"I would and have highly recommend Clinique products. I have worn and purchased them for some 20 plus years and would never entertain buying another brand."

Recommend !

April 18, 2013
"I hardly ever use liquid foundation until I got a sample of this at the makeup counter and tried it at home! I love, love, love it! I just had to purchase it when I ran out of my sample! It feels light on my face and has good coverage. This has become a "must have" of mine!"

Great Purchase!

April 17, 2013
"I have EXTREMELY oily skin and this makeup is flawless! I live in a low humidity climate but visited the South the first weekend after purchasing this product. It was amazing and I didn't have to run to the bathroom to blot off the excess oil with this makeup. Again, I have very oily skin so this was an amazing bonus. My skin looks flawless and even and most importantly there is NO shine as I've experienced with more costly foundations!"

So happy!

January 22, 2013
"My skin is oily combination so I really like this makeup. It is lightweight, oil-free, and helps to control oil. It is also great because when I perspire or my T-zone starts to get oily, you can hardly tell. No longer need oil absorbing papers. It has a nice matte finish and stays looking matte throughout the day. My touch ups are less frequent than when I use other oil free makeups."

Great foundation!

December 15, 2012
"This goes on silky smooth- does not cause acne, covers well- only problem is no SPF. I'm a former Prescriptives Foundation user- oil control satin matt, SPF 15, oil free-- RIP! This foundation comes very close- I will use sunscreen under this."

Excellent makeup for oily combination-very oily skin

November 10, 2012
"My skin is oily combination so I really like this makeup. It is lightweight, oil-free, and helps to control oil. It is also great because when I perspire or my T-zone starts to get oily, the droplets actually penetrate through the foundation instead of breaking it apart (creating that muddy look). It has a nice matte finish and stays looking matte throughout the day. My touch ups are less frequent than when I use other oil free makeups."

Works and Feels GREAT!

October 25, 2012
"I have a very oily T-zone and usually find myself using blotting papers several times a day to avoid that embarrassing oil slick in the middle of my face, since using this I only blot ONCE a day, which is HUGE for me! The coverage is sheer (more like a BB creme or tinted moisturizer) but it blends well with any concealer. It makes skin feel firm and make up stays on all day long..which is a bonus! Totally LOVE it, will definitely purchase again!!"

No more shine

October 15, 2012
"This foundation really controls the shine on my t-zone areas all day. However, the formula is very light so it provides very little coverage to conceal any imperfections. It feels more like a tinted moisturizer. Also, I was not able to find a shade that would blend with my skin tone. I bought 08 Golden Neutral but this shade made my complexion looked muddy yellow/orange, dull and lifeless. I also tested other shades in the store but they were either too light or too pink.
This product is great if you are the lucky few with no problem finding a shade that matches with your skin tone."

I liked it but ...

September 20, 2012
"I liked it but it wasn't coverage well, it feels nice on a regular day basis. I want it more coverage for night out or the make up stay longer. But no... if you like the nature look and the feel of it this is a product for you.
I"m going back to the acne solutions, a little bit more coverage it keeps the make up stay on longer and oil free. =)

Should be called "For Real"

July 27, 2012
"I have never found a makeup that made me feel free from the T-Zone Oil Bondage that I have been under since I was 13. This makeup is UNBELIEVABLE, I no longer have a T Zone oil zone to blot. My makeup doen't look like it is floating away. I feel For Real, I don't have to do a thing when I go to check my makeup four hours after application. This is even better than anticipated. Thank you Clinique for the best makeup ever made. Clinique Rocks!"

Very Pleased

July 25, 2012
""This foundation gives great coverage. It can be adjusted from sheer to medium. The woman at the counter advised me to use a makeup wedge and PAT the foundation on rather than spreading it with my fingers or a sponge. Using that method, I achieve a flawless, airbrushed look. It is lightweight and still looks freshly applied 10 hours later. And, what I really love is that it matches my complexion perfectly. I am african american with medium dark skin and this is the first foundation that I have bought that did not require me to buy 2 different shades and try to blend to get the perfect color, or to settle with an alright color, but not perfect shade.""

AWESOME product!

May 22, 2012
"I have 'problem' skin, with frequent breakouts, but I am in my mid 30's so I still have combination skin that can get dried out in areas easily. This makeup is perfect! Great coverage, skin looks way less 'oily' in t-zone areas, and it is long-lasting. Best makeup I've found by far. Also highly recommend Clinique 3-step skin care system, and the dark spot correctors...worth the money!"

Love how this feels

May 11, 2012
"Ok so first off this is the type of foundation where you need to see the colors in store. I am a medium slightly olive skintone with yellow undertone but generally go for neutral foundations. The shades I originally thought I would be were Vanilla or Beige. When I saw them in store, they were too dark and pink. I got Golden Neutral and its the perfect color, just the right amount of yellow. And its also clarified as a moderately fair golden shade (MF-G) and im always medium so i think their shades are lighter/ its not your typical matte foundation, it has a gel cream consistency and is a light-medium cvg, possibly build-able. It gives you the most natural finish and I paired this with the almost powder in deep (which runs lighter as well). It lasted for about 6-7 hours without any shine and I get oily around my nose and sometimes chin. But this gives a glow rather than too dewy."

May 7, 2012
"Okay so its almost summer time pretty much and my face is about to become a complete meltdown. I bought this foundation and now I don't have to worry anymore its so perfect for my skin type I'm super oily and this makeup clears it. I love this its oil free, it doesn't feel heavy at all and its matte!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited to buy more I was hesitant to buy because I wasn't sure if I was going to like it so I took the risk and fell head over heels!! If you want a product to last on your face and give you the perfect matte face with no flaws or oily skin buy buy buy !!!!!"
