New! Clinique Even Better Makeup SPF15/PA++ Liquid Foundation

March 2, 2012 Paris B 26 Comments

I am a big big fan of Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector (or previously known as Derma White Clinical Brightening Serum) So big, I have a bottle on standby in case I run out as I’m wont to do any day now. I credit this Even Better serum for helping restore the clarity to my skin after recent events and I’m quite happy to stick to it. But I digress… because today, I’m here to tell you that Clinique has a new Even Better Makeup … which is liquid foundation! 😀

Actually, its new here in Malaysia and you can expect to see it on counters starting March 2012… which is now! 😀 I believe our friends overseas have already got access to the Clinique Even Better Makeup liquid foundation for a while. This product is a light to medium coverage liquid foundation that not only acts as a foundation, but also as skincare to take care of dark spots and imperfections in skin tone, with regular use. Being a big fan of the skincare already, naturally the makeup piqued my interest 😉

The Clinique Even Better Makeup liquid foundation is a blend of makeup and skincare, in that the silky foundation contains ingredients to improve skin clarity, reduce discolourations and give a more even skintone overall. But you know what? I expect the last 2 from any liquid foundation, not just Even Better Makeup but it does give skin a brighter look that I quite like.

At a glance, the texture of the liquid foundation is light, and it spreads very easily. You can use a brush (as suggested by the Clinique makeup artist) or your fingers, which is what I prefer. Although very light in texture and feel, the coverage is surprisingly quite good, especially for redness on skin. I will be bringing you a more in depth review in time to come.

In the meantime, if you’d like to check this one out for yourself, there are 10 shades available to suit most Asian skintones and you can check them out at the Clinique counters. I will say I quite like this one, because it holds up well in our hot and humid weather, and is a good colour match for me (Fresh Beige) and I’m not one to look favourably on many liquid foundations 😉

Have you tried the Clinique Even Better Makeup Foundation? What do you think about makeup that fuses with skincare like this one? I quite like the idea because its better than makeup that will harm your skin, isn’t it? 😛 This is new here in Malaysia but perhaps you might have already tried it from overseas or are using it. Do share if you have 😉

    Wow sounds like its a great product! Can’t wait for your full blown review!
    Paris, would you know what are the best anti-shine/oil control products out there?
    I’m using MAC Prep + Prime, but have found that the effects are wearing out on me by noon. Wonder if Benefits Dr Feelgood or Smashbox Luminizing Primer is better…

      Hi Shasha, that’s a good question and there may be a post coming up soon that may help you, if others have ideas because I don’t have very oily skin so I don’t use primers very much. The Smashbox Photo Finish primer does do a good job for me but then, I don’t have very oily skin to start with 🙂

    Ooh oohhh!! Sigh… and the shopping list just got longer and longer…

    I’ve always liked clinique’s foundations because they always give a good coverage, colour matches well with skin tone and prices so reasonable. But lately their liquid foundation makes my skin look so oily and I have yet to try anything other than their mineral powder foundation (which i love!).

    Now you just made me wanna try this one…

      I haven’t used their other foundations actually but I tried some samples previously and didn’t like them. I do quite like this one though. I’m quite curious about the Moisture Surge foundation, but we don’t get it here 🙁

    It’s so timely you roll out this post! I went to the Clinique counter 2 weeks ago asking for this foundation, and she just called me 2 days ago to tell me it was available. I tried out the shades, Fresh Beige & Ivory, and she matched me to Ivory because it’s warmer of the two. I still remember your tweet… LOL! So true!!

      LOL! Yep! We are clearly in the same skintone range, but with markedly cool tones at my end and warm at yours 😉 Did you pick it up and have you tried it?

    I’ve been seeing commercials for this, but have yet to try it. I had a really bad experience with their foundation for acne (which made my pores look even bigger :-/ ), but this one is lighter coverage, so I might get a sample next time I go by a Clinique counter ^.^

      Do try and see if you can snag a sample. I do quite like this one because it didn’t feel oily at all on the skin and coverage is quite good too 🙂

      Do see if you can get a sample from the counters – can’t promise though 🙂 This is the first time I’m trying their foundation and I quite like this compared to their earlier versions which I found too heavy and oily.

    Hi paris! I was given d sample of dis foundation, and i was matched to the color 66.i donno why the SA wrote the numbers on the tube,not the real name. For me, dis foundation is not for those with oily skin. It has medium coverage, blendable, and if u like estee double wear or revlon colorstay u’d probably hate dis one. In addition to dat,if u like estee lauder nutritious , u’d probably like dis one.It’s quite cheap compared to others,rm115.it doesnt hv any fragrance too. I probably wont purchase dis by the way.

      I think the colours are usually denoted by the number but I’m not very good with numbers so I use the names 🙂 I find the EL and Revlon a bit too heavy so you might be right. I do like this one 🙂

    Just when my Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua foundation’s running out!! I’ve been eyeing either the Diorskin Forever Foundation or the Shiseido Perfect Refining Foundation but both costs more than this Clinique one! I’ve tried their Superbalanced foundation but even their lightest shade was too dark for my skin tone… Since our colouring’s pretty similar I may just check this out! =D Thanks for the heads up, Paris!

      I found the other Clinique foundations too heavy and the colour match was off for me too! But this one is much better. I found also that texture wise, this one is lighter than Diorskin Forever but similar to Shiseido Perfect Refining Foundation. It is in fact quite close to the Shiseido one so I think they are quite interchangeable 🙂

        Thank you so much! The Shiseido Foundation’s more expensive so I think I’m sticking with this one! =D I dropped by a Clinique counter today and the SA matched me to Rose Beige (62) but I’m not sure if that’s really my shade! I asked for your shade but she was adamant that Rose Beige is my ‘perfect colour’ and refused to let me swatch other shades! +___+

    Do you know if Clinique is giving out samples for this foundie? I getting a bit sick of my skin79 oriental BB cream. It makes dry skin stand out in a bad way. Looking for a moisturizing alternative.

      I’m not sure if they are giving samples but you can always try asking or if you bring a little container, you might be able to persuade the SA to give you a sample anyway 😉

      Hi Milktea! Yes I managed to bag myself a sample of the foundation in the ‘generic shade’ – 64 Cream Beige. The Clinique counter I went to only had samples in this shade but I suppose it’s good enough if you just want to test the texture out! =)

    I quite love it! I’m from the states, Socal to be exact, and I’ve had it for a while now. It gives quite a bit of coverage (medium – full) and is very, very buildable.

    The verdict for oily/combi skin for this foundation is that there isnt much oil control. Coverage is high-almost full if applied with fingers. Brushes and not even the beauty blender helps to add coverage. Its a good everyday foundation but for people (me) who already have foundations to last a few lifetimes (metaphorically) there is no need to run out and buy this right away lol. Just my 2 cents

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
