Hi, I used Fresh Ivory and looking to go back to it, I read it's not just IVORY I should by. I do want to know though, since this is silicone base I should not use a water primer correct? They would counteract I'm sure? Also, what type of SPF and setting spray should I use? I don't want to look to dry so I would like a hydrating spray but not water based.

Not for the faint of heart
This is my first review of a Clinique product, though I have been using them for a few years. In looking at the somewhat mixed reviews of this product. I think people don't understand that this product is for a certain type of skin (oily and acne prone) and to be used as part of a particular type of...

I would buy this product again.
I love this makeup being using it for several years now.
Formula Changed…Not for the Better
I used this foundation for about 10 years. It was my holly grail! Went on smooth and never broke me out. However, the last bottle I purchased was nothing but a disaster. Constant break outs, it clings to any dry patches…but over all it looks extremly cakey and dry on the skin. I tried multiple different moisturizers and primers but nothing seemed to work. I then decided to look into it and read that the formula had been changed. How unfortunate…I went out and purchashed a completely different foundation of another brand that has given me no problems. I would NOT recommend this foundation.
I loved It!!!!
It was perfect!! I'm buying it for all of my friends
How does this have so many stars??
I don't know if I'm not doing something right, but it definitely doesn't give you smooth coverage. It looks dry, flakey, and inconsistent. I used primer and my sponge was wet. I also tried doing it without primer with a wet sponge, and also a dry sponge with no luck. Super disappointed that a bottle of decently expensive foundation is going to waste 😭. The only pro of this is foundation is that it doesn't cause acne.
Love this
A great color match. Easy on my acne prone skin. So glad this product is available. A dream come true for me. Also covers up roscea like magic. I have a darker version for the summer months. This color I am writing about will get used when there isn't much sun in Ohio.
