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...

Smart Foundation That Adapts to Your Skin's Needs
Verified Reviewer
Reviewed at
It's a great choice for combination skin. It provides medium coverage that looks natural and blends seamlessly. What I love most is how it hydrates dry areas while controlling shine in oily zones. The texture is smooth and lightweight, making it comfortable for all-day wear. It doesn't settle into fine lines or pores, which gives a flawless finish. The staying power is impressive — no need for frequent touch-ups. Overall, it's a well-balanced foundation that truly lives up to its name.
Unexpected Love
I received a free bottle of this as a gift with my order last year. After a couple wears, I went on and bought another bottle. It wasnt until my 3rd bottle that I read all the claims. The claims are spot on! I kept telling people about this foundation. Because when it survives a summer in Florida without any issues, you tell everyone you know. I would tell people that I feel like I rarely get oily, but its also not drying. (I have normal to combo skin depending on the time of year). I could never truly describe what type of foundation this was until I came and read the claims. The ONLY con is the bottle itself and lack of a pump. I dont use this like a moisturizer and use my hands (weirds me out). So when pouring product on the back of my hand, its hard to control how much comes out. Other than that- I LOVE this foundation. Please dont ever discontinue!
Light, even coverage
I wanted a foundation that provides good coverage without being heavy or looking like I am wearing a lot of product. Clinique Superbalanced is exactly that! It provides light, natural looking coverage. Easy to sheer out or build.

GREAT PRODUCT
Does not stay on
Poor coverage, poor bottle, my face gets oily and causes breakouts. Do not recommend.
