When it comes to foundation, figuring out which one is the best fit for you can take time. After several years of using one type of foundation, reader Nikisix has a new favorite, calling Clinique Superbalanced Makeup ($20.50) a foundation with "elegant texture." Here's what else she had to say:
I just bought this makeup after using mineral powders for four years. I wasn't feeling the cakey look I was getting with the minerals and wanted to feel more dewy. So far, so good. It gives natural, nice coverage while making my skin feel silky smooth. I stopped using liquid makeup because I didn't like the aftermath of it on my clothes and hands, but this product is beautiful and light and doesn't leave any unwanted stains.

This has been a fav. of mine for years!
1I always wondered if this was any good...I love Clinique products, but haven't tried any of their foundations.
I too do not care for the "cakey" look that mineral makeup can give at the end of the day. I have dry skin and I prefer a more dewy finish too. Maybe I'll check this out
2Cakey? What kind did you use? I use BE in the summer and in winter just as concealer and it sits well on my skin, very light.
Clinique foundations I've used in the past were a little too "soupy" for me and the coverage was eh, you're better off just going with concealer where you need it and leave the rest of your face bare.
3It's BE that I've used...I just find that it gets this chalky, cakey look sometimes. That's why I don't like their foundation. My skin is just too dry for mineral makeup, I've found.
4That stinks.
At least you still have their lip products!
5Oh yeah! I love all their other products...it's a great cosmetic line! Just the foundation isn't right for my dry skin.
6Thanks for posting my review!
7I absolutely hate this foundation, it gave me horrible cystic acne that took at least 4 months to clear up completly.
8I've been looking for a "dewy" foundation for a while. Everything that I've picked up so far I find melts away way to quickly, is too oily or way too messy on clothes. I've been eying Clinque's foundations for a couple of weeks now but have only really heard sales pitches from the sale girls. But now that I have a decent review from a decent site...definitely going to check it out
thanks!
9I just bought this on Monday! Hasn't tried it yet... but when the girl put on my face in Selfridges I liked the texture. My skin was getting really dry this winter, so my Maybelline foundation was drying my face out. Need to buy a brush from Body shop and i'm ready to get into Clinique goodness
