I thought it turned out beautiful! Thank you so much! It’s nice to see a review on Clinique. I’d love to hear your stories 😊
Thanks so much Chelsea!! 🤗❤️ Have a great day! 🌸
I do agree, that is a pretty foundation. I used to wear Clinique when I was in high school. I really need to revisit that one. 🥰 it really looked nice on you.
Thank you so much! 🥰 I felt nostalgic going back and purchasing so much Clinique stuff! It had been a while... but I'm glad I did as it reminded me of what a great line it is. Hope you' have a great week! ❤️
Thank you for doing this ! So many are doing the same old ones over and over . And not even brave enough to try anything else
Thank you so much for this Maggie! 😍 I really appreciate it. You've put a huge smile on my face today! ❤️
Thanks - great review, beautiful look. And yes - we want those stories!
Thanks Grace! ❤️😇❤️
Great video, thanks for reviewing. I have a slightly yellow undertone. I will check and see if they have a decent match.
Thank you Tami! 🤗 And my fingers are crossed for you! ❤️ I hope they have a great shade match, as it's a really lovely formula! 😍
I love Clinique; it was my go-to for years and my Mother-in-law managed a Clinique counter for over 20 years. I haven't tried any of their foundations in a while,, but this one is tempting! Great review, as always! ❤️
Thank you so much Heather! ❤️ And I LOVE that you MIL managed a Clinique counter! Did she ever snag you some free stuff? 😉❤️ (that's definitely a perk I miss! )
@@foundationlady She actually taught me how to apply my makeup, long before she was my MIL. She did snag some swag for me from time to time after I married her favorite son. 😉
Completely agree on the lack of neutral or cool toned foundations for lighter skin. I fall into the Light-Medium category and I have only been able to find one “ foundation” that perfectly matches me…..Fenty Skin Tint. And while I love it for Summer, I would love to find something with a bit more coverage for Winter.
I walked around Sephora one day trying to color match to no avail. Everything had that peachy undertone or yellow!
Anyway! This looked great on you. Thanks for another great video!!!!
Oh that is so frustrating my friend! ❤️ I've been there SO many times (pretty much any time I pick up a Laura Mercier Foundation... 🥹) In fact when I saw your comment, I tried to start mentally going through neutral shades I know of to try to help! I don't know if you've tried any of these, but the new KOSAS foundation has some really pretty neutrals in their line, as well as some of the SMASHBOX foundations. The SALT NY Sneaky Balm has some amazing neutrals in a cream / balm form. As far as Drugstore goes, Revlon Colorstay has some pretty neutrals, shade 202 of the L'OREAL Pro Glow foundation has a gorgeous neutral undertone in a light shade. The Missha M BB cream specifically shades 21 and 23 are super neutral (almost look gray at first, until they melt into the skin, then they are really lovely!) And as far as powder goes, this Clinique loose powder shade 20 of course , and for pressed powders, I love the Zuzu Luxe (you can find on AMAZON) dual powder foundation, that I use as both a powder foundation, or just as a finishing powder. I hope this helps! 🤗 And I'll keep searching for those neutrals as I continue on with my channel!
Love your videos❤️
Thank you so much Rachel!! 🤗 That is so kind of you! ❤️
Canada Girl Here - another wonderful review - I hope more people find your channel because it is so informative - I would love to hear your stories - I'll bet you have some crazy stuff to share - Cheers from Canada 🍁
Well Hello sweet Marnelle! ❤️🍁 Thank you so much for your comment! 🥰 I'll have to get my "behind the counter" stories together! 😋 I Hope all is well, with you, my sweet neighbor to the north! 🙏🏻❤️
Cliniue has several foundations that work well for me and I've enjoyed them very much. When this one released, I was beside myself with glee--it looked perfect for my older, drier skin. It was a bit discouraging to see just how awful it looked on me, though. Since then, (it's been well over a year since I purchased it), it has just sat on my desk and vanity... mocking me. ;) After watching this video, I was inspired to give it another chance, making sure to hydrate and prep the skin very thoroughly; and... it was better. Not great, but much better. My next experiment will be to mix it with a little bit of more hydrating foundation and try again. Thanks for this great video which may well have rescued this product from being a dust-collector in my foundation arsenal. 😍
Oh I'm so glad you were able to give it another shot, and I hope that it will work better as a "mixer" as I know how frustrating that is to have a bottle sitting there mocking you! 🥹 One thing is for sure, there are several "serum" type foundations I have tried this year, and, in my opinion, (almost) none of them have been as hydrating as I would *Imagine* they *should* be from the name. I don't know if that makes sense, but for example... when I tried the Lancome serum "glow" foundation the other week, I thought for SURE it would have a finish similar to the L'OREAL Pro-Glow...(which both looks and feels moisturizing on the skin.) But unfortunately, it just felt, and looked dry on me. I think that's why I was maybe a little more mentally prepared for this one, because even though it said "serum" I thought.... hmmm. these rarely turn out to be moisturizing or maybe I should say as glowy as I think they should be... it is strange though. This year in particular I feel like most of the foundations that have come out have been more matte than usual... even the ones that seem like they are "labeled" to seem more moisturizing.. or maybe my skin is just drying up like a raisin?!! 😂 Anyway, Thank you so much for telling me your experience with it!! ❤️ Have a great weekend Brynda! 🤗
They use to have a shade called petal that was a little pink. It was the only one that worked. I love clinique. I have the concealer and love it. The powder is nice.
