I actually have a report question. The first part is how do I know what color of foundation I wear normally I would wear like a Merle Norman I wear a. Mary Kay I wear a beige I've also worn neutrals but I believe I'm a summer so I'm kind of like a medium light color with freckles and light brown hair. Thank you.

I always loved even better glow! Not sure why discontinue a product so good. So my question is what shade is best for me I wear cn52 in the even better glow in the winter month and cn70 in even better glow in the summer that is no longer available. I tried the cn70 in even better clinical and that is one of the worse products so disappointed. Im going to try this what color would I be?

- Official Answer By Clinique USIn Clinique Even Better Clinical Vitamin Makeup SPF 45, go with Light Medium Cool 4 which corresponds with CN 52 Neutral.

The very thing I was looking for!
I know folks often say they don't write reviews; I would count myself one of those people. But every once in a while a product comes along that overcomes my inherent laziness and I *have* to write something up. This is once such product. First, I'll say I was a long-ish time user of the Even Better...

Love the Skincare Benefits!

I was so excited to try it because it sounded like it would be so nourishing for my skin. I really like that the coverage is buildable and the way it feel...

I've been using the Clinique Even Better Clinical Vitamin Makeup for a few weeks now, and it's quickly become my go-to foundation. It has a silky, lightweight texture that blends effortlessly and gives my skin a natural, healthy glow. What makes it stand out is the skincare-level ingredients—vitamin C and other nourishing components really do make my skin look brighter and more even over time. The SPF 45 is a huge bonus, especially for daily wear, as I don't need to layer on a separate sunscreen. It doesn't feel greasy or heavy, and it wears beautifully throughout the day without caking or settling into fine lines. I also appreciate that it's fragrance-free and works well even on my slightly sensitive skin. Overall, it's the perfect multitasker—foundation, skincare, and sun protection in one. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a radiant finish with real skin benefits.
Tried to make it work but it's not for me

I was excited to try this. Checked with a Clinique consultant to make sure I ordered the correct shade. I normally wear the "linen08" shade Even Better "regular" foundation. This new product is definitely sheer. Somehow it actually made me look worse than not wearing anything on my face or even just regular sunscreen on my face. Also made my face look dry. I will say it did camouflage a couple small blemishes but also made look like I have dark circles under the eye when I don't? Weird. I could have probably worked with the under eye issue and the dry look issue (concealer and moisturizer side) but the final straw on this is it burns my eyes like crazy even though I was careful not to get it in my eyes. I gave it 4 attempts and every time it burned my eyes for over 13 hours after removing it. I love the packaging and the flexible shades and that it has vitamin C. But the burning eyes make it a no-go for me.

Love try it
Exactly what I was looking for!
I had been looking for a light-coverage moisturizer with SPF and skin benefits, and this is it! I use it after my Clinique moisture surge 100h, and the two pair beautifully. It's definitely water-based, so I think other reviews mentioning cakiness may be using it along with other products that don't pair well. The only con for me is the smell. It smells just like heavy sunscreen.
pretty for about 30 minutes.
I will say this foundation had a perfect shade match for me. it was very glowy and I thought I was going to love it. it broke me out terribly (I'm acne prone with dehydrated skin) and left my face feeling insanely oily but also extremely dry at the same time after about an hour of wear. it did not look how my skin felt though. it stayed looking as it did when I applied it (about 1.5 hours) and faded off pretty evenly. I think it could be good for a normal skin type and for a quick outing if you're not acne prone. I like that it doesn't smell funky.
