Clinique is amazing

It's been quite a while since I've used this but only because I've been using a powder for speed and saving a little money after having small people come along! This is probably one of my all time favourite foundations. It is so great for combination skin as it does exactly what it says. It balancing out the skin so beautifully and I love the way that it looks on. A little bit dewy but also not shiny. Just beautiful. I really need to go back to the clinique counter and check my skin again and try get back into it.

Another great foundation!

Clinique is one of my go to brands for cosmetics and skincare. Even better by Clinique is one of my favourite foundations, so I wanted to give this one a go also.

The package is distinctive of Clinique, simple, sleek and stylish with it’s silver top and plain bottle. It just looks classy.

In terms of my skin, my skin can be rather dry and sometimes reactive- which is why Clinique is always a good option for me. So gentle!

This has nice coverage, medium and looks lovely on this skin. It’s just another nice foundation from Clinique. It’s a matte finish, which is different than even better. It also has more coverage.

Well another winner from Clinique, a great foundation for dry skin that gives lovely coverage.

Tips: Wait for a gift with purchase to try out the other goodies Clinique has!

My Go To Foundation

I have been using this foundation for years. My skin used to be very oily when I was younger but now I would say it is a normal skin type. For both my oily skin and my dry skin this foundation has worked very well. I have also used many other foundations, mainly as I want a quick inexpensive option (this foundation isn't $23 as stated) for day to day wear and none thus far have been as good as Clinique Superbalanced.

I have always tipped a small quantity out and applied to my face bit by bit until completely covered and well blended, this has worked well for me the last 10+ years and haven't had a problem with the edges but I see wet fingertips can also be used for extra blending!

This foundation gives good coverage without feeling really heavy. I don't tend to use a powder over this foundation like I do with many others unless I wanted a full makeup look as it isn't needed. It is also amazing at keeping shine away and equally as good if you have any dry patches. Removal is a breeze with any cleanser I happen to have on hand.

It comes in a glass bottle which is easy to handle but getting the last of the foundation out can be a bit of a pain. Other than this small gripe this is one amazing foundation worth trying!

Tips: Tip out a small amount to start with as a little goes a long way.

Fantastc foundation

Firstly - I am concerned about the RRP on the description of this product, as I have been paying a lot more than $23 for this product - the last bottle I bought was in October 2016 and I paid more than $50AUD in duty free - so I would hope that I haven't been ripped off as I have been thinking this was a luxury product. Besides the price query - I have to say I really enjoy using this foundation and am on my third or fourth bottle. Its easy to apply, and blends nicely along the jaw and hair line, and with contouring and highlighting products. You can balance the application to be thicker in places where needed, and it doesn't look like you have heavy make-up on. It washes off easily with cleanser, but I do find that it has a slightly odd odour. As I always put perfume on as part of my morning routine its not an issue, and the odour doesn't hang around once its blended. The glass bottle makes it a decent weight, so your not likely to knock it over easily, although perhaps a pump action top might be a nice option.

Being British means I don't tan well, so I use the same colour all year long, but a friend of mine has olive tones and tells me she needs two bottles for when she has a tan.

Tips: Match your skin tone for summer and winter options if you tan easily

Clinique super balanced foundation

Lovely foundation,I use this once weekly,as I have dry skin this foundation is oil free and sits in my skin beautifully,it's also 100% fragrance free,I have the shade 05 vanilla,it has 2 faults,the bottle is glass which I don't like i case it's dropped and there is no pump on the bottle which is another fault with it,but I can not fault the product,it's matte so there's no shineyness on your face,it does not get on clothing (transfer)

Tips: Apply with a beauty blender for a flawless finish

Always go back to this one

This was my first ever foundation I bought and I loved it. I've repurchased it regularly over the years and it's been great. Although my most recent purchase (this month) the product didn't help keep my oily T-zone under control as well as it used to and I found I had to repowder more often than before. This could be my skin changing as I sadly age :( or because I've been trialling a new moisturiser???

Overall, love this product, blends very easily and well. Coverage is medium but build-able. Great colour selection range. Last on my roughly 8ish hours with 1 touch up powdering or oil blot

Recent Favourite

I LOVE this foundation. I'm the shade 01 Petal and it's absolutely perfect for me. This foundation is super lightweight, but gives a good amount of coverage (I'd say light-medium) and feels amazing on my skin. While the cover IS light-medium, you can build it up where you need to without it looking cakey. It has a super natural, satin-y finish and it doesn't clog my pores at all. I love a dewy finish and because of how light it is, when I put a dewy primer underneath it, it SHOWS. It looks stunning. I have extreme combination skin and this doesn't cling to my dry patches, nor does it look oily by the end of the day in my T-Zone. If you don't set it with a powder I find it does transfer onto things if you hug someone or whatever, but once set with powder it won't do that anymore.

My one and only complaint... Clinique, give it a PUMP. This is one of those ones where you just pour it onto your hand/palette/whatever/ Other than that I love the packaging, it's quite thick and the bottle is made of frosted glass. It is quite chunky packaging, not ideal for travel and if you dropped it I think you'd be done for. But overall I do like the look of the bottle on my vanity.

Good

Ive only ever used clinique foundations. Mostly because my skin on my face is super sensitive and because it is literally the only range of foundation that is light enough for me. Im so white! I apply this foundation with my fingers, ive never been fond of the thick foundation look so this product is perfect. The outcome is a light barely there cover. It does cover pimples, but not super well. I do need to use a concealer as well for my dark eye circles and acne. But I will continue buying this product

Tips: Lasts for ever

Clinque Superbalanced Foundation

I've been using this foundation for years and years. I love it. Doesn't feel oily on your skin, put it on and it feels like you're not wearing any. Great coverage and easy to spread. One of my bff's!!

Tips: Use a tissue around your jaw line if you're feeling like you have a make up line, or use a bit of bronzer on your neck to stop the pale winter look vs your face!
