Clinique Even Better Makeup SPF15 Foundation

First impression is good. The coverage is light to medium, it doesn't hide much, but it evens out the skin tone perfectly and adjusts well. The shade CN 10 Alabaster is slightly warm.

This is already the second purchase of this cream. Previously, I bought the shade Flax, which darkened and yellowed my face a bit (maybe it's better to use it after a light tan or after summer), but my face is still lighter, so I chose Custard this time and the shade suits me. I haven't been using this foundation for a long time, only a few times, but I have already noticed some pros and cons. I have combination skin, 29 years old, and when it is too dry on my cheeks and forehead, the cream doesn't apply well and after a couple of minutes it emphasizes dry patches. I always use a primer. The situation is somewhat saved by the Smashbox Vitamin Glow primer, but it still doesn't eliminate some dry patches, and on problem areas it emphasizes flakiness if you look closely. For example, with the Nyx Bare With Me gel primer, the cream applies even worse. In terms of density, this foundation is decent. When the skin is in better condition, it applies very well. Pimples and scars can be covered with a couple of "layers" using a sponge and preferably powder. There are no particular issues with this cream in the T-zone, except that it may start to shine slightly if not powdered (but for me, this is much better than dry patches). However, I am not satisfied with it in the areas where I have dry skin. Therefore, the rating is average.

It's a great product. The texture is light and it nicely evens out the skin tone, without giving the "mask" effect. It doesn't cover blemishes (although you can always apply a few layers to problem areas). I got the Flax shade.

I really liked the foundation, it applies smoothly on the face and is not noticeable (the main thing is to moisturize the skin before applying). The condition of my skin improved after 2 weeks of use. I recommend it.

I always use only expensive cosmetics and carefully choose products based on reviews. I have combination skin, so it is very difficult to find something worthy that does not dry out or make my skin oily. The foundation has a good texture, not too liquid or thick, and does not feel like a "mask" on the face. It covers pigmentation spots. But there is a huge BUT, personally I bought this foundation to hide imperfections (small pimples, occasional dryness, dark circles under the eyes) and was very disappointed with the effect. The foundation emphasizes expression lines, clogs pores (although it is not noticeable on clean skin), it also rolls off and feels very unpleasant on the face throughout the day. I will let my mom try it, maybe it will work better on aging skin. I do not recommend it for young combination skin.

Did not like it, it is visible on the face like a mask, it emphasizes the texture of the skin and settles into wrinkles.

This is the first time I've tried such an expensive foundation. The first application didn't impress me, it doesn't even out the skin tone, it settles into imperfections and highlights them, it makes any tiny flake noticeable. It's visible on the face. I don't understand the hype... it didn't work for me.

I liked it! It's the first time I've bought such an expensive foundation and I'm not disappointed! I got the shade Flax for fair skin and it's just perfect, it has a neutral undertone, doesn't make me look yellow or pink. It blends well with my skin tone and doesn't leave any visible lines. The finish is not matte or shiny, it's something in between, and it doesn't provide full coverage but it does cover small imperfections.

Just great for toning pigment spots, freckles. The Custard shade is a perfect match for fair skin without a pink undertone. When combined with pink (or coral) blush, it gives a fresh, youthful look. It doesn't clog pores. It's light, just need to take a couple of drops for the whole face.

Great foundation. I have combination skin, it applies perfectly, doesn't clog pores, and doesn't emphasize dry patches. I got the shade Alabaster, which turned out to be slightly darker than my skin, but the difference is not very noticeable. Currently, it's one of my favorite tones.

Chic shade!!!! Shade 05. Very natural and hardly noticeable! Simply superb!

The foundation is of very mediocre quality. It is absolutely not worth the money. It is very visible on the face no matter how it is applied, even with a damp sponge. I have to mix it with a more user-friendly texture like Bourjois Healthy Mix.

Suitable for oily and combination skin types, it emphasizes flakiness on dry skin. The lasting power is good. As for the color, it's still better to test it in the store, as you might make a mistake. It doesn't oxidize on my skin. I got shade 01. It conceals and dries out redness and small breakouts.

The best foundation I have ever used, it lasts all day without sliding off, applies well and hides imperfections, suitable for everyday use, and my skin looks better with it.

The foundation settles into pores and is difficult to blend, whether with fingers or a blender. It quickly becomes shiny and tends to slide off the nose. The only thing that pleased me was the shade 0.75 Custard, which is truly very light and without any yellow or pink undertones.

