Review 1 for Superbalanced Makeup
light coverage
-05.17.13
Quick Take: light coverage
I have oily skin and post-acne marks. The color is really nice and natural looking, but it doesn't have the coverage I was looking for, considering the redness and quantity of my post-acne marks. I find that I have to layer on a powder foundation in order to get the amount of coverage I need. If you have these skin concerns as well, I found I had more success with Clinique's Acne Solutions liquid foundation. The coverage is better and the finish is more matte. It didn't clear my acne, but it definitely helped hide the acne marks.

Review 2 for Superbalanced Makeup
It's Ok...
-05.14.13
This foundation is a Clinique classic, I know. It's not a bad foundation, definitely not my least favorite. This gives a medium coverage, natural finish, and is very silky and easy to blend. As with all other Clinique foundations, I find the shades to be very orange on me, but I can make the shade Breeze work for me. This would be best for a combination skin type, if you're super oily I don't recommend it (try Clinique's Stay Matte Foundation instead). Overall, this is a decent foundation for the right skin type, as long as you can find a good shade match.

Just Ok . . .

Quick Take: oil-free
First I had trouble finding the correct shade. I recommend going to a clinique store and getting help in selecting the correct shade.
Coverage....ok.
Oil-free, is a must.

I tried this foundation 3 years ago and I have been using it ever since! It provides amazing coverage with an all-natural look. I recommend this make-up to anyone who has combination skin.

Good foundation just really hard to get out of the bottle. If it had been in a squeeze tube I probably would have purchased again.

Review 8 for Superbalanced Makeup
Good foundation
-04.10.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, oil-free
This foundation isn't anything amazing, but it does the job. Light-moderate coverage. Sadly, I am extremely fair and most of Clinique's foundations (including this one) do not come in a shade light enough for me. I also find that this foundation oxides slightly on my skin after about an hour. I don't really think it helps to keep my skin matte, but it doesn't dry my skin out either.

Review 9 for Superbalanced Makeup
Finally found my foundation
-04.08.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing
This is my 2nd time using/purchasing this product and I couldn't be more pleased. It's not the lightest, but it doesn't feel too heavy once it's on. The only thing that really matters is that it doesn't make me breakout and smooths out a lot of scars and redness. It's also so reasonably priced- couldn't ask for better.

Review 10 for Superbalanced Makeup
Good for Sensitive Skin
-04.08.13
I love that Clinique offers a sunscreen-free product. I'm highly allergic to most sunscreens and this product doesn't cause reactions. I'd love it to be more moisturizing but will settle for it to not be drying. Coverage is light so doesn't always cover red spots when I am battling reactions, but then it doesn't make those claims. Now that I've found something that doesn't aggregavate my skin problems, I hope they don't change the formula. Thanks Sephora, for letting me try it before I bought it. Thanks Clinique for skipping the sunscreen in this product.

Review 11 for Superbalanced Makeup
New Favorite!
-04.03.13
This is one of the best foundations I have tried yet! It absorbs oil in areas where your face is normally shiny, plus it adds moisture in the areas where you are dry. Basically it's awesome, when I use it I get medium to full coverage, then I dust a little powder on and it last like 6 hours on me personally.

Review 12 for Superbalanced Makeup
just the right shade
-04.02.13
Quick Take: great for combo skin
Coverage is good and it's just the right shade for my moderately fair skin tone. for a more "flawless" opaque look, i was shown how to apply the product with a makeup brush. apply in a circular motion. the makeup artists at sephora are excellent and found me the right shade.

Review 15 for Superbalanced Makeup
Not my favorite, but decent
-03.14.13
I have the worlds oiliest skin, and this is usually my winter foundation. Its not the best by any means, I usually need to blot within 3-4 hours max. I can get really oily, but it never slides off my face. I don't think it really controls oil or adds moisture. The coverage and finish is very natural. It also doesn't feel heavy on your skin. This is probably best for combo/normal skin. I'm about an NC30 and I'm the shade Nude Beige 34.

Review 17 for Superbalanced Makeup
Perfect foundation
-03.06.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free, natural looking
I love this foundation! I have combination skin & it keeps my skin looking great providing great coverage & natural looking. I have tried many foundations too & this one is my favorite. I'm not into the heavy foundations and have even stop using them and was using tinted moisturizers because I didnt like the feeling of wearing makeup. Recently I needed a little bit more coverage and someone recommend this one so I tried and so glad I did. I apply this with my fingers and get great coverage. I don't like applying with a brush because it goes on thicker.

Review 19 for Superbalanced Makeup
Smooth
-03.04.13
This is my first expensive foundation (versus drugstore foundations like Covergirl) and I'm pleased at how smooth it applies to the skin. It's not very thick because it doesn't cover the small blue veins on my face. But I like it.

Review 20 for Superbalanced Makeup
Not Impressed
-03.01.13
I expected this foundation to be a lot better than it is. When you first apply it, the foundation looks great. A few hours later I can see all my dry patches on my skin and the coverage begins to wear off. Also makes your skin feel oily halfway through the day.
