Clinique : Acne Solutions Liquid Makeup

Okay so, I am currently using this and its not bad. I mean it covers up the problems and that's what you want right? Well anyway, I'm very pale and it does give me a little bit of an orange tint. I have been thinking about blending it in with another type of foundation (any brand) that is a little bit lighter and seeing what happens then. I heard that works. OH, and it kinda lasts long. But not too long. After a while it does look flaky.

This was overall an average product for my skin, however it was wayy too pink for my yellow complexion. It's also quite hard to build up as it did tend to get cakey. Also, it oxidizes into a shade darker so you have to buy a shade lighter. The great thing was that it didn't break me out.

I think I'll always advocate for this foundation- It's amazing. I don't think it directly clears skin, but it definitely doesn't irritate it. Once, my purse got stolen and I lost my bottle of this (I cried) so I had to use a cheap back-up drugstore foundation- and I found that it actually did make my skin worse. So I began to truly appreciate Clinique! I read an earlier review that this stuff only lasts 3 hours at most...I actually don't agree at all. It lasts me 7am until 9pm, flawlessly. Once, I even wore it to school all day, then to a party at night, then a sleepover, and then a 7-hour work shift the next morning. No touchups. (I don't recommend doing that or anything- just a busy weekend) I tried wearing it while surfing....the I own Even Better and Redness Solutions also by Clinique, but they're neglected in my makeup cabinet. I just love Acne Solution's matte finish and full coverage- no shiny-ness whatsoever. Yeaaah it's expensive, especially in Canada (or anywhere other than the US) but it's SO worth it.

I use this foundation about everyday I like how it's very easy to apply and even looking, but make sure you have the right shade or it can look kind of orange-ish. It didn't help my acne at all and I know other people who have used this and it didn't help their acne either, but it didn't break me out and i felt like I wasn't making my skin totally worse as if I were using some super cakey, full coverage, mac foundation or something. hope this helps overall i liked it but i can probably still find better!

probably not the best on the market

I had high hopes for this, since it was Clinique, but it really let me down I don't like foundation as it is, & it really wasn't want I expected. I bought it over 2 years ago & I didn't even finish it.

Medium coverage. Took me a couple of tries to get the colour right. I ended up with a shade number 4 but accidentally bought the 5 first time around. Really happy with it so far. Use it with a concealer brush. Makes a huge difference. I have tried a bunch of different cover ups but they either break me out or aren't enough coverage. This one seems to work pretty well.

I started this a few days ago, perfect for an everyday makeup, doesn't harm my skin. Stays reasonable well if you don't go rubbing your face on things, or touch it to much. My life depends on this stuff now! Worth every penny.

I have very fair skin. The Alabaster color is the lightest they have, and it although it isn't an EXACT match like Fit Me is-- it gives my skin color and life, and when I use a foundation brush (I used to use a sponge and it looked horrible) it applies easily and with some blending looks flawless. I have to do some blotting through the day (my skin is very oily, and Arizona summers are hot) and powder reapplication, but it lasts me from 7AM-10PM most days. I've used this for a year now, and every time I switch foundations my skin gets horrible cystic break outs. This is the only foundation my skin will tolerate. I've gone through four bottles and I'm going to stick with it. It's worth trying, at least getting the Clinique ladies to sample it for you at the counter. If you apply it well, this foundation is very nice.

This foundation attracted me due to the fact that it contains salicylic acid so I thought that it would be beneficial to treat and conceal at the same time. The colour match for my pale skin is really good and it remains that way and doesn't oxidise throughout the day to an orange colour. There is no way that I could wear this everyday though as it is far too drying for that. It really hurts when it dries up the skin around my eyes and cheeks as I have combination skin, maybe it would be ok if you were oily all over. Overall I'd say this would be a good foundation for oily skin that can tolerate the 2% salicylic acid in contact with it all day and the formula that is not moisturising at all. I use it over moisturiser and don't put it on my eye area. It also works great as a concealer :)
