Even canvas for painting....that's what every woman wants to achieve all the time, thus the never ending search for the perfect foundation. Thanks to a beloved reader who reminded me about my Clinique review.. she wanted to know what other alternatives she can get since the discontinuance of the Clinique Superfit. ..and yes I have to reveal that I have found another note-worthy foundation from Clinique.

WHAT I DO NOT LOVE ABOUT THE PRODUCT

#be armed with an oil blotter ; well...it does not claim oil control anyway

FINAL THOUGHTS:

You can opt to use your fingers with this but for best results, stippling method it is and it will give you a natural looking skin. You may not like the way it blends on your skin when using your fingers as it may look pasty, thus will be streaky.

It may give you medium coverage but if you have blemishes concerns, expect to use your concealer. Advisable to use a primer underneath for more long wearing benefits. This would really fit as an everyday foundation, lightweight and does not give that dreaded cake on look. It gives that nice finish, not matte neither dewy.

If you have a lot of patience under the bag, use a foam for targeted coverage, I also find it easier to control when using the sponge. Put on your 2nd application and it's opaque. Think this would not really cost you an arm and leg, worth a shot if you want that natural looking skin all day. Natural yes, but flawless? No.

Also, you can get the last squeeze of foundie from this bottle. When it's down to the last squeeze/drop, bloody hell, by all means cut it! :) Make your money truly worth it! Think that's their edge over other bottled foundations huh.
