- I've been excited to finally get my hands on this new foundation. Clinique has always been a brand that I've trusted with more mature skin, but will the Even Better Clinical Serum Foundation agree with my dry skin....or will it be a complete disaster?

I‘m watching you from Germany, my english is not so good, sorry. But I am glad, that I found you, I understand the most. By american YT I can‘t. Your information are very helpful and so lovingly explain. Thank you so much. All the best, stay healthy. Many greetings from here. Evelyn
Welcome to the Wolfpack Evelyn! 💜
I'm "Team Love It". I've been wearing this on my 71 year old face for several months. As a matter of fact I just opened a Sephora box with a second shade of this foundation in it to match my faux tan skin a little better. Even though I have mature skin I don't have dry skin. Maybe a patch or two from prescription Tretinoin, but nothing to make me dislike this foundation. Enjoyed your review, Gemma. I'm always thankful when reviews are thorough like this one. 👍🏻
I have to second your compliment, Gemma is the best at reviewing makeup, I really trust her and love her honest insights.
My fav at the moment is Estee Lauder Futurist Hydra Rescue Moisturizing Makeup.
Superb coverage and very natural looking.
I just love all your videos thanx Gemma
This foundation surprised me. It sets and doesn’t move on my dry skin. I had to use it in a small area at a time. I am grateful for it, and for you! Your videos are always a pleasure.
Thank you. So glad you have tried on different days with various screens and primers
Hi thanks for this review. I am wearing this foundation through a NZ winter, normal to slightly dry skin. As long as I keep my skin really hydrated, this foundation wears super well throughout the day, and totally agree - you only need a small amount to cover your face.
I find I usually like the foundations you like as we have very similar skin & also coverage likes. I have tried this & I usually cannot wear Clinique foundations , but I really like it. Its not an everyday foundation for me because of the coverage but I do love it when I wear it. Thanks for another excellent review!
Hi Gemma, your skin looks great and you’ve knocked it out of the park with your bronzer and bushes today. Beautiful x
Your new setup is so much better. Both sides are equally lit now. I love your videos ☺️
Seriously love this foundation, I’ve worn it the same heat and humidity working with horses all afternoon in the Midwest. Definitely looking forward to using it with the beauty blender instead of a brush. Thanks
Cheers Gemma!! I love your attitude and find you completely charming. I am reaching across the ocean with a hug for you and your Mum! I am a little younger-but so appreciate you bringing her in with opinions for us over 50s….
This was a great review, thanks Gemma. After watching this I will stick happily with my much loved iT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better Foundation + Skincare.
This foundation looks really good on the perimeters of your face! There it looks absolutely flawless! (It looks good all over too, but I see what you mean with that it is not as forgiving to texture or dryness as it could be). It would be interesting to see if this foundation could play well together with another foundation then one could put this on the outer perimeter and a more texture forgiving formula on the middle of the face… ❣️
I have been using this and I am normal to dry skin. I would definitely say use a hydrating primer underneath and it sits lovely all day. I use Laura Mercier hydrating primer and it works.
Without a good primer it can cling to dry areas and go patchy.
And yes less is more with this 😁
I actually love this foundation for my mature normal skin @60+, it’s been my go to foundation for a little while now since I purchased it here in Australia 🇦🇺, I’m wondering how it would work on your Mum, to get her opinion on it as well, you could actually see it flaking on your chin area but that was up close and personal but from a distance it looked quite lovely 🥰, I apply it with a damp sponge and it gives me a flawless look. 💖💖
I'm "Team Love It!" Of course, I am extremely oily. It doesn't even look like foundation on my skin and stays put all day. 😍
Hi Gemma,for my dry sensetive skin it did not work.And i did one aplecation.Glad i got a sample,no not for me.Thank you.
I’ve been a Clinique junkie for over 20 years (mostly for their fragrance-free skin care) and have never got on that well with any of their foundations or shade matches… but it doesn’t stop me trying. I bought this after watching Michelle Wang’s review (she loves it). It looked great initially after application and I used it sparingly as I was aware it was classed as full coverage. As the day wore on, it settled into my ‘creases’ but only really evident when I scrutinised it in my 10x magnifying mirror 😁. I like it, I don’t love it. I will use it up and not repurchase. My go-to’s are still Estee Lauder and Laura Mercier.
This was the first serum foundation that I tried several months ago, and I wound up returning it to Ulta. I was never able to get it to sit properly, it seemed patchy. I have normal skin, I am 51, and my biggest skin concern is redness related to some sensitivity. I have since tried the Bobbi Brown serum foundation and really like the way it goes on and how it lasts for the day. I get a kick out of British people saying it is so hot and muggy: I live in Texas and we have been having 100*+ days for the last month or so, usually with 80-90% humidity. I lived in London for years so I understand the weather there!
