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...

A new-old favorite

I used to wear the balanced makeup, going back to the 80s. Over the years, I tried some other Clinique and other brand foundations. Everything I tried settled into my pores or looked cakey. I tried the super balanced foundation on a whim and I'm so glad! It does not sink into pores or lines and it looks great at 7 pm after putting it on at 6 am. I wear it over the city block spf 25, so maybe it is the combination of those two products together. What is really amazing is no shine. For reference, I am truly a combination skin person. My t-zone can get very oily and my cheeks feel normal. I'm 58 and have some minimal fine lines (thank you Clinique since 1986).
Not near as good as Stay Matte

Very disappointed you don't make the Stay Matte foundation anymore. I've been using it for 30+ years. I don't like this product near as well as the Stay Matte. Not sure what else to try.
Not what I really want

I'm very disappointed in this foundation as well as all the other foundations now offered through Clinique. This has poor coverage and is not a matte finish like they said it was. It was recommended to me after they discontinued my stay matte foundation which I used for 30+ years. Every foundation that has been recommended to me has not been what stay matte was to me. Come on Clinique and bring back my favorite.
Made my skin drier

I purchased this product from Ulta, intrigued by its claim to add moisture where it was needed and to control oil where it is prevalent. I did not see this effect using the product. I have used this product for about a week, and my skin is drier, and my skin quality seems to be regressing. I normally use the Acne Solutions Liquid Makeup; just thought I'd try something new that sounded like a good product. I would love to trade this product out for the Acne Solution, but sadly, I'm sure that is not an option.
Great Foundation!

I have been using this foundation for years and I love it! It has a very natural finish and does not feel heavy. I tried the Even Better foundation but it felt very heavy and I hated the tube that it comes in. Super Balanced just feels lighter and looks very natural. I also like that it is in little jar not a tube. I can see how much I have left and it is easier to get the product out of the jar.
