I've never been able to get a Clinique foundation, even though I was intrigued, because of the horrible shade and undertone range. Come on Clinique, get it together. Thank you Charlotte for the lovely review.
Marta - Me too!! I need something neutral/olive & they don’t make that. I did have luck with the Workout foundation tho, I think I got the light/medium
I’m so glad you said what you did about the colours. I got ‘shade matched’ in store and when I brought it home and put it all over my face it was SO yellow! And I’m cool toned 😂 Thank goodness I only got a sample! Great review x
Hi Charlotte, I bought Clinique even better glow in Linen (after you recommended it) and I simply love it.......just glides on!!!! Really don't need another foundation but..........😉😉😉😉😉 xx
Love your reviews! I love that you tell us what other foundations are comparable to it. I don’t need it right now but definitely one to try in the future. 💖
Thank you for this review, Clinique has that issue of breaking apart & setting on lines. Not sure if the camera makes it look too shinny 🤔 Shade looks good from this side tho 😊 you’re a star Charlotte x
I'm really late commenting, but I just came over from stephanie langs channel, and watching some of your videos, which I LOVE! So glad i found you! I love clinique foundations and skin care. Their other makeup is a little pricey, but I always try n get their gift with purchase and have tried other products and they aren't bad at all. But I ONLY use their three step system for cleaning, toning, moisturizing, I love it, have use it for years. And when I had acne I used the acne solutions and it literally changed my life, I swear by it! I havent tried this foundation yet, I like the super balance and beyond perfecting. Gonna need to try this.
I haven't had success with Clinique foundations. They either irritated my skin or never looked right with my skintone. Thanks for a detailed review, I'm always interested to know what's new in foundations.
Ok, I caved and watched😀 Great review and i'm really excited about this foundation. But, the Even Better Glow is my FAV, so i'm wondering what the differences really are🤔🤔 It looked beautiful on you, but you have great skin so most foundations look amazing on you❤
I'm just a bit concerned that this one would settle into my not-so-fine lines. Clinique foundations seem to do this to me. Love your reviews Charlotte, thank you, xxx 🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️ xxx
I love your foundation reviews! I got a sample of this from boots as well and tried it yesterday. So far I’m loving it. The formula is strange-it’s like a sticky gel but does somehow last. After a long day at work yesterday it still looked great. I was expecting it to melt off given the sticky ness. I agree oily skins will hate it but I’m combo , slightly(ahem) ageing and it was just on the right side of glowy on me. Just wish they would sort out their shade range so everyone could enjoy it 😕x
It looks good, might go get a sample! Though last time I got colour matched at my local Clinique counter I HATED the one they put on me, so I'm scared to go back 😂 thanks for the review x
Yeh i know the feeling!!! Ha ha, I always swatch a foundation that I have in a good shade on my hand...then I can compare with that...helps under the confusing store lighting!! Xx
I know! With Beyond perfecting foundation the shade ivory was a good match for me but when I tried the same shade in super balance one I looked way too pink 😵
Hi Charlotte I always used Clinique foundation and loved it, got lot's of compliments then I drifted away from it. I think I will revisit and give this foundation a try. I have to say it looks very nice on you. Thank you. 😘😘
I have this in the shade custard, and I use a lot less of it than you did. The coverage is still good (I guess I don't expect full coverage) and it also dries well on me, no major stickiness. I also love the Even Better Glow, and I don't think they are similar at all! So much for different opinions. :-) x
I have never tried a foundation, I love their skincare so I should just try one. I think I am going to try the glow one you recommend, you haven’t steered me wrong ever so I trust your opinion
I tend to steer clear of Clinique foundations due to the overwhelming preachiness of 5he light shades in general. I may try and find a shade in this one, though.