No apologies necessary Gemma..great video ! I actually thought the lighting looked great. Love your new setup 😊❤️.
Lighting is perfect IMHO 🥰
I had a sample of the Clinque Superfit. That was perfect for me. Light weight with just enough coverage and great lasting ability
It looked good from my side. Definitely had the more polished skin look to it. It covered!!!
Hi there, i love your videos. My favorite foundation of the moment is Korean and is the Missha Magic Cushion. It is so perfect and beautiful. I'm usually light médium and ordered shade 23 and it is perfect even with a little self bronzer.
Just love it. My skin is perfected and long lasting for Canada climat.
Thanks Gemma! After seeing your review, i now know this is not a foundation for me, i have quite dry skin. You saved me money 😉 . With the upcoming holiday, can you do a "favourite tinted moisturisers" video please. I don't like a heavy foundation in summer (well never, but i summer even less) but i find it hard to choose one, without some more info. If possible ofcourse, i understand you might have subjects/ideas already chosen. Greetz, Esther
I too hardly wear foundation, winter or summer. I love tinted moisturizer. I have Ct and Laura Mercier. I slightly prefer Laura Mercier. Would love to see Emma’s review!
@@goldie4245 thanks Karen, Laura Mercier is now on my list to look in to. Gemma reviewed it if i remember correctly, i will re-watch (is that even a word? lol) it. However i would love to see multiples compared in a faves video so i can pick one that would suit my skin type. Let's hope more Gemma fans do :-). Greetz from The Netherlands, Esther
It does say on their website it’s hit oily skin so I’m not surprised it was a problem with dry patches.
Great video enjoyed it thank you for the review as I was thinking about buying it but I have second thoughts now 🌹🌷🌺🌸🌹🌸🌷💕
Lovely videos, very helpful. What do you recommend more for dry skin? Nars Sheer Glow or Clinic Even Better Glow. Love to hear your feedback. Thanks
I haven't tried it I really don't have a desire too it did look very pretty on you I just received my flower beauty foundation that I've never tried before and I'm in love with it I love watching your videos waiting to see Mom again God bless
Luv the new background!
Thanx for the review x
Could you give the Tarte Hydroflex Serum foundation as well? I am sooo curious. Love your channel and reivews!
I did try a sample of this Gemma, same as yourself, I’m very dry & it went all patchy x
Considering all the talk lately about PFAS being found in makeup products, could you please do a video giving your thoughts on this?
No need to apologize for adjusting to your new setup. I wouldn't have noticed anything. Just delighted to watch another video! 😉
It looks so pretty 👍
Still working on my Born to Glow by NYX, bought another one shade darker bc our skin lightens as we age, sigh. And I also love the No7 Lift & Luminate, there were no testers where I got that but I lucked out and got the perfect shade. Can you tell I'm a d/s beauty only lol? Thx Gemma!
I love it so far💛
The website says it contains vitamin c which may explain the irritation on your chin. Also seems to say it's for combination/ oily skin. I use the Everlasting Beauty Fluid and would like to try this, but would want a sample before I splash out!
I tried this a couple of weeks ago and sent it back! It aged me so much unfortunately. I’ll stick to my wet n wild dewy, physicians formula healthy and zoeva 💕
The salicylic acid and vitamin C included in the foundation are reason enough for me to pass on this foundation. My dry skin would react badly to it. As nice as it looked on you I'm sure there are other foundations you use that you like far better. Great review. XXOO❤
I enjoy this but I have extremely oily skin!
Thanks for the review. I only apply light coverage. Everyday look is tinted moisturizer. My skin is normal / a bit dry. I love love love Clinique moisture surge moisturizer. So I think this might work for the few times a year I wear foundation!
Moisture Surge is the best!!!! Have you tried the overnight mask? I’ve been using their skincare for 30 years -I’ll try others but I always go back to Clinique-but not foundations anymore-Korean BB creams are my faves😊
@@sandybowers5085 yes I tried mask, which prompted me to try moisturizer. These two products make my normal/ dry senior skin feel fantastic. Can u recommend a Korean tinted moisturizer? I don’t like foundation, and think I can get away with tinted moisturizer. Started wearing foundation because everyone else’s was. Lol
@@goldie4245 I can recommend Korean BB creams which are very light weight-the Missha and the Mizon are the ones I’ve tried and I love them-the shade range isn’t fantastic but when I’m tan I’ll add a pinch of foundation that is darker and it does the job - I get mine on Amazon
Hi, love your videos and your such a nice person.
