Hey everyone, welcome to Beautyistic! If you’ve been on the hunt for a foundation that claims to do it all – from concealing blemishes to offering full coverage without the heavy feel – you’re in the right place. Today, we’re talking about the Clinique Beyond Perfecting Liquid Foundation + Concealer.
Now, first off, this product promises a lot. It’s not just a foundation but a full-coverage concealer in one, designed specifically for those with dry to oily skin. It boasts a natural finish and is tailored for a wide range of skin types, from very dry to oily. But, is it all it’s cracked up to be? Let’s find out.
The Clinique Beyond Perfecting Liquid Foundation comes in a liquid form, which feels lightweight as you apply it. The shade we’re looking at today is BE Alabaster CN 10 – a very light, neutral-toned color, perfect for fair to light skin tones. When it comes to the formula, Clinique really nailed the texture; it’s smooth, not too thick, and doesn’t leave any residue. The foundation blends seamlessly into the skin, offering coverage that you can build from medium to full without it looking cakey.
Now, let’s talk about the real-world experience. I tried this foundation on multiple occasions, from everyday wear to longer events. It applies easily, and once on, it stays put for hours. It didn’t oxidize, which is always a plus. The best part is how it feels – it doesn’t dry out the skin or feel too heavy, even for those who have dry patches like myself. The moisturizing aspect? It’s there. My skin felt hydrated throughout the day, and I didn’t experience any tightness. However, for anyone with very oily skin, I could see this foundation leaning a bit too hydrating, so you might want to set it with a powder for longer wear.
One thing that stands out about this product is its versatility. I didn’t feel the need for an additional concealer – it really covers everything from redness to dark circles. The finish is natural, so you get that glowy, healthy look without being overly dewy.
But, no product is without its drawbacks. While this foundation did an amazing job at covering my imperfections, I did notice that it can accentuate fine lines, especially if you apply too much in certain areas. A light hand is key. The packaging, although functional with its pump, isn’t the most travel-friendly as it’s on the bulkier side. But, that’s a minor issue compared to the foundation’s performance.
So, is it worth the price? Considering the full coverage and dual function as both a foundation and concealer, I think it’s a fair price point. Especially for those who struggle with dry patches, this could become your go-to for a natural, flawless look.
In terms of alternatives, if you’re looking for something a bit more budget-friendly but still with great coverage, I’d recommend checking out some drugstore foundations that offer similar coverage and a natural finish. But, in terms of high-end foundations, Clinique definitely holds its own in the performance department.
Now, do I think this is the best foundation out there? For those with dry skin or those looking for a natural yet full-coverage finish, yes. It ticks all the boxes. But, if you’re looking for something matte or have very oily skin, this may not be your ideal match.
