Clinique Superbalanced Make-Up

...I have a bottle of Clinique Superbalanced makeup. This is a square bottle that looks very elegant. It has a silver screw top. Turning to the back of the bottle, I read the directions/what it does. It states: Allergy tested. 100% fragrance free. The smart makeup base. Absorbs oil where oil-control is needed; moisturizes where hydration is needed. Slips onto skin easily. Oil-free. Shake well before using. Okay, so I gave it a try. Living in the 'sunshine ...
...It is made by, Clinique Labs, Dist. N.Y., N.Y., 10022, N.Y. London. Paris. It comes in a 1 fl.oz./30 ml size. As I used such a small quantity, I think this bottle will last me years. I cannot compare this with other products. I believe the last liquid face makeup I purchased was Max Factor, in England, about 20 years ago. There is still some in it, and I don't think it has completely dried up. If you have young beautiful skin, I am sure this product ...

Review of Clinique Superbalanced Make-Up

...day took me to the Clinique counter in Frasers, wondering what the hell the difference is between all the different foundations. The lady was really nice (are they on commission?) and explained everything to me. She suggested the Superbalanced makeup, and wouldn’t let me buy anything until she’d tested the colour on my face. I found this very helpful as I know I’m wearing the right shade for my skin tone. The staff at any Clinique counter I’ve been ...
...the front is the classy Clinique logo and the product name. On the back is some useful information, it says that it is allergy tested, 100% fragrance free, and is also oil-free. It is a 30ml bottle. You’ll find that the bottle is filled right up to the top with foundation, which is good! The actual product itself is (surprisingly) a light brown/skin colour, but this will obviously vary depending on the shade you’ve chosen. It pours out onto my hand ...

Review of Clinique Superbalanced Make-Up

...I will be reviewing: " Clinique Superbalanced Foundation" - Price - I paid £ 18.50 for 30ml of this product I personally think this is a very reasonable price for such a good quality product, I usually pay up to £29 for any make-up product and this is well under my budget which is surprising seen as this product delivers great results and I would defiantly say it's one of the best foundations I've used and one of the cheapest. The reason I bought ...
...eighteen shades available of the Clinique Super balanced foundation, the fact the product has a large selection of shades makes this product almost perfect for any skin color and your more than likely to find the perfect shade for your skin color. 36 Beige Chiffon 01 Petal 27 Alabaster 02 Fair 28 Light 04 Cream Chamois 03 Ivory 08 Porcelain Beige 34 Nude Beige 04 Cream Chamois 07 Neutral 05 Vanilla 06 Linen 09 Sand 11 Sunny 14 Wheat ...

Review of Clinique Superbalanced Make-Up

...was instantly identifiable as a Clinique product. It was well packaged and easy to carry home safely. The bottle itself is glass and is fairly thick which suggests to me that the bottle is likely to withstand a lot of wear and tear. Is has a simple silver screw top lid which looks nice. The product is called superbalanced foundation as it is recommended for many different skin types and is particularly good for combination skin. I have mainly dry ...
...that some foundations can make me feel oily around the nose and T-zone area, whilst being dry and flaky in others. I have to say that this foundation was the answer to my problems! It glides on well and provides a good level of coverage. The dry areas of my skin felt moisturised, whilst the oily parts felt fine too. My only minor criticism is that it can come off onto clothes a little too easily for my liking, but this is easily solved by adding ...

Review of Clinique Superbalanced Make-Up

I've tried out alot of different types of foundations because I have terrible skin. I am blemish prone and it goes through it's spells of being too oily or too dry. I can also never find a nice shade for my skin, I am rather pale, and I've found that sometimes the lightest shade in a make up range is basically white, and the next shade down is too dark! I wanted to try out the superbalanced make up for a while. I was buying some of the Clarifying ...
...bonus time, so I had to buy something else for the gift. I asked the sales advisor about this type of make up and she found a good shade for me, Alabastor and it blends in very nicely. This foundation is lovely and silky and is good at covering up any marks. I apply it using a sponge but it blends in just as nicely using your fingers. I find it lasts all day long and doesn't wear off after a few hours. It hasn't dried my skin out or made it more ...

Review of Clinique Superbalanced Make-Up

I've been using Clinique superbalanced in Alabaster for about a year and have found it to be a pretty good foundation. It covers up imperfections and provides medium coverage. It is quite expensive, but I find I'm really paying for a foundation which is pale and doesnt leave me looking ill. Its not too yellow based and with a bit of bronzer or blusher, I can almost pass as someone who has a pulse!! Clinique was set up in 1968 as an off shoot of ...
...type suits all approach. Generally, Clinique is more suited to younger skin and Estee to the more mature market, although recently there has been a lot of blurring of these boundaries and I find stuff in Estee Lauder that I'd have originally looked for in Clinique. One thing I have noticed is that you can't be sure how 'thick' the foundation is going to be. Sometimes I get a foundation which will freely run out of the bottle into the palm of my ...