Not for me, but as always a great review, Gemma!!!
Love, hugs and kisses 😘
I got a free sample of this when I was picking up their Moisture Surge face cream, (Love it) I was so excited when I first put it on, as the color was perfect!!!
It was so drying on my normal skin😢
Never have I tried anything so drying!!!
So bummed!!! 😭
Same here! I thought a "Serum Foundation" was hydrating 😅
As always, it looks lovely on you but I’m not swayed. I am really loving the Sephora Best Skin Ever at the moment. If you can get your hands on it I think you’d like it!
You have amazing lashes!! Is it a mascara or false lashes? can you share ? Thank you!!!
Hi from Oz I love this foundation! I have normal skin & this foundation is beautiful. Since I've been wearing it I've had compliments on my skin not my make-up my skin ! In fact I've been asked if I've had botox ! So in a nutshell it's a 👍👍👍 ❤ for me xo
Cheryl Thomas, Hi fellow Aussie here from Queensland, I love this foundation also applied with a damp sponge works great for my mature skin @60+, it’s been my go to foundation since I purchased it. 🥶🥶🥶💜💜
@@-nellie-m3711 Totally agree 👍❤
@@cherylthomas7236 and Nellie. Thank you both for your comments. I'm 60+++ with normal skin so your views are very useful 👍
@@gailsykes2691 Thank you glad our view helped. I've just turned 60 🤣 I have bought so many foundations to find my holy grail & this one is it🤗 I also have tried it cosmetics your skin but better foundation + skincare it's beautiful too ❤👍
I don’t like this or the normal even better although that was better just way too thick to spread so i’d have to put lots on. I much prefer the clarins everlasting youth fluid, you mentioned your mum loved in a previous video, which really doesn’t accentuate fine lines and pores and makes the skin really supple. Thanks for the review x
Hi. I tried this foundation and it is very good on my mature skin. I have combination skin. I really like it. I added it to my fsvs. Armani, Chanel and Makeup Forever. Aloha!
I kind of knew when this started, that i wasn’t a candidate for the formula….they always seem to do the combo/oily skin angle….that’s okay…i have my fave….
Hi Gemma, Would you consider doing a cheaper dupe foundation vlog I keep hearing about companies like w7 and Primark ps foundation being dupes for Estée Lauder obviously there is a massive price difference so would love to know if the cheaper ones are any good! Thanks x
Off topic but your eyebrows look great. If you are ever near a La Mer counter, you could maybe get a sample of their serum foundation and try it. I think you would really like it. ❤️
I'm keen to try this one - historically, clinique shade ranges haven't haven't great for me. The 'right' shade was either deathly pale or orange. I have very oily skin so the fact it doesn't start as matte makes me nervous about trying it!
Well, first impressions are good! No oxidising in the shade Alabaster. Oil shone through by midday but nothing I'm not used to as I didnt prime, set or powder so I got a true picture. Didn't crease or enhance any dry areas. What I loved is it gave me the full coverage I need for my blemished and scarred skin without looking cakey and it wasn't as matte as my Teint Idole. I'll carry on with this one and see how I go with setting or primers!
I’m dying to try another foundation but nothing seems to come close to my it Cosmetics cc cream! Think this might be too drying for me! 😕
could you review the new LANCOME stick foundation ? thanks
The best test my Even Better got was a full blown near synocope with sweating, hour in an ambulance and then in A&E for 6 hours and it didn't move, how would you compare the two? Thanks Gemma x
I wear Clinique products for 10years and it never disappoints until this particular foundation. The shade is perfect for my skin but its not forgiving with my texture. I prefer a more natural, skin-like finish but it creases on my chin and forehead whereas I never encounter the same problem with other satin foundation. I tried to use light handedly and mix with more moisturizer to reduce the texture but doesnt work so far. However it work tremendously well for my friend who has oily skin and it kinda blends to her like skin. Its not for me :')
Gemma, would you be willing to do a review on the Laura Geller pressed foundation..I saw it on Allie Glines channel and immediately bought it. QVC has(d) a special on. I’m coming up to 72 and hope this works well for me. Especially in summer when I need a powder foundation.
Is that balance and brighten? The formula is excellent, the only issues I’ve had and I know others have too, is the shades. They can run a bit orange but it’s a great formula.
Thank you for your video. I bought this and I found it ordinary compared to BareMinerals Bare Skin Pure Brightening Serum foundation (sadly discontinued). This is one of the few foundations that it gave me varied results where at times I got dry skin texture from this foundation and I normally have a combination oily/normal skin. Disappointed.
