Advantages: Great foundation for all times fo the day Disadvantages: Expensive
...have been a user of Clinique make-up for quite some time. I was attracted to Clinique make-up because it is sensitive on your skin, and I have extremely sensitive skin. I have tried many other foundations, creams, powders and all-in-one foundations and this truly is the best foundation I have used. Although Clinique products tend to be on the expensive side, I find it is always worth paying the extra on something as important as a foundation.

Once open the compact is divided into to two halves on the bottom of the inside, one part is the foundation the other is the sponge. On the top of the inside there is a large mirror for application of the product.
The mirror is large enough to use to apply your foundation and see quite a large amount of your ...

Advantages: Good texture, ease of application, variable coverage Disadvantages: tends to use up quickly
A god send in a compact. Being a bit of a make-up junkie, I bought this foundation for no other reason than that I hadn't tried it already and I had "heard" it was quite good. I also love to use a compact to touch up on nights out or just to bring to work to freshen up during the day, so much more convenient than a bottle - and "cleaner", without having to dip your fingers into a pot or whatever. This product has a beautiful smooth, light, very slightly ... ...seamless base. The coverage you get depends on the amount you apply naturally, but I found one "swipe" was perfect for day time wear and maybe a second layer for nights out in smoky, humid atmospheres would be advised. Minimal moisturisation is needed underneath so would be perfect for oilier skins. My own skin tends to be dry and unlike other compacts which can "cake" on dry skins I found this a dream to apply, it felt very moist and cooling on ...

Advantages: Nice packaging, great coverage Disadvantages: Pricey
I love this make-up!! It gives great coverage, is the perfect shade for my skin and moisturises too. This make up is quite pricey and lasts for around a month but its the only make up ive found that suits my skin tone perfectly. It comes in a stylish green marble case with a large mirror inside. It goes on lovely and smooth and does not cake or look orange. This is the best foundation ive ever tried. I wish i could buy it more often but as its quite ...

Advantages: Quick & easy to use all-in-one product Disadvantages: Fairly light cover
I first bought Clinique CityBase a few years ago, wore it every day, stopped for a while, tried some other products and have now come back to it - it's so quick and easy to use. It's a combined foundation and powder with in-built sunscreen so it's all you need. I've tried stick foundations but found them fiddly. The cover you get is not quite as good as a liquid or cream foundation but it's perfect when you only have a few minutes for your make-up. ...

Advantages: Good finish, takes away shine, stays all day Disadvantages: price - but it's worth it
This is my absolutely favorite foundation. Maybe I'm just a touch on the lazy side but the all-in-one nature of city base foundation definately appeals to me. Not only does this foundation make it unnecessary to applying separate liquid foundation and powder but it is also spf15 and therefore offers me some protection from the sun every day of the year. I think sun protection is absolutely essential to prevent the skin ageing and if you can apply ...
