Review: The foundation is not at all runny and has a slightly thick viscosity. The foundation is of a creamy consistency and can be applied with a brush or a wet sponge. It comes in 8 shades in India though it comes in lot more shades outside India. And you stay matte all day.įirst Impressions: It comes in a very sleek tube with a steel cap and it looks very simple and not a luxury bottle as per its price.

At the same time, this patent-pending formula absorbs shine, controls oil, resists sweat. So I went ahead with this foundation which gives a matte finish so that it saves me from all those troubles.Ībout the Product: Tested for streaking and fading at 88☏ with a constant 80% humidity, all to prove Stay-Matte stays fresh. I generally have a normal to dry skin but still in summers I do face a little oiliness on my T-zone after long working hours and I feel the need of blotting papers or touching up the face.

I have a Stay-Matte Oil Free Foundation in the shade 15 Beige and I am using it quite frequently in summers and you must have seen me posting my looks using this product many a times. Clinique is known to be great in skin care for all skin types and makeup by clinique is also so very gentle and friendly on skin. Clinique products are very skin friendly and it is one of the first dermatologist-tested cosmetic brand as they claim. Obsessed with these moisturising chubby sticks to finish off my low key look.Today I am going to share my reviews on a high end foundation by Clinique. My foundation and the best of the rest (all links below). Smoothing out and blending in the foundation with the Buffer Brush which allows you to spread it quite thinly and also dab it wherever you want to layer it for more coverage.Īdding a little bit of blush to to brighten up my cheeks. On goes the Honey Wheat (10) with the magic wand which is my shade. We took it off the lighter shade to add more of to add more of something similar We thought the first two were more my colour and the one on the far right was much too light. Testing out three likely colours on the lower part of my cheek Clinique stores are currently offering a free 10 day start to flawless skin, while stocks last (no purchase necessary). There have also been a lot more colours released by Clinique very recently to suit a wide variety of skin tones so for all the Indian girls out there like myself you’re in for a treat. All the links are on below to shop, however as I mentioned it’s a great idea to go and try it out yourself in store. Either way if I do just wear the same foundation all over, I will lift up my cheeks with a blusher and moisten up my lips with a tint. I matched with 10 Honey Wheat which was pretty much perfect, with a close call with 8.25 Oat which I actually got too, because I love to mix slightly.

I have annotated the images below so you can see the steps of how I found my exact match of the Beyond Perfecting foundation and concealer, and the rest of my make up look.

In order to get full use out of it the ‘magic wand’ applicator allows you to layer it on places where you want more coverage (forehead) and smooth out thinner with a brush or your fingers if you want lighter coverage (on my jawlines and upper cheekbone). This is where Beyond Perfecting is great because it acts as a foundation and concealer all in one where you can spot correct. I tend to be prone to a little bit of redness on my cheeks and also have slight pigmentation on my forehead which is actually a birthmark (ugh). If you’re anything like myself it’s likely that you have a slightly uneven skin tone in different areas of your skin. There’s nothing worse than buying a foundation, only to find out at home that it’s too yellow or red for your skin tone. Going into store (any Clinique counter) to try a foundation is highly recommended as you get that one to one time with the beautician to colour match you properly. I always like to have a trusted bottle of goodness to smooth me over whatever the weather. I often need to give myself a little nudge to re adjust my colours according to what my skin is up to at the time, whether it’s after holiday and getting few shades darker from the sun or a general breakout. I will admit that in the past couple of years, I am a regular wearer of foundation on my skin and do enjoy the process of applying it on my skin in general. Last week I made a recce to the Clinique store in Londons Covent Garden to try Beyond Perfecting, the all in one foundation and concealer.
