of this foundation and felt it did a pretty good job of covering my hyper pigmentation post pregnancy. The packaging is great - I love a foundation with a squeeze nozzle for not spilling and making a mess. Did it deliver on its claims to completely even skin tone? Not 100% but it did better than most and I appreciafed being saved from mucking around with different shades for different areas and using concealers. Could be improved by having a slightly heavier coverage - this gave a light natural coverage

Not for me

I bought this product after trying a couple of sample sizes which I really liked, great colour, good coverage, nice on my skin however when I bought the full bottle I found within a few hours my skin was completely oily. I'm not sure if it was the other products I was using with the foundation or the foundation itself. I will definitely finish the bottle off however as its a great foundation, will use it for times when I only need nice foundation for a couple of hours.

Tips: Make sure you get a sample before you buy.

BEST Natural and Flawless Dewy Foundation

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.

Clinique even better foundation

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.

Used this for years

I have used this for years now and find it amazingly easy to get onto your face. It has a light coverage. Although it claims to even out your skin tone, I don't think it actually has any ingredient in it to physically lighten the skin.

Tips: Combine with Clinique BB/CC cream underneath for a slightly better/thicker coverage and more sun protection!

Clinique Even Better Make Up

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.

Clinique foundation not for me

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!

Clinique even better foundation

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

Always a goodie

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.

Even Better than I thought

I'm a big fan of Clinique's products and previously used Clinique's Anti-Blemish foundation before switching loyalties to MAC. Recently I wanted something that colour-matched my skin better and was recommended to try Even Better by a Clinique consultant.

I have oily-combination skin which can be acne-prone although I have less concerns with breakouts now than scarring and pigmentation. I am currently using this in shade 3 - Cream Chamois, which works well on my light-medium skin. Clinique really has a great range of colours available for this foundation which I like as my skin is quite neutral-toned leaning towards warm, and this doesn't pull too pink or yellow.

The packaging of the foundation is a plastic squeeze bottle with quite a large lid. I like how secure the lid is so that you know it won't pop open in a bag. The nozzle of the bottle is also quite small which is great as it allowed me to easily regulate how much product I was dispensing.

I apply this after primer using a kabuki foundation brush to stipple and buff it into my skin. The formula has a lightweight consistency without feeling watery and provides medium coverage which is buildable if you do have areas that need a little more help. The finish is quite dewy which if you had very oily skin you may not like but as I set my foundation with powder and finishing spray, I find the finish of this helps keep my foundation from looking flat and ends up quite natural-looking.

In terms of wearability I find I get at least six hours before I notice the shine wearing through and longer before it gets a little patchy, but nothing a little touch-up won't fix. I haven't noticed any specific changes in the darkness of spots but I've only been using it a month or so. In that time I have managed to convince a beauty therapist friend of mine to switch to it as I like it so much! I've already stocked up on a couple of bottles of this duty free and will continue to purchase it.

Tips: If you don't like the dewy finish set with a heavier powder over your t-zone.
