Decided to go ahead and update this review again, as I have grown to love this stuff. It's summer now, so I can tolerate Clinique's darker color selection better. The lightest color is too dark...

The SA recommended cloud for me which is a bit light for my skintone. It has light to medium coverage. However i'm so oily after 2hrs i literally looked like i put baby oil on my face. It also...

This is just an ok foundation, although I hesitate to call it a foundation. Like others have said, coverage is not heavy. It does have a tendancy to accentuate flaky skin & it doesn't control oil...

I initially used the City Base Cream Foundation until I didn't like the feel of too much foundation on my face, so I switched to a pressed powder. It glides on well if my skin isn't flaky, but it...

I tried this powder foundation in Cloud. This color was too light, so I had to try the next darker color (I don't remember the name). Anyways....this shouldn't be called a powder foundation, it...

This is one of the worst powder foundations I have ever tried. I have normal skin, a little oily on my T-zone but this completely blocked my pores and made the rest of my face look flaky. Also, to...

This is a great product. I have fair skin and use the lightest shade, Cloud. I hate foundation because it looks so unnatural on me and I can't ever get the right color. This works great on me. I...

I've never really bought anything Clinique, but I'm so glad I did now! I've been looking for a powder that offers a bit of coverage but won't look too cakey on top of my Studio Tech, and this is...

Dude, what a waste of money! I get very oily around my t-zone and since this was oil-free and it claims that it's for extra oily skin, I thought I'd give it a try and plus there's the bonus of SPF...

I'm not completely sure as to how Clinique can go on touting this as a powder "foundation". I get better coverage with Clinique loose powder than this stuff. It makes my combo skin appear flaky and...

This is a great product. I use Bare Beige, the second lightest shade, and it's a great match. I apply with a big, fluffy, powder brush instead of the sponge it comes with to get a lighter...

I really wanted to like this product b/c of the SPF factor & ease of use, but it looked awful on me. The colour-match was good (fair), but it really enhanced my dry bits, and the little fair hairs...
