CLINIQUE - NEW Even Better Clinical Serum SPF 25 Foundation Wear Test

[@align.mental]

Clinique as a brand does not get the love it deserves. Even before the whole war on fragrance in skincare, Clinique has always been fragrance-free in the skincare and makeup. People say it is an “old fashioned” brand yet they were ahead of the curve there.

[@JoyceBelfort]

🤭 "Fashionable" is overrated in my opinion. What people see on social media is probably not what people actually buy?

[@NiinaSKlove]

I’d say: “Old but gold.” I love Clinique❣️ Used it since my teenage years, and still using it. I love how their products are fragrance free, since my skin (in my face) doesn’t particularly love fragranced products. Also I quite enjoy using their mascaras. Especially when I am going for an everyday natural, yet defined look. Thumbs up for this brand!

[@momobea2378]

Clinique silk balanced foundation is the only foundation that has ever made my skin feel so much better with it on. I bought an extra bottle long before I began running out because I love it so much.

[@emmajp_9385]

I think they should be more honest as a brand. They say they’re cruelty free but sell in China.

[@katrineogmai]

It test on animals which is so dissapointing

[@six23ist]

Clinique foundations are so underrated. This looks amazing on you!

[@FlowerPower-cf2fp]

Never tried their foundations bc my skin has never really liked their moisturizers. I guess I associate the two. Their liquid liner is the only liner that does not irritate my eyes in any way. I love their lipsticks though I can no longer find my favorite tender heart. I enjoy their blushes, powder and perhaps my favorite product is their eye brightening pen, like their version of the ysl pen. Feel Clinique is constantly underrated.

[@Annikichan]

@@FlowerPower-cf2fp Oh, their moisturisers do not agree with my skin at all, but their foundations are my favourite! Just a bit concerned that this one has salicylic acid... Their eyeliners and some of their mascaras are also the only ones that do not irritate my super sensitive eyes.

[@dobcsek]

Clinique products generally are underrated. I think their lipsticks, their mascaras and their cheek pops are great. They had a limited edition mascara in Black Honey - that’s hands down the best mascara I’ve ever used.

[@FlowerPower-cf2fp]

@@dobcsek oh wow black honey mascara. I wonder what was the angle there that's like CT coming out with Pillow talk...wait a minute. Oh now I recall their mascara for lower lashes is great.

[@katieoconnell6345]

Your review inspired me to buy this product....AND I LOVE IT!! You're completely right, for a full coverage foundation it looks so nice on the skin and doesn't look cakey or heavy whatsoever. Looks very natural for the amount of coverage it has. So pleased with this foundation, definitely a new favorite.

[@ericabassi7728]

Even though the shade is too deep, that foundation looks beautiful. Can you show us it again when you get the correct shade please?

[@earthyglow]

I’m pushing 70 and this foundation is my favorite. Excellent coverage and doesn’t settle into lines.

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

I was thinking about this one and now I'm SOLD!

[@TheMicheleWang]

Hey Samantha!!! xoxoxo

[@mariejoseepitre409]

I worked for Clinique years ago and always find that they needed to revisit the shade range of their complexion products, the products are good but it is hard to find a shade and for many of them the undertone is very different than any other foundation and concealer

[@debbiebubblescunico8042]

Omg can’t get over how airbrushed your skin looks with this foundation!!! Going into my cart!!! 😂❤️

[@moniquemcgriskin652]

I slapped a tiny bit of this from a sample on my face one day with my fingers and I couldn't believe the results. This is the foundation I have been looking for all my life. You need hardly any of it, it's so easy to apply and it makes your skin look perfect and no one can tell you're even wearing makeup.

[@mrswang5574]

I can’t wait to see this video again with a lighter shade. Sooo pretty.

[@christylynn543]

Was hoping this color was a match for you since I think I’d be the same. I started using the even better again and was curious if the serum would’ve been the better choice for my dry skin. Now I’m trying to figure out which color would work. Haven’t had the best of luck w the ladies at the counter.

[@beckyc.5743]

I am so surprised with the results of this foundation. Judging by the description I would have run when I saw the ingredients. If I can find my correct shade this would be nice to have when I want a heavier coverage. I don’t relish spending an arm and a leg for something that I wouldn’t wear that often and Clinique foundations are usually reasonably priced. Thanks Michele.

[@cyntheknitter9927]

So glad you tried it in CN 52 as I was considering the shade, but now will try a lighter shade

[@jamiefaith834]

So glad I found your channel. I just bought this today, an Ulta associate recommended and so glad she did. Can't wait to wear tomorrow!