I remember Petal! Such a lovely soft pink undertone. I'm so sorry they stopped making it. ❤️ Their concealers are so nice too! 🤗
I’m “vintage” and I really miss the bronzing gel and the apricot coulour rub. Like from decades ago. Also, I got a Black Honey PENCIL liner that I adored. It came in a GWP and I used it to a stub. It was very different from the Black Honey liner in the pot. I loved that pencil. Also there was a glowy finish pressed powder. I need that back. It was better than Hourglass
Oooooh I WISH they would bring back the glow finishing powder!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I use their gel bronzer now when I need to warm up my skin a little bit and really enjoy it, but I don't know that I'm familiar with a previous bronzing gel they had. I'm so glad you are/were a Clinique gal! 😍 Isn't it so nice to have products that are allergy tested and fragrance free, in addition to being such great quality? Thanks for commenting Carol! ❤️
This looks really nice on you. Could you do a one-time eye makeup video? I know this is a foundation channel but always like your classy eye looks.
Thank you Melissa! ❤️ That is so sweet of you! 🥰 I think I will eventually do an eye look (as soon as I can figure out how to get a good focus on my camera for a close up of the eyes! )😂 #technologicallychallenged
I have medium tan , combo/oily, mature skin (Estee Lauder DW in 4W1) and could not find a Clinique match
ugh... I'm so sorry! 😞 That was one of mu BIGGEST frustrations when working for CLINIQUE. There were many times, especially with lighter/medium skin tones, when I would just have to swatch, and swatch, and swatch to try to get a good match... and sometimes I would have to either combine two colors to get the right shade, or in some cases, tell them I was so sorry but there just wasn't a good match! Some of their lines offer SO many shade options, but unfortunately the undertones can be kind of funky. I'm so sorry there wasn't a good match for you. That's so disappointing when you're excited to try out a new foundation. ❤️ Thanks so much for sharing this with me though! 🙏🏻
Hey girl! I found this video as part of my quest to find a solution to my problem with this powder, which is the shade! I also took the lighest shade, 20, but on me - it looks Greyish😢 especially on the under-eyes. My skin is more fair than yours. My under-eye area is almost transparent which makes it appear very blue(-ish?). Even when applying the powder after using my kick-ass Bobbi Brown corrector+full coverage concealer - it's still Greyish and takes away that freshness we aim for. I just watched a Clinique review by Allie Glines and on her skin this powder appeared brownish. 🤷 I REALLY wanna keep using it cuz its a great powder, very reliable. I don't have to set my face during the day and I live in Southern Israel, in the very hot Desert area. I'm wondering if there's a way I can Maybe mix it with a more pink powder to balance it out. Plus, it wasn't cheap.. Mehhh.
What do you think?
