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...

Love this foundation!
I chose this foundation because my other go to foundations were suddenly burning my eyes. This has been great, my eyes aren't tearing anymore. I wish this had a pump, it would make it easier to get on my brush.
Super Natural - What happened?!

The formula has changed. I loved this foundation before - it was sheer-ish, non greasy, not heavy, just my skin but better. But now? It's horrible, thicker, greasy, mask-like. Why was it changed? I'd read other reviews about the difference in the newer inventory but was hoping they were mistaken, but no - - I will return and will look elsewhere for my new foundation. Very disappointed
Great customer service makes for return customers!
Customer service representative was wonderful! She is the reason I purchased this item.
Love this foundation
Its my favorite be using it for a long time
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!
