I actually have a report question. The first part is how do I know what color of foundation I wear normally I would wear like a Merle Norman I wear a. Mary Kay I wear a beige I've also worn neutrals but I believe I'm a summer so I'm kind of like a medium light color with freckles and light brown hair. Thank you.

I'm super obsessed and so happy this was made
I have already gone through like 3 bottles of this. So maybe the only negative is I wish there was more product in the bottle. But this is the product of my dreams that I have been looking for. I love clinique serum foundation, I've used it for years, but after getting sun damage for the first time ...

Love the Skincare Benefits!
I received this product free of charge in exchange for my unbiased review. I absolutely love that this is a vitamin-rich foundation with SPF 45! I was so excited to try it because it sounded like it would be so nourishing for my skin. I really like that the coverage is buildable and the way it feel...

I've been a Clinique customer for over 20 years. I've always recommended their products, but I'm super disappointed with this one. I literally threw my money away. I had such high expectations for this new product. I thought it would be better than the one I'd used before, but this one just doesn't work.
The best match and texture!!

The way this foundation shade matched me so perfectly is wild. I had been on the hunt for the perfect foundation and I can finally rest. Not only does the shade blend perfectly into my skin but it looks just like my skin but better! Would definitely keep getting.
Nice and smooth on

This did. It work out for me but only because I'm highly allergic to scents.I tried to make it work because I liked the high SPF. One has to remember that fragrance free does not mean scent free
Skincare-Infused Makeup with High Protection!

Clinique's Even Better Clinical™ Vitamin Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 45 redefines foundation by combining flawless coverage with clinical skincare benefits. This liquid formula is infused with vitamin C and brightening agents to visibly improve dark spots and uneven tone over time, while SPF 45 shields against UV damage. Its lightweight texture blends seamlessly, offering buildable medium-to-full coverage without caking or oxidizing. I love how it leaves skin naturally radiant and protected—perfect for daily wear. Ideal for those seeking a multifunctional product that merges makeup, treatment, and sun care into one step!
Not for me
The formula of this product is okay, but it doesn't have enough color for me. I tried the medium deep 3, and it was kind of ashy; the other colors did not match my skin either, too dark or too light. I returned it, as I could not work with it.
