Review: Clinique Foundation
Share:
Around 80% of 11-30 year olds in the UK suffer or have suffered from acne in the past. This statistic emphasizes why it is so important to select the right foundation for your skin – the ingredients can massively aid or worsen your skin.
The main ingredient of foundation that can drastically affect your skin is oil. Acne and spots are usually caused by an excess of oil and to add more oil to your face can have significant consequences. It is for this reason that we love Clinique foundation. Their foundation isn’t oil based, it’s water based, therefore eliminating the need to stress about how much oil is on your skin.
What’s better is that you can choose a foundation that is suited to your natural oil production. If you have very dry skin, you can choose a foundation that adds a slight shine to your face and there are matte foundations for those that feel they get too ‘shiny’. They use natural ingredients and all of their foundation is 100% fragrance free, meaning fewer chemicals are being put onto your face.
In terms of skin tone, their foundation is very flexible and they offer mixes of a few colours, meaning you can get your perfect shade, and not just the next best thing.
The foundation is reasonably priced for its high quality and also for how long it lasts. A few drops go such a long way, unlike other foundations where you have to use half a tube just to get an even coverage.
When you sign up to their updates at a Clinique counter, you receive a free gift every few months when you go back to purchase some more of their products. The free gifts aren’t just silly little lip balms either- it is usually a pretty make up bag or tin filled with goodies such as mascara, skin care products, eye shadows and lipsticks.
At the majority of Clinique counters, they have certified dermatologists on stand by to explain any skin queries and to show off their extensive range of products. This is so beneficial to anybody who needs to give their skin some extra love, as the dermatologists will always manage to scientifically back up why Clinique foundation is so much better for your skin and your complexion.
