- Q
Does Even Better Clinical foundation cause flashback with the SPF in it?
- Asked by Ray
- Official Answer By Clinique USWe appreciate your question. Due to the higher SPF in Clinique Even Better Clinical Vitamin Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 45 Foundation, we do not make that claim. We always recommend trying the formula out if that is a concern. We encourage you to visit our store and try out this formula personally. A Beauty Associate will be available to offer application advice and techniques customized to your makeup preferences.Was this answer helpful to you

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.

- Q
I always loved even better glow! Not sure why discontinue a product so good. So my question is what shade is best for me I wear cn52 in the even better glow in the winter month and cn70 in even better glow in the summer that is no longer available. I tried the cn70 in even better clinical and that is one of the worse products so disappointed. Im going to try this what color would I be?
- Asked by Christa
- Official Answer By Clinique USIn Clinique Even Better Clinical Vitamin Makeup SPF 45, go with Light Medium Cool 4 which corresponds with CN 52 Neutral. For summer and a shade matching CN 70 Vanilla, we think you'll love Light Medium Cool 5.

The very thing I was looking for!
I know folks often say they don't write reviews; I would count myself one of those people. But every once in a while a product comes along that overcomes my inherent laziness and I *have* to write something up. This is once such product. First, I'll say I was a long-ish time user of the Even Better...

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...

Not for me
Loved the color and the moisturizing coverage, but the SPF 45 broke me out. I'm disappointed.
beautiful tint
im relatively young compared to most clinique customers (early 20s) so if you have more mature skin my review wont help you, but i really do love this product. it gives an amazing glow and gives me that no-makeup makeup look while also covering my acne scars that ive been looking for for a very long time. it holds up very well when i go on my runs and sweat lots, and when im out in the southern humidity. ive been wearing it to work out outside and have been impressed with how effective the spf protects my skin. it plays with my other makeup products very well.
Very Disappointed

I purchased this makeup with high expectations but was very disappointed! I found it to be so bad that I threw it in the trash after one use. What a total waste of my money.
I wanted to love it

I've been wearing Clinique for over 20 years. I had been using Ilia serum foundation because I wanted something that was sheer but just smoothed texture and didn't feel like I was wearing make up. I was so excited for Clinique to offer this sheer vitamin make up. I don't know what's up with the formula but when I put it on over my spf or vitamin c, I get tiny white balls all over my face that I have to wipe off with a brush. So I tried it bare faced, and then I looks dry and settles in my pores- each one stands out white. No idea why this formula doesn't work for me but sad to have to switch to something else.
No substitute for previous product as promised
Promised it was a good replacement for discontinued Even Better Hydrating and Repair. It was a terrible replacement. Absolutely no coverage for freckles, discoloration or age spots. I have to use twice as much. And twice as much powder to counter the stickiness. Clinique has made a teemendous mistake discontinuing the Even Better Hydrating/Repairing. I will be looking elsewhere!