I bought the clinique even better glow on your recommendation & I love it.....wearing it today 😊. Happy to give this a go....any excuse to pop into boots 😁x
Hey lovely, hope you’re well, I have the even better foundation in my collection and I like that so may try this one in the future, great review! you’re eyeshadow looks beautiful what palette and colours did you use hun? Xx
Weirdly here in hk I’ve got a nice neutral shade in even better glow, it’s labelled fair neutral no61 ivory. The 60s numbers aren’t available in the U.K./US and in the U.K. shades ivory I believe is a cool toned shade.
The original even better foundation did expand their shade range a little while back and they have a light enough shade for me and it’s a perfect match.
The deeper shades are still massively lacking, as are the neutral tones and the fact that every one of their foundations has a different range isn't helpful either!! X
Charlotte Holdcroft you’re so right! I went to buy the concealer and foundation in one (I forget the exact name of it) but I told them the shade I wore in the even better and when I used what they sent me home with was very pink and when it dried down it was darker and even more pink. It was awful. I ended up giving it to a friend. So many brands think that if you’re very fair that you must have pink under tones 🤨
You could dirt on your face and still look absolutely amazing 😉 I have never tried a Clinique foundation to be honest I would love to try one..I’m in a foundation quandary at the moment I have way to many at this time...So If l had to pick another one up maybe a Clinique foundation isn’t out of the question....♥️🇦🇺♥️🇦🇺😉🇦🇺😉🇦🇺
I find their shade range the most frustrating. In even better original I am always matched to ivory which they say is neutral however it is more pink . The best I had was buff but was a shade to light so frustrating. And I am never ivory in other brands x
I like your make up a lot today! I’ll probably skip this one though if it was actually full coverage would’ve been a different story! Maybe I’ll get a sample 🤷♀️
Fabulous review. This sounds/looks really nice. My Mom’s still trying to find a foundation that she likes. Very picky, lol. She hates matte/full coverage formulas, and is a fan of Clinique. How do you think this would wear on more mature (70’s) skin? I saw Pampered Wolf review No7’s Hydraluminous Moisturizing Foundation (I don’t believe it’s available in the US yet), and it looks lovely. Any thoughts on that one? I’m also looking forward to Tarte’s new foundation. Thanks, m’dear🍃🌸.
I dont think I'd recommend it to mature skin because of the sinking into lines. Obviously I only have more fine lines just yet, so my guess is on deeper wrinkles it would be a bigger problem but definitely try a sample x
On your skin all fondations look really good 😊. Can you pls make one day video "battle" - tasting on massmarket pressed powders like Bourjois, L'oreal, Maxfactor......???
Hi lovely, do you mean of the Clinique foundations? This and the glow version have a similar finish, thiamine slightly more coverage and maybe more hydrating x
Thanks for the review lovely. Am looking for a replacement for my Benefit Hello Happy, not a fan, but this one at $60 here not sure... I think I have a “sample spree” coming up 😂What would you recommend ? xB
Charlotte Holdcroft & conveniently we’ve just gotten Laura Mercier where I am & I’ll be going to Sydney in a couple of weeks & can grab Dior (backstage is exclusive to Sephora here apparently) 😊 Thanks for the tips ! xB
I'm not sure where you're based but in the UK its only 34 shades with 1 shade that could even be called 'deep' and poor undertones throughout. Regardless, a high number of shades doesn't make a decent shade range in my opinion x
Hi lovely, no updates from me, as I didn't purchase the full size i only used the sample a few times and nothing different to add that I didn't cover here xx
@@CharlotteHoldcroft 😂 agreed! Well I thought I'd stick it out and I'm enjoying it now thankfully. There's so many twists and turns I think you might like it lol
Ha ha I used to watch every reality show going but once rows start i turn it off, it annoys me too much!! And now i don'r watch many, same thing with soaps! I dont wanna be depressed lol x
Charlotte Holdcroft you’re absolutely right! The best shade match I’ve ever found was in the even better foundation but it’s so tacky and transfers that I can only wear it if I’m going out for a few hours. I use it more to mix with thicker fuller coverage foundations like the Becca ultimate coverage and it works well with that.