Took the shade according to the swatches because my tested one was not available. And it turned out even better. Overall, one of the shades with adequate swatches from the manufacturer.
It doesn't really adjust, so choose the shade carefully and don't jump to a different undertone. If you hit the right one - it's perfect and unnoticeable, impossible to see on the skin. The coverage is light, can be built up to medium. But with the Mac 24-hour concealer, it's perfect. The finish is natural, doesn't emphasize dry patches, evens out the color well. Doesn't transfer much. It works great for combination skin, feels weightless and comfortable. If you think Halsey Mix and Luminous are the same - they're not. Maybelline is also heavier, you can feel and see it.

I have fair skin with freckles, and the alabaster shade matched perfectly! I don't know how it mattifies, but after application, my skin shines like a pancake. Definitely need to use powder. Or maybe it's some kind of fake for this price (with a discount of 600 UAH).

Received a sample of the cream as a gift, and it happened to be the perfect shade for me.
I have combination skin with occasional breakouts, which leave marks and dryness. I like how it conceals all these imperfections, but if you have serious skin issues, it won't work miracles – you should visit a dermatologist for that.
The foundation absorbs perfectly and doesn't leave a mask-like appearance on the face. It blends seamlessly with the skin.
It won't suit oily skin types, as it will make you look shiny.

I will correct my comment after using product No. 01 for about a week. The shade overall suits light skin and adjusts to look noble. However, while initially it seemed like it didn't dry out, I clarify that it does dry out. I have very dry skin and I always moisturize my skin with cream before applying it, but still, for my skin, I repeat, which is very dry and without visible pores, it dries out. Everything is very individual. In terms of consistency, it is somewhat liquid, it covers everything well, but I don't have much to hide, I have a few freckles and my goal was simply to have an even tone.

No. 01. I have dry and fair skin, it applies very well on the skin, it is very suitable for girls with dry skin because it does not dry out at all, I do not have any flakiness, I cleanse my skin with a scrub, the only thing is that the shade is a bit dark for me, the skin around the hair, ears, and neck is different, but this is very individual because I have very fair skin. Thank you for the makeup.

Simply awesome!!!

By the way, girls with Indian skin type - this cream perfectly conceals dark circles around the eyes - of course, first find your shade - it conceals very naturally, lasts for exactly 12 hours, well, maybe you need to touch it up once in the evening. Moreover, it conceals not like a cover-up, as usual, but actually changes the shade under the eyes, making it healthier and more delicate.

Thank you for the prompt delivery and the cute courier.
Regarding the cream, ladies, I read the comments and it is obvious that it doesn't suit everyone. But that doesn't make it a 'mediocre product' or a 'bad cream'. The cream is definitely worth its money. It looks very natural, expensive, adapts perfectly to skin problems, moisturizes, and conceals imperfections excellently. It doesn't feel heavy on the skin, even if I apply it with a denser layer. It has a lightweight texture and you only need a little bit for daily makeup - it lasts for a very long time. It works great for my dry skin (and shiny T-zone).
And of course, you should definitely test the shades.
Girls, who smeared all the things there? Well, I don't know, be more careful. In my case, it doesn't transfer throughout the day, let's say, on a scarf or wherever. I've been using this cream for over two years, used to buy it in stores. I tested the one purchased from the makeup store - everything is good.

I really like it, my skin is combination type, it conceals all the imperfections, adapts to the skin tone... soft, airy texture, I am satisfied with it and recommend it to everyone...

Excellent cream for dry non-problematic skin. Not suitable for oily skin.

Good foundation. Not very liquid, but the coverage is light. You can apply a second layer for a denser coverage. I have fair skin, but not pale. I have the shade 03 Ivory. The foundation feels lightweight on the skin. It doesn't mattify, but gives a glow to my normal, dry-prone skin.

Bought it again! )

Total disappointment!!! The face cream shines like it's covered in grease, poorly conceals imperfections on the face. Besides, I smudged multiple items, I've never experienced this with inexpensive foundation creams. It's a shame, money wasted for nothing.

Super! I have combination skin, it applies perfectly.

I really liked the cream! I'm currently enjoying using it. The coverage is truly natural and the skin looks fresh. I got the shade 01 for autumn-winter, it fits perfectly and doesn't make the skin look yellow. I'm very satisfied!!!! I recommend it.

I bought myself CLINIQUE EVEN BETTER MAKEUP SPF15 tone 05 - neutral (and I am a brunette with a golden undertone). It suits me perfectly. I apply it with my fingers, blending it carefully (I have been applying all foundations this way for many years). It gives a thin coverage, so the concealing ability is moderate - it simply evens out the tone and hides minor pigmentation spots (mine are not dark). Whether they will become lighter, I don't know yet - it's hard to tell in just one week, although it seems to me that they have already become lighter on my cheeks)))

I liked this foundation, this is my first one from luxury cosmetics and it didn't disappoint me! It makes skin even, glowing, but if you give it a matte effect stays almost all day!!! But it's better to buy a tester before you buy a full size vial!!!! =)