Also have you tried the Tarte Sea Glow? I’m loving that one a lot
I haven't tried that one yet xxx
Goodness Gemma, you guys usually get stuff way before us but we’ve had this for at least three months. I’m not sure how I feel about it, looking forward to hearing your thoughts. xxx
I think it would be great with a couple drops of face oil mixed with it
Went into buy a foundation on my birthday as the shop in question was doing a promotion so the sales assistant recommended this foundation. I am 51 but have combination skin not particularly dry or oily. Anyway cut a long story short this foundation just left my skin in a red, angry mess. Sticking to my Nars 😘
Any recommendations for dry mature skin?
Dear Jemma, have you tried the original Even Better foundation? If yes, which shade do you have in the original one? I am trying to figure out which shade will be better for me in the new Even Better Clinical. Thanks in advance :)
What’s that mascara you use x
What nude liner did you use in your waterline? It looks beautiful and I’m having trouble finding one with any staying power. The milk liner I loved is now discontinued- of course. Hahahaha. Sending oodles of love
Stay tuned for Monday’s video xxx
I at first loved this foundation on me but then I noticed on my nose it looked terrible and that was from application. I have normal skin and I was wondering was it the primer but I tried different ones and still the same. Such a shame.
I purchased this, I loved it for about 3 days. It was a fantastic color match, finish, yada, yada, yada. THEN.......my face started burning, turning red, and very dry.
I returned it.
Yes that is what happened to me also.
Hi, it's only for oily skin?😔
I am wondering if you have done a Primer video. I am 62 and starting to see some pores and I am beginning to experiment with some Primers and am hoping you have the homework for me and found a decent primer. Thanks for your videos!!!!!!
Not yet xxx
I like your eyeliner/shadow. What are you wearing? 11:07
I have wanted to try this but I can’t find a good color match. 😞
If you’re in the States Macy’s gives free samples -well, mine did, and I’ve seen others comment that they were able to get samples...hope that helps❤️
Hi Gemma, love your reviews ! Can I just check is the background on your new set up meant to be blurred? Unfortunately it’s creating a dizzying effect for me. Any chance you could go back to the unblurred background?
My backgrounds have always been blurred Denise. It's a way of making my face and anything close up much clearer. The background is just closer. xxx
I tried it, didnt like the way it loiked on my face. Cakey even with a primer
I have the same thoughts on this foundation. I like it directly after the application, but throughout the day, I feel it dries me out. When I read "Serum Foundation" I thought it was hydrating, which it is not. Over all it might be a good foundation but not for me...
For me the verdict is still out…some days it looks great…some days it does not. I don’t always use exactly the same primer, etc…but since I rotate things, it is hard to keep it straight. It reminds me of the Hourglass Foundation.
I like the concealer better. But still mot give enough up…it is summer now and this is where it is going to have to shine
I tried to like it but I can't wear this without it cracking and sliding in my fine wrinkles. The end result is that I look way older with bad skin.The even better spf15 works best.
When I first got this foundation I hated it. Then I watched a Taylor Wynn vid where she said she uses Paulas Choice BHA 2% salicylic acid before she applies all her other stuff so I tried that method and that made the biggest difference in how this applies and wears. I am now in love with this foundation and I swear my skin looks better and better under it but even if you use the BHA and you have dry skin it will still show flaky bits at the end of the day.
Thanks for this tip. I use the PC BHA but usually just under tinted mineral sunscreen. I think it gives the skin a bit of glow and controls oil. I’m tempted now to get the foundation. I like the idea of high coverage but used very sparingly to cover redness on my cheeks.
@@louisem2097 I hope you can grab a sample first to try it out as the clinique foundation is rather pricey. I really liked using the PC BHA under the foundation as it smoothed out my pores so the foundation didn't make them stand out as much :). Good luck and I hope it works for you.
@@amandaf5664 Such a good point. So easy to splurge on makeup or skincare only to find it doesn’t suit you. I do quite like the Revlon Colorstay foundation for combination/oily skin. It is about 1/3 price of this Clinique foundation and is good at not going shiny or oxidising, quite a matt finish, doesn’t highlight pores and you don’t need much to get good coverage. The only problem is that it contains fragrance which is quite strong and I have very sensitive skin so limit my use of it. The Clinique foundation would be better in that respect 😊
Because I use tretinoin I can't use a BHA every day. That's a big no no for me. Great if your skin can tolerate it though, but it's not great for everyone xxx
@@PamperedWolf I also use tretinoin and get flakey bits around my chin if I use it everyday so I'm playing with how frequently during the week I use it. My skin loves BHA's and AHA's though but only the Paulas Choice products it seems :).
