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?

Too dark
I used the shade finder and it recommended Ivory. When I got it, it's really dark to be considered any ivory shade.

I've been using this foundation for 18 years (I'm now 32) and I still absolutely love it. Sometimes I try others, just to see what's out there, but I always come back to this. It's really magical--it makes my skin tone more even and prevents breakouts. My face tends to be pretty red but if I just rub some of this in, almost like a lotion, every morning, it improves my skin quality while providing just enough coverage to make the redness not noticeable. Please, Clinique, please never discontinue this product!!!!!
I want to buy again super balanced
I love super balanced makeup I can't find it anywhere I used 34 nude beige and cn 43 nude beige combined together in one bottle with these two tones
Worth the price
I received this foundation for free for being a Diamond member however I have repurchased this foundation. It applies beautifully, its not oily nor dry. It last all day, and my base always looks flawless. I recommend to shade match in store. Online can be decieving.
Used to love
What happened?! This was my go to foundation for years. I'm a pale girl with cool undertones. So many brands pull warm undertones or oxidize. Ive never had this happen with clinique before. Ive always been the alabaster shade. Its so different now.
