I know folks often say they don't write reviews; I would count myself one of those people.

Love the Skincare Benefits!
I received this product free of charge in exchange for my unbiased review. I absolutely love that this is a vitamin-rich foundation with SPF 45! 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...

Awful Colors.

Would not order again. The shades are awful. Did camera on line. Recommend light cool 1. Very light was sent light warm 1. Again to light. Ordered light medium warm 2. Looks like I have yellow skin. Very frustrating really better look at the shades before you order. Have used these products for years. This one is not a keeper at all. Would give zero stars if I could.
High SPF with no white cast

I think this is an okay foundation. I didn't really notice any real improvement in my skin for the vitamins. The coverage is light to medium. There is no scent on the product and I really love the packaging with the pump. The finish is satin, which is nice but I personally prefer something more glowy. SPF 45 is incredible and there is no white cast and it doesn't smell like sunscreen.

Even Better Clinical Vitamin C Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 45 offers impressive sun protection while delivering skincare benefits. Its broad spectrum formula shields the skin from harmful UVA/UVB rays, making it ideal for daily wear. The ingredients include Vitamin C, which helps brighten and improve skin tone over time. It provides medium to full coverage that looks natural without feeling heavy. The finish is smooth and slightly radiant, perfect for a healthy glow. Overall, it's a great multitasking foundation for both coverage and sun care.

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 Glow foundation (CN28 Ivory) and, like many others, was very disappointed when it was discontinued. I managed to limp along for a little while, using what sparing amounts I could find in my travel and overnight kits. The past year or so, I've started looking more and more seriously for a foundation alternative, like a BB cream or tinted moisturizer. For a while I used the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing BB-Gel as foundation and *loved* it, but again - say it with me - discontinued. A couple of weeks ago, I was looking for some new eyeshadow and saw a pop-up about this product. Against my better judgement, I chatted with a customer service rep about what color would suit me best based on past orders, and placed an order for Light Medium Cool 1. At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, this product blew my expectations out of the water. I did a swatch test in the sunlight, and the product seems to have the tiniest bit of shimmer. Not Edward-Cullen-on-a-Sunny-Day, but just enough to create the impression of a youthful, dewy glow. I would say the coverage is light to medium; it feels and applies more like a moisturizer on my skin (but it *is* somewhat buildable). I'm pushing 50, and one of the best things about this foundation so far is that it doesn't settle into my fine lines or leave my skin feeling dry; if anything, it's *better* than Even Better Glow (for me, at least, and at this stage of my life). I also *love* that it offers such a high SPF, *without* making my skin feel sticky or oily. Please, for the love of Pete, don't discontinue this product, Clinique!
Beautiful packaging

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is a beautifully packaged foundation from Estee Lauder. I like that it has spf. The pump dispenser is a helpful feature. The foundation is smooth and light.
