Pros: Smooth and silky going on, color was a perfect match
Cons: More expensive then drugstore makeups
Summary: After using Clinique's 3 step face care program with much success, I decided that slowly I wanted to try some products in their make up line.
Having a not so wonderful experience with their mascara and eye shadows, I still decided to try out ... read more

Pros: goes on easily and stays put
Cons: messy to use
Summary: I admit I have been lazy lately using foundations that you buy from the supermarket. No problem I thought and to be fair they did cover up the blemishes and ravages of less sleep than usual (a new son
!).
But while in town last week I ... read more

Pros: a nice-feeling, light makeup that provides good coverage
Cons: didn't help prevent shine
Summary: "Hurrah! A smart makeup, that will know what to do with my dry-but-yet-shiny-in-places skin." That's what I thought when I found out about Clinique's Superbalanced Makeup that claims to give your skin moisture where it needs it, and to soak up the oil ... read more

Pros: Goes on silky, feels light and looks good without feeling shellacked
Cons: A few minor problems, but nothing major
Summary: Being a recent convert to the Church of Clinique, I decided that I may as well give the makeup a try in addition to the 3-Step skincare items. During my makeup shopping spree, I purchased the Superbalanced Makeup, Stay Matte pressed powder, Natural ... read more

Pros: Lightweight, plenty of colours that don’t turn orange on your skin, good coverage
Cons: Price, glass bottle

As anyone who has read my previous reviews knows, I have recently switched to Clinique and am loving every minute of it. As I’m starting to use and purchase make-up (that I actually use), Clinique has been very helpful with helping me pick ... read more

Pros: goes on light made my skin look better
Cons: didn't have my color on first visit
Summary: A few weekends ago I headed to the Clinique counter hoping to find a perfect foundation. I never had one before that I liked and usually just preferred the natural look opposed to the caked look I always found when using any of the many different ... read more

Pros: smooth, silky finish
Cons: exaggerated claims
Summary: The eternal search for a good foundation is one that has plagued womankind for centuries. I found this foundation to be a good basic, middle of the road foundation with a great range of colors.
It claims that it has little sponges in it that ... read more

Pros: easy application, blends well, even tone
Cons: might be a bit pricey
Summary: I've always been a fan of Clinique, and also really paranoid of cosmetics at the same time. I'm not good with them. I usually end up looking like a prostitute if I so much as attempt to wield an eyeliner pencil. The term "smudging" to me, means ... read more

Pros: Natural
Cons: Not everyone enjoys spending 18 bucks on a 1 FL Oz. of anything
Summary: I’m no good with make-up. And we all know how dolled up those ladies get for their close-ups.
I like to wear it, when I can put it together properly. But I still get confused when I happen to open one of those women’s magazines and I find ... read more

Pros: It's fantastic
Cons: None!
Summary: I've only discovered Clinique in the last six months. Up until now I've never been able to afford anything but the cheapest of makeup. Naturally this has meant that I've settled for less than the best in terms of colour and coverage.
Then I ... read more

Cons: NOT for summer use (makes me SUPER shiny!)

While I have very mixed feelings about this makeup, I would still recommend it to those with VERY combination skin, but NOT those with oily skin! I wrote this review in the winter time, and at the time I loved this makeup. But ... read more

Pros: Smooth, not greasy, has great coverage but doesn't feel heavy.
Cons: Makes my dry skin flakes show up a little more.
Summary: Ever since I can remember wearing makeup, my mother had always insisted that high end, department store makeup is the only acceptable option. She would get me gift certificates for the makeup counters as gifts, and I could choose what suited me best. ... read more
