Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation + Concealer First Impression - BeautyMindSpirit |
I did notice that the range didn't have a lot of options for fair skin. Also, it seemed a little limited in the darkest range as well. I am more pale than usual and I found that the lightest shade would've worked, but it had a more pink undertone and I needed a yellow one instead. So, I went a shade darker in Linen which had more of a neutral/yellow undertone. I am very happy with this color and it ended up working really well for me.

After 8 hours of wear time with Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation + Concealer |
I tested this foundation out for a total of 8 hours wear time. Closer to the 4-5 hour mark, my skin started to look oily. By hour 8, I was really oily. Granted, I did not use a mattifying primer or powder... so this is pretty normal for most foundations with my skin. Upon first impression, the foundation was nice, but it didn't blow my mind.
If you have dry to normal skin - use a heavier moisturizer and primer to prevent dry patches
If you have combination to oily skin - make sure to use a mattifying primer
**Since trying this foundation, I have used a different moisturizer and a mattifying primer. Not only that, but I found that mixing this foundation with Maybelline's Fit Me Matte + Poreless is my new favorite way to wear foundation. With Maybelline's extra pore coverage and lightweight texture... the two just work magic on the skin. I still apply using a damp beauty blender. I am LOVING them together and so in love with how my foundation looks.**
Overall, I like this foundation. I think it provides a pretty coverage to the skin. It gives me a full coverage with only one layer. It does a good job concealing my skin. I will continue to use this product!
