Most Helpful Positive Review It's Clinique. It won't break you out. It's Great! This is good for all types of skin types. You don't need much. Find the type that fits your needs.
Most Helpful Critical Review It's Ok but not for me right now I bought this product to try a Clinique foundation and try to find a foundation I like with SPF for the summer. I have combination skin and with the cold weather it's been a little more dry than normal. This helped after 1 day of use and then I need to switch because it was a little to oily after that. This foundation sits on my skin. If I have to blow my nose, the foundation wipes off my nose completely with a tissue. This would work best for my skin on occasion...on those days when my skin needs a bit more hydration.

This conceals, highlights...but not in a fake way, and doesn't cake u at all! I've deff found my forever foundation!
Amazing finish, feels light and has a soft glow 5
Stephanie from Phoenixville, PA
I'm usually a full coverage girl, but this feels so light and still covers what I need. I use a little concealer and it's perfect. Gives a soft glow and makes me look and feel refreshed. My new go-to for sure. I have dry skin and some days I don't even moisturize or prime before putting this on and it still looks great. Definitely impressed, my favorite foundation Clinique has ever made.
AMAZING but make sure to set 4
Audrey from New York
Looked amazing and natural on my skin! However it does crease a lot if u don't set specific spots. I'll obviously see my smile lines, under eyes, but I will also do my forehead because I have forehead wrinkles lol and it doesn't look good if I don't set it
This is great but I wish they had more shades! 4
Erin from United States
I really love this foundation! I was using the original Even Better which is great too but I heard so many good things about the Glow version that I HAD to try it! Unfortunately, I am very fair (I am WN01-Flax in the original Even Better Makeup) and they just don't have a shade for me in the Glow version when I am at my fairest. Now that we are headed into summer and I've gotten a little sun, WN04-Bone is working well for me in this! It is SO glowy, looks like I have nothing on my skin but gives me just enough coverage that my skin looks even and healthy! I wish I could call it my holy grail but I'm going to have to go back to something else in the winter if I can't get a lighter shade!
Soooo good 5
Destiny from PA
Just recently tried this, I used to use the regular even better, but this one is way better. It's so natural looking it looks like I don't even have makeup on & it matches my skin tone perfectly.
Best foundation I've tried in years 5
Amethyst from South Carolina
Skin issues: Texture, large pores, oily t-zone, dry patches on cheeks in winter, occasional cystic acne
I normally wear BB creams/tinted moisturizers, but I needed something with more coverage for times that I had bad breakouts or was going to be on stage. I was after a foundation that wouldn't stick to dry patches or emphasize texture, so one day I went to Ulta with my skin prepped for makeup (but no foundation on) and swatched close to a dozen foundations. I didn't even check prices, just tried as many as I could that claimed to be dewy and/or for combo skin. This foundation easily won! I i also was looking for how easy they were to apply - many foundations need brushes or damp beauty blenders but this one looks great just applied with fingers! The only other foundation I've tried in recent memory that was similar (not really in consistency, but in ease of applicability and coverage) was the Estée Lauder double wear nude, which cost about $15 more and seems to be discontinued anyway? If you have any skin issues similar to mine, please give this one a try!
My FAVE 5
Carrie from Houston
Blends beautifully with a damp sponge. Light coverage but makes the skin look so pretty. Plays well with lots of different concealers and powders. I keep going back to this no matter what else I use. Such a good deal for the price too! I'll buy again and again.
Favorite - go to foundation 5
S from PA
This is my go to foundation. I've tried many, many others, but this is my go to. My skin is more of on the dry side (other than my t zone). I use the Physicians Formula loose powder over it or sometimes the Colorstay pressed powder & bye bye under eye for my concealer.
THE ONE 5
Kimi from Connecticut
This is the best foundation i've ever used on myself. I usually struggle w a foundation that is a perfect color match and doesn't make my face look flaky. It's lightweight enough to not cover my freckles, but also buildable to cover my redness. It also gives me the most amazing glow. I can't get over how much I love this foundation.