Review of Clinique Superbalanced Make-Up

...have definately been converted to clinique after trying the Superbalanced foundation. I was allways put off by the price ( I paid £17.50), however I think its fantastic-all other foundations I have used have cracked, left me looking a little pinkish, dried out my skin etc etc. I have now been using this foundation for a year and have only purchased one every 6 months so really its great value for money. Especially considering how elegant the bottle ...
...I love going to a clinique counter and being served by the helpful staff there who will sit you down and find the perfect match for you, this is alot better than grabbing the nearest looking one from a counter in boots! They package the items beautifully and you walk away feeling great. I wear this to work everyday and my skin still looks great after a long day at the office! I'd recomment waiting for their gift time as with two products purchased ...

Review of Clinique Superbalanced Make-Up

...balanced make up. Clinique products have high quality and they are safe for skin. No matter what skin type you have, this will fit in. It automatically hydrates the skin IF needed, and also balances the oils. When you apply it directly with your hands, you will need only a few drops to cover all your face. It easily blends into your skin and sets in as if nothing was applied. It gives a flawless look. The bottle is small and very trendy. You can ...
...you feel the need to do so. If you have this on your face, you don't need to apply any other foundation for balancing and to even out skin tone. But if you feel like using a concealer, you can always do that too. That is totally up to you. It won't cause allergry and is dermatologically tested. The bottle doesn't mention it, but I guess it has SPF because I felt that my skin didn't alter its colour after I removed it on returing back from work. BRILLIANT ...

Review of Clinique Superbalanced Make-Up

I have been using Clinique superbalanced foundation for years. I have an odd skin tone because I\'m mixed race so finding the right shade used to be quite difficult. Clinque, however, caters to all sorts of skin tones. This particular type of foundation suits combination skin- it absorbs oil in the right places but doesn\'t dry out other areas. The result is a smoothe, consistent complexion. The fluid is relatively light but gives much better coverage ...
...to control the amount of foundation that comes out of the bottle. If used on its own, the foundation gives a very natural look- you won\'t look overdone. With concealer, a bit of blusher, powder and eyeliner, Clinique Superbalanced can make for a very nicely made up look. ...

Review of Clinique Superbalanced Make-Up

...steer well clear of the clinique counter in my local debenhams or boots. However, I had a special occasion approaching, where I knew there'd be plenty of cameras floating about so I thought that warranted a little extra expenditure on a quality, long lasting foundation to help keep any nasty shiny skin at bay! I opted for clinique as it has a great reputation and I knew I could speak to someone on the counter for advice. It was really helpful doing ...
...so I could be confident that I would avoid that orange look. I was recommended the superbalanced foundation as I have combination skin - oily at theT-Zone and dry on my cheeks. I have found that the foundation works superbly on the oily parts of my skin and does balance my skin well. It comes in a small glass bottle, that looks fab on my dressing table. I usually apply with my fingers as it's easy to blend, but alternatively foam applicators can ...

Review of Clinique Superbalanced Make-Up

...skin for me. I noticed Clinique did this so I went to their counter and just confessed I had no idea what I was doing or what I should be looking for. They selected a couple of foundations they said I could try and this was the one I settled on. I chose this one because it has enough coverage for daywear without looking heavy. I often have blemishes and whilst this didn't cover all of them (I still needed to use concealer) it definatley evened out ...
...get with this. The trick is to use a brush and only a tiny amount to start with. Then build it up if you feel you need more. If you jump straight in and pile loads on then it will just look silly. If you need heavy coverage then this is not for you. For daywear however I think it's great. The packaging is easy to use and looks nice and simple. You can see how much you have left in the bottle which is handy as I know to get more in. When I bought ...

Review of Clinique Superbalanced Make-Up

This foundation comes a 30ml square shaped bottle with a silver crew top. As it doesnt have pump action top it is very easy due to te runny consistency to pore out far more than you anticipated needing. Also the price for the 30ml s around £17.50 which is on the expensive side but as you need only a little I think its worth it. This however is the only drawbacks I have found. Due to the foundation smooth texture and even consistency it was very ...
...I found that I only needed very little on as it smooth out my combination skin. This foundation is suggested for this skin type as it is oil free and absorbs oil where needed so no need to stress about it blocking you pores. As I have pale skin I was supprosed about how easy it was for me to fid the perfect shade for me. However i did notice that for darker skins there is a limited selectiion of shades so it may not be as favourable a product for ...

Review of Clinique Superbalanced Make-Up

I hate my skin! As a youngster I had bad acne and am still prone to it now. If you've read any of my previous reviews you'll see that my skin is a complete combination so I have to be really careful what I buy because otherwise it's a waste of money! I always thought that clinque was a very expensive brand that I wouldn't buy because I never use to wear make-up that often, however, as I wear it more now I felt that spending a little extra would ...
...big retailer for £18.50, however, you can get it cheaper on websites so this is not a problem. It is easy to apply either with hands or brush or pads and smoothes in well to blend in with the colouring and textures of your skin. It's long lasting, I wear mine up to 12 hours a day without need to top it up. it works well with other clinque products such a powder as this enhances the length of stay on your face. It removes from the face brilliantly ...

...me. The lady at the Clinique Counter helped me choose the colour and the type of foundation suitable for me. I told her I was looking for something with a medium natural coverage that is suitable for dry/combination skin and Superbalanced is what she suggested. It is oil free and fragrance free and I must say that it does seem to control my slightly oily t - zone area. It pours out nicely without being too runny and I apply with a cosmetic sponge. ...
