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.