Too dry and cakey. Ugh!!! 1
Clinique user... from Wisconsin
It's too dry and cakey even after applying with heavy amts of moisturizer . Does not spread well. It's awful stuff. Moisture surge tinted foundation was the best. I prefer a transparent and dewy look vs looking like I dipped my face in a vat of flour. Even better foundation is horrible stuff. I've been making my own by putting in some moisture surge in a small container along with that even better stuff.
Finally a foundation that isn't cakey at the end of the day 5
Kdub from Cleveland Ohio
Been looking for a foundation that lasts and doesn't cake up at the end of the day. Spent 100s on trying to foundation that doesn't look like horrible mid day or after a long day. This is it finally. Doesn't cling to wrinkles or dry patches. Extremely happy I finally find an amazing foundation that light.
Feels amazing going on. Beautiful finish. 5
Katie from Ny
First time trying a Clinique foundation. This feels absolutely amazing going on. It feels so silky. It blends right into my skin and leaves a beautiful natural finish. I always take a picture of my foundations in portrait mode to see how the finish looks and I am pleased with this one. I did set it with setting powder to help it last throughout the day. I will absolutely be purchasing this again.
Great Product 5
Shirl Girl from New Orleans atea
I purchased this make-up about a week ago and absolutely love it. It provides good coverage and leaves a healthy, slightly dewy glow on your skin. It matches my skin perfectly.
Matches my skin PERFECTLY! 5
Mariah from Washington
I didn't think much about this product when I first bought it. But the match on my skin is nearly impeccable! It really has a night natural finish to the look, as well ask keeps my skin very hydrated throughout the day. I would recommend this to anyone with dryer skin during the winter. it also does have very nice coverage. I always tend to look for a medium coverage foundation since I do prefer coverage, but not a whole lot to where it looks caked on. But this foundation is absolutely natural and completes the "no makeup" makeup look.
I think I've found 'The One' 5
Izzy from Dalton, Ga
This foundation is great. I've been looking for a foundation that covers well, however also looks like skin. This works so well on my dry skin and it looks so natural. I haven't worn Clinique in about 15 years. Well I guess I'm back.
NOT FOR ACNE-PRONE SKIN 2
Regina from Augusta, GA
I didn't mind this foundation, but it wasn't the best. It oxidized and the shade range is pretty bad since I'm pretty pale. However, it was lightweight and made my skin look awesome! It didn't sink into my pores and didn't enhance dryness or anything. However, the worst part: acne. Not even wearing it for about 2 hours, I had put some on my chin to see if I liked it, and it was left on for around 2 hours before I took it off. Around 6 hours later, I noticed I had developed 2 pimples on my chin. I looked up the ingredients, seemed like nothing would break me out... EXCEPT MICA. This is the devil's ingredient to clog pores. I'm so tired of products saying they are non-acnegenic/comedogenic when they contain mica!!!! Please people, if you get acne easily STAY AWAY!
Hoping It'll Hold for the Next Decade 5
SaraC from San Diego
I mix the product with a darker color from the regular Even Better collection. I like a very natural non-make up look & this is perfect. I find I get just enough "glow" if I mix the lighter shade (e.g. CN40) with the darker shade from the other line (e.g. CN52) but can manage the depth of color to mimic the amount of sun my skin gets throughout the year. I also can never find one shade that matches perfectly anyway, so I've accepted the need for two. I had very oily acne-prone skin in my twenties (used shiseido & prescriptives...god, I'm sad prescriptives is gone) to more combination but prone to break out in my thirties (bare minerals, Dior, ugh so many didn't work out) & now am here needing more moisture than I needed before -- but not too much. What I thought was irritation with my other foundation was lack of moisture. A new problem foe me, but okay! This foundation fits ALL my requirements & I hope I can wear it into my fifties...
Impressed 5
mm708 from California
Wasn't sure how I would feel about this foundation. I usually use IT cosmetics cc cream, but had forgot it on vacation. Borrowed this from my sister instead and WOW I am thoroughly impressed. Does not feel like foundation at all. Very light and sheer, evens out skin tone. All I need is this and concealer on some trouble areas and I'm out the door. Not cakey at all!
