    I wanted to love this product, but I couldn't. Clinique usually has great foundations, so I was surprised how much I hated this one. It's always so hard to match my skin tone-- I'm extremely fair...

    Great powder foundation! I was looking for a new pressed powder for touch-ups and my sister recommended this one. Indeed, it was as she said: it gives you a flawless complexion without being...

    SO glad Clinique finally made a powder foundation for those with combo/oily skin, with natural coverage, that doesn't cause breakouts! Clinique's "Superpowder", while probably okay for drier skins...

    This makeup is way too dark for a PPP. If you are any lighter that a NC15, forget it. It's too bad because the powder has a nice, soft matte finish and does stay on pretty well. Clinique, are...

    Decided to give this a try, as I'm a sucker for convenience. Actually, I got a miny makeover and this product was used as a base. I liked the way it felt, and I guess the MA's use of bonzer was...

    I've been using this for about 2 weeks. I first tried this in 118 (I'm NC30) and it oxidized immediately and also didn't look right going on, like I had tanned...too much. I knew as soon as I...

    Wow, I didn't think Clinique would have good colours for South Asians but I was wrong. My skin is medium brown with yellow/golden tones. I had been using Vasanti's Face Base in V4, but this is a...

    So, I waited a really long time to review this. Almost three weeks. I've been using this every day since I got it. I was matched as 110P by the SA. In the beginning, it looked odd to me because...

    Tried this in two shades 104G and 106N. I am on the pink side of pale. The 104G seemed to be a better shade. Go figure! I found that it emphasized dry spots and undereye lines. I liked the...

    Ugh - this just isn't working for me. I put it on after my PTR primer and it was so difficult to blend. It ended up looking cakey and orangey. Someone even asked if I had been tanning! Back to...
