Clinique Even Better Foundation Review

Hi, 

have you been missing me?.. or not.. haha..

Today's review is from one of Clinique's product. Ah yes, i can sense you're smiling from here..

Clinique menurut aku adalah brand yang cukup unik. Seems like you have an high-end feels to their products. They provide such a good quality with a reasonable prices. This brand really suits those of you who just started out to try on higher end brands, or just want to play on a  'safe' brand. Maksudnya, kualitas Clinique cukup baik dan terkenal sebagai produk anti alergi dan sensitive-skin friendly, so this one is safe to played with. 

Another thing from Clinique is, I personally think that they have the most customer-friendly Counter Beauty Assistant. Udah bukan rahasia ya kadang-kadang BA di counter beauty products terkesan jutek, atau malas melayani pernyataan customer yang keliatannya cuma pengen coba-coba colek atau sekedar tanya-tanya. Setiap aku mampir counter Clinique, never had i experienced Mbak-mbak jutek di sana. Even ketika aku udah banyak coel-coel dan gajadi beli.. hehe.

Anyway, aku pake salah satu produk andalan mereka yaitu the legendary Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizer and i fell in love with it, ngga lama kemudian aku purchase produk lain dan pilihanku jatuh kepada Clinique Even Better Foundation. 

Have a look!

Clinique Even Better merupakan liquid foundation yang sebenarnya udah di release cukup lama dan udah banyak banget juga reviewnya di internet. Why people raved about it probably because it does delivered a good quality.

Packaging wise, Clinique Even Better ini cukup travel-friendly. Botol nya dari hard plastic, slim dan ringan. Design nya sleek dan meskipun botolnya terbuat dari plastik, sama sekali ngga keliatan murahan.

It is well known, kalau produk-produk Clinique selalu dermatoligist tested, allergy tested and 100% fragrance free. It contains SPF 15 PA++ and contains Vitamin C.

Klaim nya, Foundie ini dapat memberikan efek instant bright, meratakan warna kulit dan melindngi kulit dari efek buruk matahari.

Since this product doesn't come with a pump, i kinda worried at first. Tapi untungnya, foundie ini ngga akan berantakan karena untuk ngeluarin isinya kamu harus squeeze tube nya dengan lembut :)

1 squeezed em and here we go... This dot is actually can lightly cover half of my face. Teksturnya terlihat cair dan warnanya keliatan terlalu bright untuk kulit aku.

For the swatch, sangat mudah di blend, tapi menurut aku formula nya cukup cepet untuk ke set, jadi kita harus kerja cepat sebelum dia mengering. Kalau udah kering pun sebenrnya tetep bisa di blend, cuma lebih nyaman aja kan untuk meratakan foundie while it hasn't set yet..

Trick: Gunakan foundie ini perlahan dari satu area ke area berikutnya. Misalkan, dari bawah mata kanan, ke pipi kanan deka hidung, rahang kemudian dagu. Kemudian beralih ke sisi kiri and so on..

At first, I am afraid that it was too light for my skin tone, tapi ternyata nggak kok. Agak susah untuk menemukan warna yang matching buat kulit aku. I spent almost an hour on the Clinique's counter to pick the right shade! Daripada salah beli ya kannn. hahaha. Btw, I'm in 65 Neutral.

 Let's find out how it applied on me

Before applying, as usual i moisturized my face. But no primer so i can see how the foundie hold for them self. For this, I use only 4 drops of Clinique Even Better for the whole face and neck, and then set them with Rimmel Powder. It's pretty much enough to achieve a good-looking skin ;)

PROS

• Brightening effect
• Even skin tone
• Smooth application
• Naturally polished finish
• Doesn't flash back
• Not oily for hours on my skin (normal combination skin)
• It doesn't oxidize
• For dry skin, i guess you don't need to set them with powder
• It's buildable, yay!

CONS

• Still need a color corrector to demolish redness or bluish under eye circle (but hey, that's a concealer's job so pretty much that's fine.

Price

In Clinique's counter, IDR 390.000,-

Last Bite: 

I love this foundie, it's one of my favorite beauty purchase so far. When times getting hard (hot weather, long term make up needed), i knew i can rely on this one.

Stay Happy and Healthy!
