| Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation + Concealer |
The Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation and Concealer was a Sephora VIB purchase and my first Clinique foundation. I've been trying it for a few weeks and wanted to give you my thoughts. This full coverage foundation comes with a large doe foot applicator. If you're familiar with Tarte's Shape Tape, the applicator is very similar. It makes applying the foundation very easy. I'm able to apply a few swipes to each side of my face and blend it out. The applicator makes it very easy to apply. A little goes a long way with this foundation, it is a little on the thicker side. I like to spray my brush with a setting spray before buffing it out. Spraying your brush thins it out a bit. I also enjoying blending it out with a damp sponge. It doesn't feel too heavy on my skin which I was afraid of.
The foundation claims to be a foundation and concealer in one. If you're not looking to use concealer to highlight, this can really work. It covers my dark circles and doesn't crease under my eye. I do have to set this foundation both under my eyes and on my face since it does sink into the fine lines on my forehead but once I set it, it looks fine.
Overall, I really do like the coverage of this foundation. It doesn't look cakey and doesn't break up on my skin throughout the day. Again, a little goes a long way. I have normal to dry skin and this works well for me. I do apply my moisturizer and/or luminizing primer underneath. It's not a complete matte foundation, it does leave a little radiance to the skin. The doe foot applicator is a great addition.

I have oily skin so this wouldn't be for me but Clinique is such a good brand, isn't it? I always hear great things about their products. x

Oh I've heard about this foundation and generally like Clinique products but somehow this product never caught my attention. Since I'm always on the hunt for foundations, I'll have to give this one a try!

This sounds interesting. I have combination skin but this still might work for me, and I like the sound of the coverage and finish. x

I love foundations that don't feel cakey but I have a problem with those that define lines around my lips and eyes, this is my main problem when I try to find a good foundation. Glad it works and you are pleased with it!! xx

This looks really good, I will have to look this out as I have dry skin so this sounds like it could work well for me, thank you! xx

I just wish this foundation didn't highlight dry patches. I also feel like it never totally blends into my skin but it does give great coverage.

This foundation sounds great but having oily skin I try to stay away from dewy ones. Little dewiness is always welcome. When I plan on getting one I will check this one :-)
ReplyDeleteI saw a YouTuber test this recently, and I've been intrigued ever since because the coverage looked absolutely incredible! I may have to pick it up after Christmas, when I have a little money to myself.. 🙊

I own this foundation too! It has really good coverage and I agree a little goes a long way! It works well for my oily skin too!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a really good foundation and something that would work for me.