[@trinaa0509]

I’m definitely intrigued by this new foundation, thanks for doing this review cause I value your input so much! 😊

[@Xenia-wd6il]

I received a sample of it in CN52 and was amazed how it evens out the skin and how flawless it looks! My brown spots were covered! The only issue to find the correct shade. CN52 is definitely too deep for me, too

[@dark-df9hq]

I got this exact shade and it is pretty dark for me too!

[@ltrujillo5476]

I just bought the concealer and foundation and tried it out. It exaggerates bumps and texture and pores. I'm not so sure I can wear this. It also reminds me of the wet n wild photo focus foundation to the T and even smells like it for some reason. My skin is congested though, fine lines and wrinkles also 😃 I've worn the even better in my 20s and it worked great but then again my skin was younger!

[@ALLABOUTTHESKINLOVE]

as a cinique consultant i would recommend cn40 xx

[@milacn]

Cn40 would be equivalent to what colour range in MAC? I'm a NC 20 in MAC and really considering to buy this one from Clinique

[@amimay574]

I love the even better make-up. Scrap that, I like all the Clinique makeup I’ve tried. Clinique is such an under-rated brand; It makes up most of my ‘everyday’ makeup kit. The lipsticks that they match to your foundation shade are in credible-such beautiful shades! I’ll have to give this one a try!

[@michalamuggiernst464]

I find all neutral, run warm. I mix with a light pink undertone, with all my foundations. Really nice that this foundation not oxidize. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻. Finally.

[@nellyGiants]

I got the same shade as a sample, and I AGREE! And I'm combo leaning oily. This is crazy, as I've never had any luck with serum foundations. I think this is probably the best foundation I've seen on you, maybe ever?? I liked this better than the other good foundations you've tried. You look so young and youthful!

[@isabelcalles9909]

I love this foundation and I use the tinted SPF almost everyday in the summer days. I'm glad you reviewed this foundation. And definitely easy on my budget. Your skin is amazing. Ty

[@FrugieBlog]

Damn Michele! I had this in my cart, wasn't going to get it. And now I really want to get it. I was sort of hoping you would have a terrible experience with it. 😂 I just received the new Shiseido foundation so I'll give that a go first before I do this. Honestly, that shade looks great on camera. 😍

[@PashalinaMakia]

You know what? i love your channel, it's always a good reason to find answers. I don't have oily skin but i have cystic acne and i need hydration and balance. with salicylic acid I'm sure I'll have what i need. thanks for the review. ❤

[@loridobos7174]

Thank you for the thorough review, I returned to Clinique after an increase in skin sensitivity and forgot how much I really enjoy their products. That shade may work out well for you during the spring and summer months.

I just got this makeup and I ordered it online so I was worried about the shade I picked. I received the tube formula of the E.L. Even Better in the shade Breeze. I tested it and I'm very pleased with my choice. The shade is perfect for me. It is a VF very fair shade with a touch of pink, which is ideal for my skintone. I enjoyed your review very much and I will continue to watch them. Thank you for sharing! 💞

[@kam0406]

Wow! For a foundation to look THIS fantastic when the shade is so far off is really amazing. Usually, if the shade is off, it makes the foundation look terrible. I told myself this foundation would be a no go for me as my skin is very dry and salicylic acid would most likely not do it any favors, but I am taking a second look at this one!

[@madamemadagascar5398]

This foundation makes you look so naturally beautiful! It'll be great for no makeup make up look that i'm looking for. I like weightless feeling when applying foundation on skin. This is so nice! I must get one. Thank you for your review.

[@leahcg123]

Your skin looks flawless! I actually think the shade looks fantastic on you, maybe one for you when you've got a tan in the summer. You've convinced me to buy it ❤

[@JP-ni6vc]

It looks so nice on you. I wear the regular Clinique Even Better foundation in CN 20 fair and I am fairer than you. Maybe CN 28 is your shade? I was waiting for a review of this... so thank you. I think I'll pick some up.

[@lucindas723]

I tend to gravitate towards longer wear foundations like this because they rarely actually wear that long but I do need my foundation to wear about 15-16hrs working 12 hr shifts and allowing for travel time e.t.c that's about how long I have makeup in my face. Most foundations tend to start to look a bit worse for wear a good few hours before they claim on my skin which is normal leaning dry but I wear glasses and have a tendency to touch my face especially when I'm getting tired. I also mix most foundations with the Missha BB cream to get the undertone right being extremely neutral toned which reduces the wear time a bit I imagine 🤷‍♀️
