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.

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...

My go-to foundation for a flawless base!!
This is my favorite foundation!! It's lasted me through many long days, even 100+ degree F baseball games as a face sweater lol. At first I thought it was cakey or looked dry like others said, but once you find your ideal skin prep, it looks amazing I swear. For reference, I do moisturizer and hyaluronic acid serum as prep and it makes this foundation look STUNNING. But also, because it can be drying, this is definitely for combo-oily/oily skin girlies. Also also, as someone with eczema and sensitive skin, this foundation has never broken me out or caused any irritation whatsoever.
Not for acne prone skin/ all day wear
This is not for acne prone skin, I normally use the acne solution foundation from this brand and decided to give this a try and horrible !! My acne is very little to moderate, not crazy acne . So I couldn't figure out for months why I was breaking out and having little white heads bumps. This foundation is too oily/ heavy due to the spf which clogged my pores and made me break out so it doesn't do great for all day wear. The other foundation never did that to my skin and I wore it for years including on vacations out in the sun and no breakouts . If you have sensitive skin and easily clogged pores . Stay away !
I would buy this again!
I really love this foundation But I want to also order the foundation in same color. Not serum. More coverage.
I love it
I love the coverage I get
Not for middle aged combo skin
I loved everything about this foundation at first. The color match was perfect and the coverage was more than I'm used to, but was flawless. There were several factors that led to returning it, however. First, the product settled into and exaggerated my fine lines and wrinkles to the point I felt I looked 65 instead of 45. I tried it with both my foundation brush as well as with a beauty blender (slightly better). No luck. I always use eye cream AM and PM, but if I put it under or around my eyes, they were already dry and crepey before I even finished with my powder. Also, despite primer, finishing powder and setting spray, by the end of the day the foundation was not only extremely patchy, but settled into all of my pores and gave my t-zone polka dots. My initial impressions were great, but the product just didn't hold up in the long run.
