I am currently using Clinique Super Powder Double Face but now that I am over 40 years old, it is not settling on my face well anymore. Will the Almost Powder be better for me?
- Asked by Abs
- Official Answer By Clinique USWe are so glad you reached out. Clinique Almost Powder Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 18 Foundation is a sheerer formula than Clinique Super Powder Double Face Makeup. We think you will also benefit from applying primer before makeup. Clinique Even Better Light Reflecting Primer or Clinique Even Better Pore Defying Primer are great options to prep skin.Was this answer helpful to you

By far the best face powder I've used
I've spent hundreds of dollars on foundations and powders for my ever changing face. The older I get my face seems to change texture. I can't wear foundation of any kind with out it wearing off my face in an oil slick causing break outs. Or the colors are never a match. Powders, expensive and generi...

I recently tried this powder and it was the worst one I have purchased yet. The color is way off and almost gives my face a real cake like appearance. I would return but its to much of a hassle. I should have just bought my usual face power that I normally get.
I have been buying it for many years.
It is a very good powder foundation, which I use it over Clinique liquid foundation and have been for many, many years.
