Buildable coverage glides on as a cream, then
turns into a silky powder. Imparts a soft, matte finish
and also defends against environmental damage. Oil-free. Long-wearing.

Best foundation I've ever found- 10.23.09
Quick Take: oil-free, long wearing, matte great coverage
Love this! Matte finish, fills in pores. SPF 15, Easy to apply. Long lasting. I believe Clinique has stopped making it and I'm sad! Have worn it for 13 years!

Perfect shade- 09.26.09
Quick Take: oil-free, long wearing, cream to powder
Only once in a while do you find a perfect shade of foundation that matches your skin tone precisely and Soft vanilla was just that.
I would have given this product 5 stars if the foundation hadn't been so minimal.

Great coverage- 08.22.09
Quick Take: oil-free, long wearing, cream to powder
I have some light brown spots on my face that make me self-conscious and have been looking for a product that 1) covers the spots; 2) isn't greasy; and 3) doesn't poof by noon. Until recently, I swore by ID Minerals but this product is way quicker to put on and has staying power.

This is the only cream foundatiion my skin can handle. All the other ones I've tried make me break out. It's light, yet it provides full coverage...no need for concealer!

Wonderful- 08.17.09
Quick Take: oil-free, long wearing, cream to powder
I have been using this foundation since I was in high school, believe it or not. I never switched out this product because they always have a color that matches my skin no matter what season it is. The product goes on so easily and smoothly. After using a primer, I just use my right hand ring finger to put it on the areas that I need, whether it be my whole face or just a little bit of it. The product is not oily at all because it does turn into a powder. I really do like how this product is "re-touchable" when it needs to be. I just use my finger to re-touch certain spots and it does not leave any discolorations or blotchy spots. I have combo skin and it lasts a pretty long time in the more oily areas. I usually set this foundation with powder (although it does turn into a powder) for more coverage. The only thing I'd change however is the container; a little on the big side. I wished this foundation had refillable compacts so that 1) I dont waste the pretty cases and 2) Carry the refillable compacts by itself to save space.

Ivory Bisque is darker than I thought it would be, I wish I would have ordered a shade lighter but the make up is very nice and covers well and it goes on easily. Buildable coverage lets me add more to places that I need to cover more w/o having to add more to my entire face -

Okay for me may be very good for you- 07.04.09
Quick Take: oil-free, cream to powder
This foundation is creamy and easy to blend. It looks good for a few hours on my oily combinations skin. I think someone with less oily skin would benefit from this product. Also a little goes a long way.

Best Makeup EVER!- 06.18.09
Quick Take: long wearing, cream to powder, very convenient and portable, the best of both worlds
This has been my foundation for YEARS and it has never let me down. Looks super-natural, not too thick. And the application is soooo convenient. Goes on like a foundation, but dries to a powder finish-- but not too dry. It still allows for a "natural" looking glow, unlike a powder. It's truly the best of both worlds, and super portable, unlike bottle foundations, which require a separate applicator or brush. I don't know what I'll do if Clinique ever discontinues this formula! (And it has SPF 15 protection built in.)

Timeless- 05.23.09
Quick Take: oil-free, long wearing, cream to powder
I've used this for years. Clinique has been with me since high school it's an amazing line, it has amazing products and it truly was made with oily skin in mind. Love this foundation and the other countless products that still get me through. Always will love this line.

Love the City Base Compact Foundation- 05.04.09
Quick Take: oil-free, long wearing, cream to powder
This is very long wearing. It stays on until you take it off. The colors do run light, but I really just want a hint of color anyway.