Hello in Israel! ❤️🇮🇱❤️ Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me using the Clinique powder! I do find that it is deeper than my other loose powders, and sometimes avoid it when I'm wearing an extra light foundation. I think you have a great idea though to try it with a different powder! Have you ever tried the Maybelline Fit Me Loose Powder? I wonder if you tried mixing a bit of the lightest shade with some of the Clinique if it might mix to a better shade for your under eye area? It's definitely worth a shot, and I'd love to hear how it turns out if you decide to try experimenting with it! ❤️ Worse case scenario, you could always use it on the areas of your face where you might use contour (for example use a cream contour, and then use this powder over it to set it, avoiding the "highlighted parts of your face.) I hope this helps! 🤗 And on a completely unrelated note, one of my close friends just went on a vacation to Israel and LOVED it! She brought back a ton of pictures and I thought it was just so beautiful! 😍
I want to try this foundation so bad can’t fine a shade. I usually wear light natural or beige. You talked me in to the powder. Looking for a pore blurring pressed powder to
Sandy, I'm so sorry you can't find this in your shade, That is so frustrating.❤️ On the positive side though, I'm really hoping you'll LOVE the powder. I used it again today with a different foundation and I'm just so impressed with it's neutral undertone, and the way it blurs my pores! ❤️
This foundations looks gorgeous on you! Along with the concealer and powder too. I can tell it oxidized but not too bad where it looked completely different. It still looks so pretty. I have skin like that Mary from England lol so fair with the pink cool undertones. And I have a huge problem with foundations oxidizing on me. I was curious about Clinique though. I haven’t ever tried it. So thank you for covering it! 😊 you always look stunning with your completed makeup look 💗 I would visit that Clinique counter and have you do my makeup any day! 😊 oh and I love the pop up of Norm 🤣 🐾 Both of you have a great day and keep on shining! ❤️💗 I think he need another treat. He’s just so little and frail 😆😆 hahahahaha! Handsome doggie
My edits are always for grammar and spelling errors 🤦♀️ lol
hee hee... my little "frail" Normie! 😂❤️ (That pup has never met a snack he didn't like!) And thank you so much for the comment! If I still worked at Clinique, I'd love to do your makeup (mainly 'cause I know we'd have an amazing time chatting! ☺️) Have a wonderful day sweet friend! 🌸
@@foundationlady Ha! Tell Norm I’ve never met a snack I didn’t like either lol 😆 and yes we would have a blast! So much fun! And you actually know what you’re doing hahaha! I’m learning! I love your videos and I’ve come to look for Norm somewhere in them too lol
Hi I came across your video because I purchased all 3 of these Clinique products recently and I was wondering if you had these side effects: skin tightening especially around the mouth. I’m thinking maybe I’m allergic to something in the makeup? I’m so bummed because I really like the way it looks when I first apply it and it feels so tight after 1 week 😢 but I’m definitely going back to Ulta and question this. Have a Beautiful day! ❤
Hi Ali! 🤗 Thanks so much for your question, and I'm so sorry the CLINIQUE is giving you unwanted reactions! ❤ I personally didn't have any issues with the foundation, concealer, or powder causing any dryness, but there definitely WERE times when I worked for CLINIQUE when I would try a product that was supposed to be very moisturizing, and it didn't feel moisturizing to me once it dried. SO I can totally empathize! 💕Have you tried it with a moisturizing primer underneath? I really love the NYX hydra Touch one... or maybe it's just not your cup of tea? Which is totally fine too! I think you are absolutely doing the right thing by taking it back if you don't love it! ULTA has a great return policy, and you deserve to wear products that make you feel wonderful! 🥰 If you have time, I'd love to hear an update on what you decide to do with it! 🤗
I have decided to try it .
I'm so glad! ❤️ I'd love to know what you think of it once you've had a chance to try it (or a sample of it.) Hope you're having a great week! 🤗
Yuo reminded me the first face powder I ever remember loving was Clinique translucent loose powder and I treated like it was made of gold, I have a question you stated it was shade 20 they don't seem to be listed that way is it transparency neutral?
I'm not sure if I possibly got an older version of the powder that had a different label on it? I'm out of town right now and don't have the container with me, but I am pretty sure it was the transparency neutral. I don't mind double checking, if you'd like, when I get back home. Just leave me a comment (on any video) saying, hey Jenny! Don't forget to check the Clinique Powder for me, 😂 (or something to that effect... 😂) and I'll see your comment when I get home, and will let you know! ❤️
I obsessively looked for it and found it on amazon, at a discounted price so it's probably discontinued or reformulated because the weight is more than the new one. And this is how I amuse myself, finding and trying old am new makeup products. No complaints its an easy life 😀
@@karenferrara sounds like a wonderful life! 😊❤️ I’m so glad you were able to find it, and solve our mystery of the “name-changing” powder! 😂(seriously though, that’s super helpful to know!) I hope you are having a fabulous New Years Day!! 🎈🎉❤️
Did you do a video telling your makeup counter stories? I’d love to hear them! Maybe a “get ready with me” video?
