For best results, apply foundation after moisturizer. Start with just a half-pump; this formula is so concentrated, a little goes a long way. Clinique recommends a buff brush for the most flawless finish, but use your preferred technique. Apply a small amount of foundation where you need coverage the most and blend from there. You can then add more foundation for additional coverage.

- Q
How long is this foundation good after opening?
- Asked by LauraSL
- Official Answer By Clinique USThank you for your question! Some products include a Period After Opening number (which shows a number followed by “M”) that indicates the number of months within which an opened product should be used or replaced. Once a product is opened and used, its integrity can be affected by such things as exposure to environmental conditions or from contact with the user’s skin. If a product is not fully used following that time frame, we suggest replacing it in order to assure product integrity. Unopened products should be good for at least 3 years provided they are not exposed to extreme heat or cold.Was this answer helpful to you

Nice find
I was looking for a new foundation and I have sensitive skin which is acne prone and being in my early 50's it's a pain. I have warm/neutral undertones to my light/medium skin. I do find Clinique to be a bit warm in their shades for light/medium warm undertones. At first I was shade matched with CN...

Save the money and buy the even better instead
I used the Even Better foundation before I tried the Even Better Clinical foundation. I thought I would try this product due to boasting about additional benefits to your skin and while I like to hide my imperfections, I would also like my skin to look better without make-up since I'm not an everyda...

Good, but...
The product looked good initially. I wanted something to hold up while outdoors in summer heat. I sweated it off quickly, and somehow looked very pale. I'm recommending because it's good- just not for what I wanted.
Best makeup out there!!!
I have never had such a great experience with makeup as I do this! It's full coverage but feels light and non sticky to the touch! It's my new go to!
Rethinking this product
I have been using this product for years. The coverage is good but it feels sticky and greasy on my skin. I might search for another foundation.
I wanted to love it...
I have used Clinique foundations in the past that have worked well with my skin, but this one was terrible. It started to dry the moment it touched my skin which made it very difficult to blend. Within an hour it had separated and settled into my pores. I tried using a primer first, but that did nothing to help the settling or separation. It looked terrible. I definitely would not recommend this foundation.
WOW!! 🩷
I got this foundation on a whim, i havent worn clinique foundation in more than a decade. And I am soooo happy I tried this. Its similar to the YSL all hours but i actually like this more. It lasts all day, and doesnt settle into lines or cling to dry spots. 10/10 recommend!!