What is the brush you used to apply the foundation?
Zoeva 104 xxx
What color r u?
Tfs xx
Curious if your mom with more oily skin tried this? Thank you!
Not yet but I'll pass it on to her xxx
To be fair to the foundation, it's not marketed for dry skin.
I reckon this will be excellent for combination/oily skin. I imagine that the drying aspect (possibly due to the salicylic acid) is perfection for these skin types.
As your Mum has combination skin maybe this would be smashing for her (there you are Jan, I'm looking out for you so you don't have to shuffle it into your handbag when your Gemma's not watching, 🤣😂🤣).
This definitely isn't one I'll be getting - I'd look like a withered up prune! 😂😂💞❤💞❤💞❤💞
😂😂😂 Lots of love Chrissy ❤️Xx
I’ll be passing it on to my mum Chrissy. I knew it possibly wasn’t going to be for me, but I had word back from a few of my combination oily friends who said it went really cakey and shiny on their skin so I thought I’d try it out xxx
@@PamperedWolf
Oh no! So who is suitable to wear this? Just the oily skin types left!
It doesn't seem to be a good formulation does it? xxx xxx
@@chrissymoss514 hi Chrissy. Update on the glamping! Lovely accommodation, stylish and well equipped but too much like hard work for a holiday (for me anyway). Oven was outdoor pizza oven, logs needed to light it, indoor log burner, ditto heater for hot tub. Won't do it again but fab for anyone who likes camping/caravanning etc. I grew up in the 50s so I've done my share of roughing it 😂😂
@@gailsykes2691
Oh no Gail, hopefully the weather holds up and you can coax everyone to eat out! I'm like you, I've done my fair share of "working in a different location" type of holidays (camping/self catering abroad etc), I need pampering now - I'm too old! 🤣😂🤣.
Thank yooooo so, so much for getting back to me, I was wondering how the hol was going.
I pray you have a truly wonderful time 🌸🌟💗🌟💗🌸
Unfortunately for me,this foundation settled into the pores on my nose and chin. Such a shame because the color and finish were really pretty.
I tried this on my 50yr old, combination skin. It didn’t work for me at all. It made my skin look terrible.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
“Thick gloopy formula” is not selling it to me 😂🙈
I tried this and did not like it :( made my skin look very dry and not smooth
Why Clinique thought making a dewy foundation with salicylic acid is beyond me.
It isn’t dewy on me at all. Serum texture but not dewy at all.
New tan?
I bronzed xxx
It looks awesome
I was massively disappointed with this foundation. I expected a much lighter, more becoming texture. It looked awful on my skin, like spackled on. Much too strong coverage. It stuck to my dry patches terribly. It still sits on my shelf and I keep trying different methods of application … no luck so far. It also dries down very fast and looks still more unbecoming then. Not for me.
Interesting that a damp sponge applicator is the preferred method since the foundation is waterproof. Question, I am Cool pale complexioned and have never used a neutral tone like you. Would neutral wash out a pale skin? (That’s why I ‘ve hesitated) Sometimes cool tone is sold out (weird!). BTW, we in the US can’t get some of your products either 😈.
Seems like this foundation is more work than others. Pass. Love to all the wolves💕
Usually neutral shades are balanced with cool and warm pigments, but sometimes they are more dominant in one or the other. Skin tone has nothing to do with undertone. Hope that helps Donna. Xxx
@@PamperedWolf yeah, I read my own comment. I should learn to proof read. Sorry bout that. I’m pale with pink undertone and I use light Fair with pink undertone. Just wondering about neutral. Thank you for answering a goofy question. That was kind of you when it wasn’t totally answerable. Lol.
I'm your skin twin. I did not enjoy this foundation. At all. It was fine, but it wasn't for my skin at all.
I think it doesn't look nice at all. there are nicer foundations on you😊💕
Sorry not liking the new background its very busy and distracting
I’m not quite sure I like this foundation on you. Maybe the color isn’t quite right? To my eyes it looks a bit cakey or heavy on you. Also, if YOU don’t like it then phooey. You have to please yourself first right? I don’t even think your mum would steal this one.
Really the worst foundation ever for me. Strong fragrance, emphasizes pores, texture, creasing all over the face and sinking in every little wrinkle. I have combination skin but I'll never wear it so long to see any improvement.
This isn’t fragranced. Are you thinking of a different foundation? X
@@PamperedWolf no no this is it.Mine has a strong walnut-like perfume!
