Clinique even better

I used the full range of clinique for a number of years and absolutely loved it. Whilst it is a little bit more expensive than many products, it has been designed for sensitive skin so it is much more gentle than others. I loved the coverage it gave me - not too light, and not too heavy. It is easy to apply and blend and comes in a large range of colours. The ladies at the clinique counter are always very very helpful and know their stuff so it makes purchasing from them an absolute pleasure. I haven't used this product for nearly two years now, as during pregnancy I reacted to almost everything, so had to reduce the amount of products on my face. Following my pregnancy I went to use it again and it had almost split as it was so old. I really must try it again and see how my skin copes!

Tips: Go and see the ladies at the clinique counter - they will match your colour perfectly and give you tips for application.

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.

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!

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.

Not suitable for Dry Skin

I am on the hunt for a flawless foundation that is suitable for my Sahara dessert skin. Currently using the Lancome Teint Idole 24 hour which I have been using since 2005. This has been a great foundation but once I hit my 30s my skin type changed so I am looking at other options.

I like the packaging as it’s easy for travel and light weight however I do prefer a pump so I can measure out product.

The consistency is quite thin, almost runny and it’s definitely more on the light to medium side of coverage. Sadly I found that I could not get this foundation to sit well on my skin. I always moisturise and use a primer. I tried different techniques to apply this foundation including fingers, kabuki brush and beauty blender but could not find a way to get it to sit Well. I think this maybe due to my dry skin and it may be ok on someone who has normal skin. I also found that it didn’t have great lasting power and did not photograph particularly well.

Sorry Clinique! I wanted to love you

Tips: Be well moisturised, use a primer, apply with fingers for best results

Even better than most foundations!

Clinique have such great products, I'm a huge fan of their skincare range as well as their makeup. I currently use their three step skincare range and have many of their foundations.

This foundation i've used on and off for years, changing between L'oreal true match and Revlon colorstay. I started using it again recently when I saw a woman post a selfie of her makeup using this, her foundation looked absolutely flawless! The coverage was perfect and her skin looked radiant. After seeing this I asked myself why I changed foundations in the first place!?!

So, for the last week I've been back using this, and now I know why I continuously go back to this foundation! The packaging is stylish and typically Clinique . I like that it's in a plastic bottle, so not breakable like other foundation bottles that are made of glass.

The colour match is perfect for me, 3-ivory. I apply it with a brush and the colour just blends so well with my skin tone. The coverage is buildable and gives a medium coverage. It hides imperfections and pimples well. What I love about this is the natural, yet slightly dewy finish.

My skin tends to be quite dry and I found Revlon colorstay used to sometimes sink into the little fine lines that I have appearing - this foundation makes them less noticeable, being a slightly dewy foundation compared to a matte finish.

This foundation really gives me a lovely, luminous glow. This foundation just feels so lightweight, and I forget I'm wearing anything.

My skin is sensitive and tends to react to some products, but I've never with this product. I like that it has an SPF included, so I don't have to worry about putting additional sunscreen on.

This foundation is definitely my holy grail, it makes my skin look so healthy and radiant - I'm in love!

Tips: Wait for a Clinique gift with purchase and you can get lots of freebies to try!

Clinique foundation

This foundation is my absolute favourite. It feels so light on the skin and has a colour to suit most people. You don't need much product to get a medium coverage but it's build able. I like the packaging because it's easy to use and the foundation comes out slowly so none goes to waste.

Tips: I recommend moisturising and priming before and a translucent powder over top. But it's one of those products that looks perfect either way

Clinique Even Better

At last, the perfect foundation! Glides on easily, just the right of amount of coverage and lasts all day. This products covers blemishes well without being too heavy and never dries the skin. It's really comfortable and light to wear. I love it.

Clinique Even Better Makeup

I love this foundation. The colour matches me perfectly and it goes on like a dream. I use the 05 neutral shade. A little goes a long way. You can also layer it for more coverage.

Tips: I pop on a primer underneath and it stays all day without any touchups. I find it goes on easier just blending iwth fingertips rather than a brush.
