What else you need to know:
For combination skin types. Non-acnegenic. Streak-proof and sweat-proof.

I was a complete no no foundation person before i bought this .. reasons ?? all the foundations i tried were making me look yellow or pale , no freshness , heavy on skin and eekkssss i have had really bad experience with them … from Loral True Match to Revlon colorstay to Maybelline 24 hr and Covergirl and MAC too …

but when i tried this in store 2 – 3 times i was giving second thoughts ??? so finally i bought this keeping my confusions and thoughts at bay and now i am completely taken over by this .. love this so much and wonder i should have tried this much earlier …

i personally don’t like heavy coverage  , i want my face to look natural and not made up , and as i stay in Mumbai i have to be very particular about the base makeup as i have combination skin and the humidity in Mumbai is killing my makeup … but when i tried for the first time and wore it till late in the evening without AC .. it stayed pretty well , and it happened 1 – 2 times later too , so i finally bought it and i am complete happy person now

i apply my concealer , mix this foundation with my Clinique DDMG and apply with fingers and it gets absorbed very fast leaving behind a clean and glowing skin , love the even face it provides me , when in hurry i infact don’t use my concealer this is just perfect for my face

it comes in a cute small packaging and has a ring locking system , however i feel they should have provided a pump system with this , it would be more hygienic then , but anyways i use it with Q-Tip and it works well , i don’t know much about ingredients , but you can see the pic below if it help

 

and here is me :)  

before

and here is me with foundation and no concealer :)

it doesn’t give much coverage but i love it this way .. gives me nice and even fresh looking face , i could feel my skin is healthy and glowing … there are tricks to give you full coverage but i am least bothered about that as i find this suits me perfect and i am very happy with what i look without doing any injustice to my skin

i am quite happy with Clinique’s skincare range and this has also proven itself , i have no breakouts , my skin doesn’t feel oily when i use this , i hardly use powder over this , it has solved all my problems …

when i apply it on my face i find it a bit dark .. i have it in no 6 Linen .. but when blended it just matches my skin , for reference i am NC 35 in MAC …

Price- 1550/- INR for 1 Fl.oz bottle , it will last me an year i hope so coz i don’t use much … may be more then that

My Take – If you are looking for a lightweight foundation which has decent color selection this is for you , however if you are looking for heavy coverage this one is not for you …

Love

RASHMI

    This looks lovely on your face Rashmi..the no oil version of TM is it?? SOunds good..But the attitude of Clinique staff in Blr..kinda holds me back from going there at all..Maybe I should try when Im in del or mumbai :-)

    I have heard so much about this foundation. It looks really nice on you, all fresh & natural. I think I wld like to try this out. I like using lighter coverage on a regular basis. I go for heavier coverage only when attending some functions :)
