Does Clinique test on animals?!
- Asked by StaceFace

I have to mix cream whip and neutral in the stay matte foundation and now sadly you all have discontinued it! Why? What color would I wear in the super balance or what would be comparable to stay matte
- Asked by KS
- Official Answer By Clinique USThanks for reaching out. We understand it is very frustrating when a favourite is discontinued. For an alternative, we recommend Even Better Clinical Serum Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 25. 24-hour, oil-free foundation with SPF delivers full coverage and a matte finish. This foundation is very concentrated. Meaning, a little goes a long way. We recommend one or two pumps and buff outward. Because you were mixing Cream Whip and Neutral together, we recommend trying CN 40 Cream Chamois which is right in between shades! Our Beauty Associates will be on hand to offer personalized application advice and techniques tailored to your makeup preferences.Was this answer helpful to you

Superwonderful Makeup
I've found Superbalanced Makeup to be a truly wonderful product. The coverage is light, yet effective. It never collects in my skin creases, and keeps me looking fresh and lovely all day long. As a 53 year old professional, I don't have time to wonder if my makeup needs to be touched up before an af...

Something change with the formula of this product?
I have been using Superbalanced Makeup from Clinique since I have been in my 30's and loved it. For some reason now, the formula seems to be thicker and looks "mask- like". I asked the Clinique specialist at the store if she knew of it changing and she was not aware. When at Ulta the other day, anot...

I like that it doesn't dry and irritate my eczema-prone skin and accentuate my dry patches. I first ordered the shade CN 42 Neutral but it turned out to be too tan, too orangey, so I returned it. For reference, I am an Asian with light neutral (olive more accurately) skin tone. When I got this Alabaster shade as a replacement, I was worried that it would look too pale. But no, it matched me perfectly. Plus, it left a natural look like I only had a light touch-up, which I prefer more than a full-on coverage. I have to say that this was my first online purchase of foundation ever and on Clinique.com. I was skeptical about finding the right shade match. But the chat associate made the exchange easy and got my right shade shipped and refund promptly. I enjoyed my shopping experience here. Thank you! A bit of a letdown is that I had to follow up with Clinique for the free gifts with my qualified purchase. I hope it was a rare mistake and not habitual.
Yes
Clinque is great foundation. Very happy with it. I have been using it over a year. My only negative is when you have a coupon I should be able to us it on all products you sell. Not just the less expensive one. I feel am being punished for buying the more expensive makeup.
Nice, but hate the bottle
I was looking for a light coverage without sunscreen to put over my tinted moisturizer for a bit more coverage. This does the trick, however I hate that it's in a glass bottle rather than a tube or something easier to get out. It's wasteful.
Perfect foundation

I pat this foundation onto my mid-face and chin to conceal redness. It is buildable and covers well, leaving a lovely, natural look. Because it is not a thick foundation formula and does not contain sunscreen, it does not cause skin irritation. I can lightly pat a mineral sunscreen over the foundation and set it with powder. In my much younger years, I used Clinique Balanced Makeup Base and the Perfectly Real Foundation, both of which have been discontinued. This is a good substitute for them.
