This is my first MUA review, and I'm writing it because I'm heartbroken. I love, love, LOVE this foundation. The absolute best powder foundation I've ever tried, and for a very reasonable price....

I always loved Clinique products and this is one of my beloved products. It is very light and as it claims you can even apply with eyes shut. I will contine to buy this since it's very easy use for...

This is a great powder fdtn. I prefer EL DW powder fdtn over this one, but this is almost as good. It has great coverage with the sponge, and goes on quite smoothly when I use moisturizer.

Like a few reviewers have said I have repurchased this product. I am neutral fair. This is the first mineral foundation I have been able to find that is a perfect match to my skin tone.

Hmm. I don't like this that much. The color, Neutral Fair, was fine, even though I originally started out with Light. Upon seeing it, I immediately knew that it was too dark, so I exchanged it. One...

Before using Almost Powder by Clinique, I had been using Bare Minerals for about a year. I have ALWAYS had a problem with make-up because my skin color is basically unmatchable to one single shade...

I first tried this product because there was a sample card inside one of my Lucky magazines. It gave me a fresh, matte finish with no sparkle or glimmer anywhere. It didn't budge all day, and...

I love this product! I've been using Clinique for 20 years. This is by far my favorite makeup formulation. My skin looks airbrushed.

This powder is just ok. I think in the beginning it might have caused a minor breakout on my chin and forehead but that just might be from school stress. This tends to cake if a little too much was...

Let me start by saying at first I thought this product was horrible. The colour seemed too light for my skin in natural light (though perfect in the store) and looked like a mask. I recently...

This powder is definitely better than traditional powders but, for a product that advertises as a mineral makeup, it's first ingredient is talc. Yes, talc is technically a mineral, but it is not...

I used to like this and originally gave it a favorable review. However, Clinique has changed the formula and there is no longer any SPF in this product which is a deal breaker:(