New Holy Grail??? 5
Gabi from California
Wowowow I've never been so blown away by a product. Very few products work well with my finicky, problematic combination skin and I've been on the lookout for something that won't cling to my dry patches but also won't make me feel like a grease-slick at the end of the day. I was a little concerned at first because this is apparently a "light-reflecting" foundation, but honestly the finish is much less dewy and more... just like your skin. I'm amazed at how seamlessly it blends into the skin (using my fingers!) and how light weight it feels, while still covering up most of my redness. It's definitely light coverage and I didn't find it builds to anything more than that, but paired with my concealer it's perfect for me for day to day. I wore it for 10 hours one day, hiking another day, to concert another day where I was dancing and sweating, and it still looked great. It gives such a beautiful radiance once your natural oils show through. It's everything I've been wanting in a natural, daily foundation. 10/10 would recommend.
Need some true neutral shades 4
Sam from Florida
I like this foundation and the original Even Better but have an issue with the shade selection. The shades in the even better line are distinctly warm or cool. I am a true neutral tone and struggled to find a suitable match. For the large number of shades available I'm amazed there are no truly neutral shades. The WNs veer extremely yellow or orange and the CNs are really quite cool in tone.There are better matches out there for neutral toned girls like me. Even though I like the foundation, I probably won't buy again for that reason.
Light coverage 4
Christine from Bergen county
I enjoy using this foundation when I want a quick light makeup day look
Finally! 5
jenn210 from houston tx
I LOVE this foundation. I have tried every foundation out their from high end to drugstore. This is the ONE! I have normal skin and do not like the way makeup feels on my face. This goes on beautifully and is so easy to blend. I use only a little bit to even out my skin but can build it up for a bit more coverage. It stays on me all day (with a primer) and looks so natural. I can't tell you how hard it is for me to find a match for my skin tone but was able to find a perfect color for me. Highly recommend this for a natural, youthful look.
This is the one... 5
Indygrl76 from Sebring, Florida
Finally found my every day foundation. It's hydrating, never cakes, always looks like silk. Does not emphasize fine lines or pores. What a relief to find something that I can use that makes my skin better the more I use it. It has medium buildable coverage. Applies like a moisturizer and sets down. The only foundation I have ever found that is similar is the Lancome Renerge Lift-- but it has alcohol and not good for everyday use. This is better as it will not dry your skin or cause breakouts. I just love it. I have tried-- everything else. I've chased foundations for years-- trying every new "hydrating, luminous" foundation that comes out. Matt foundations just make me look too dry. However, most of these new miracle foundations don't melt into the skin-- at least not genuinely dry skin. I'm sure they're fabulous on young skin... but those days are history for me. I must say, this one makes me smile every day when I put it on. So grateful I found it. I wear the Cream Chamois CN40 and it's perfect. Try it!
Great natural looking foundation 5
Lilly86 from Sacramento, CA
I hate foundation because it always looks like paint on most people in real life. I've tried many brands from drugstore to high end and this is hands down my favorite. For those ladies that like a very natural look with moderate coverage, this makeup is wonderful. You can build it a bit if you need to cover some blemishes or dark circles. Or, just use a small amount to even out skin tone. I have skin that tends to be on the drier side but can be oily around my nose. This makeup works all over my face without any issue anywhere. I find it stays looking great all day as well. It's not a matte finish, more of a dewy, natural finish. It does not have shimmer in it (thank goodness!). I've used this product for about a year now. Highly recommend!
Love this light coverage 5
Hayley from Michigan
I'm a fair skinned redhead with some freckles, so I really don't like to use full coverage matte foundation. I don't even really like foundation in general, I just like to even out my skin with something really light. This works great for that purpose. It lasts a full day for me with little breakout shine, but sometimes I use the foundation/concealer pressed powder to freshen up over this. Love it!
