Review 1 for Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup
NOT a nighttime foundation
-05.22.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free
I purchased this foundation with the intention of using it for nights out since there was no indication of an SPF in it. However, though I love the foundation itself, I found that it really made my face STARK WHITE in photographs when I wore it. I'm not sure why it happened, but I will be trying to return it.

Review 2 for Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup
Good but not Great
-05.20.13
Quick Take: long wearing, oil-free
I love Clinique products but I would say I am not 100% satisfied with this one because it is suppose to be matte and yet on my skin it still leaves my forehead a little shiny. Other than that, it lasts a long time. Doesn't feel cakey. Sheer-Medium coverage.

Review 4 for Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup
light full coverage foundation
-05.17.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free
I'm just getting back into using foundations and I love this one. It's light on my skin and it's full coverage. Stays matte for most of the day and it looks very natural. I will be repurchasing for sure and it makes me want to check out other clinique products. I like this better than any mac liquid foundation i've ever tried (mac pro longwear)

Review 5 for Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup
Amazing!
-05.15.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing, oil-free, sets quickly, matte
I love this foundation! It stays on all day with a primer, and it give so much coverage with one layer of it. It does set a bit quickly, but it shouldn't be a problem if you work fast enough.

Review 6 for Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup
Best Clinique Foundation Ever!
-05.14.13
Quick Take: long wearing, oil-free
I am super impressed with this foundation from Clinique. I'm usually not a fan of their foundations, but having oily skin I just had to give this a try. The ONLY downside to this foundation, is it's not easy for me to find a good color match. I can make due with it, but it's not perfect. Other than that, this foundation is great! It gives a light to medium coverage, beautiful matte finish, controls oil for most of the day, looks fresh all day, long wearing, and photographs nicely. I really like this and definitely recommend it for an oily skin type! Great price too!

Review 9 for Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup
Not too shabby
-05.06.13
Quick Take: oil-free
I like this foundation because when i was going through a foundation crisis...this foundation saved my life by matching my skin....I hate blending my foundation to my neck and with this baby i didn't have to do it....is it matte...not necessary...i give this foundation about a good two to five hours depending on the weather for this foundation to stay matte...the price is a little iffy...I've had better cheaper foundation, but on the other hand this foundation does not harm my skin so i guess the price is reasonable...

Review 10 for Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup
Great for oily skin!
-05.05.13
Quick Take: long wearing, oil-free
This is an amazing foundation! I have a very hard time finding foundations that don't break me out, cover up everything, and last all day as I have very oily skin. I use it with the translucent power and I get compliments on how amazing my skin looks! 100% recommend for those with oily skin!

Review 11 for Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup
I LOVE IT!
-05.05.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage, long wearing
Stays on my face, doesn't make my face oily IF I applied a setting powder, & foundation shade matches my skin perfectly. Still have some cons, example. If face isn't moisturize well, it will show dry patches. But I will still be purchasing this product!

Review 12 for Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup
Pretty good
-05.04.13
Quick Take: long wearing, oil-free
I actually like the formula on this. It stays relatively matte and stays put for at lest 6 hours. What I don't like is that I've been finding it tends to settle into creases (like, for instance, if I smile) even after I set it with powder. Not always, and not a lot where it's VERY noticeable, but I notice. Color wise, I wish there were more shades and that there were neutral undertones in the series. I was stuck between the two lightest shades (01 and 02) and went for the warm one, but it can sometimes look a tiny bit orange.

I have combination oily skin and this foundation has help control that. I work in retail so I'm always running around and this foundation did not budge. I been using it for over a month and I love it. Definitely ideal for oily to oily combination skin types.

Review 15 for Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup
Perfection
-05.03.13
Quick Take: oil-free, full coverage, beauty blender, $23
I can't even explain how much i LOVE this foundation. First of all if you like the "MATTE" look you will love this. I have very DRYskin but i do sometimes get OILY in my T-zone. At first i didnt want to purchase this since i thought it was oily skin only and sometimes when you buy a matte foundation and you have dry skin it can look flacky or cake-y. I was recommended to use it with a BEAUTY BLENDER and i have been ever since. I like the great color selection and the PRICE. I love that is FULL COVERAGE the most. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product.

Review 16 for Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup
No change...
-05.03.13
I bought this expecting to have wonderful results. Having been a Clinique customer in the past I have been impressed with their product line, until this. I have VERY oily skin and I found it did nothing for my oily skin. Slides off my face within no time. Will not be buying this again.

Review 17 for Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup
-05.02.13
Quick Take: buildable coverage
I was not a fan of this product at all. I have extremely oily skin and this definitely didn't keep me matte all day like it promised. I even paired it with the Stay-Matte powder and a mattifying primer, and still no justice. I'm also very pale and even with the lightest shade, I still felt it was very orange for me. It does blend well though and give decent coverage, so for that I will give 2 stars.