I haven't done it yet!! But I think it would be so fun!! ❤️ Thanks for the encouragement! 🤗 Happy Friday to you! 🌺
Did the powder help the product not rransfer as much? As a new glass wearer - I notice my makeup coming off
Hi Tabitha! 🤗 I RELATE girl! Isn't that so frustrating to have your foundation come off on your glasses?? I definitely think the powder helped with this one, but it wasn't COMPLETELY foolproof. I find that matte foundations tend to hold up better to glasses than creamier, serum-type formulas... There are a few ways I cheat this a bit.... 1.) I either put the TINIEST bit of foundation around where the glasses hit.... 2.) I just do a matching powder Foundation around the glasses part, instead of whatever foundation I'm wearing that way (sometimes referred to as the "patchwork" foundation technique... or 3.) use a specialty setting spray... a new one I've gotten that is the best I've used so far in keeping foundation from rubbing off on clothing is the "Melanie Mills Hollywood Super Lite Long Lasting setting spray" It's a Hollywood secret used to keep makeup ON ... until it's washed off. I hope this helps! ❤️ My apologies for taking so long to respond. We had a death in the family, and I've been taking some time off. ❤️
I totally agree with you. Clinique had great foundations, I tried quite a few of them through the years. Maybe even all of them, I don't know. Not one fail. Lovely, lovely products. However, I too struggle to find a perfect shade. I have found shades that were decent enough, but the shade range is confusing to me. I don't know if the names/numbers are the same in the US, but in Europe they are confusing. I like it when a shadename of number gives you a guide. Like: light neutral 2. Or deep warm 8. Or light with peachy undertones. Something like that. Clinique doesn't offer me that. There's too much guessing about dept and undertones, and I don't like that. For example the concealer you used: shade Breeze. What the h*ll is that? What shade is a Breeze? Is it light? Warm? Cool? Dark? We don't know, because the shadename means nothing!
It's a shame, because I do otherwise love Clinique. I very much appreciate that they don't add perfume.
That sounds like an interesting job you used to have. I'm always open to stories you want to share!
Yes! ❤️ I completely agree with you on the naming, and numbers! One thing that used to REALLY throw me when I worked there, was that they have a lot of foundations (or at least used to) in opaque bottles, so I couldn't see the actual shade. Then bottles would get put back on the display in a haphazard order, and I 'd be searching through ten different foundations trying to find the right shade.... that was always a bit of a nightmare to me, as I hate wasting people's time!
@@foundationlady I can imagine! 😵
I tried their Refresh & Hydrate foundation (not sure if that’s the correct name but I know it’s close 😕).
The gals at Ulta tried 5 different shades. This was back when the stores were starting to reopen after Covid closings. The sample tubes of everything were gone.
Anyway, by the time I drove there & back 4 times, I spent as much in gas that I spent on a tube of makeup.
IIRC, their shades have changed since the late 70’s and early 80’s….I don’t mean they added more.
Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I thought I had replied to your comment, but I must have forgotten to actually hit the "reply" button after typing! ☺ I'm so sorry you had to drive back and forth to get a match! That is so frustrating. ❤ I hope in the end you were able to find a shade you loved! 🤗
Oh, Jenny. You know we’re gonna need those stories. 😏
😂😂😂
I am VERY pale, with olive/warm undertones. I have never been able to find a Clinique foundation that was a shade match for my skin. The poor employees tried their best, but at least they were honest with me!
I’m very pale, with olive/ cool. I feel ya! I have three shade matches. 🤣😂🤣
The struggle is real @ Patti and @Amberger Helper! ❤️ Patti, I'm so glad they were honest with you. Nothing worse than getting home and realizing that you have a funky shade match! 🤗 I'll keep searching for those (rare) neutral (pale) undertones my friends! 🤞🏻🙏🏻❤️
You are so beautiful )
Wow! Thank you so much! 🥹 You made my day! 🤗
Norm, have you been working out? Looking good, hottie
He's been on a bit of a diet for his tummy ☺️ Needless to say he doesn't;t like it... can't blame him, I hate diets too! 😋
English peole not that white but caltic people are
Thank you so much for letting me know! ❤️🤗❤️
Your way late to the game 😂🤷🏼♀️
These products have been around quite some time.
That foundation shade washes you out, it’s too light.
Maybe go up 1 to cream whip.
Yes! I Sooooo wish I'd found them sooner. Especially the powder! 😍 It's so funny, because when I worked at Clinique (forever ago) I used to see the powder everyday, but I just didn't give it much thought.... I think because I was so in love with one of the other powders (Perfectly Real Powder maybe??) Anyway, I could kick myself for not trying it sooner. It looks good with every foundation I've tried it with so far! ❤Are you a big Clinique fan/user, Jeannine? 😊
@Jeannine Langes... Hi Jeannine! I hope you're doing well. 😊 Every once in a while I like to reach out to a viewer and ask them if there is a foundation that they're curious about that I haven't already featured on my channel. And I wanted to reach out to you! ❤ Is there any foundation out right now that you'd like to see a video on? If not, no worries! I just wanted to say thank you for watching, and have a great weekend! 🌺

Oh I'm so sorry that happened! That must've been so frustrating! I hope Clinique sees this video so they know that we WANT their foundations! We just need them to make sure they have the shades for us! ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me! ❤️
