Clinique Almost Makeup SPF 15

Clinique Almost Makeup SPF15 is a sheer alternative to foundation. It's somewhere between foundation and tinted moisturiser in terms of coverage and benefits. You can get it from Clinique counters in department stores, or online, so it's usually easy to find. It comes in 4 different shades from 'Fair' through to 'Deep', and it costs £18.50 for a 45ml tube. It contains SPF15 non-chemical sunscreens and Antioxidants, to protect your skin from environmental damage. It's oil-free, non-acnegenic and non-comedogenic, as well as being ophthalmologist tested, so it's safe for use on all skin types, and around the delicate eye area. It's a waterproof formula for long ...  Read the complete review

It wouldn't be unfair to say that I'm a bit of a guy in disguise - I live in jeans, read (and watch) science fiction, have never understood the cult of celebrity, don't watch reality TV, and, more to the point, rarely wear make up. Oh, I occasionally use cover up (as I'm a terrible picker, and can never leave a spot alone), but don't often go the full foundation-to-mascara route. However, I have recently been attending job interviews, and so have piled the slap on (ok, that's a slight exaggeration) in my quest to impress. Therefore, the first thing I apply is foundation. Because I'm not much of a make-up wearer, I don't want a heavy foundation - I ...  Read the complete review

I have never got on well with foundations as I find I can never blend it properly and they feel too heavy on my skin. I started to use Clinique Almost Makeup after discovering the 3 step skin care range, and I highly rate it. It's basically a little heavier than tinted moisturiser but gives more coverage than ones I've used in the past, it blends in really nicely and the colour is perfect (I'm very pale and find even the lightest shade in most makeup ranges come out orange on me!). It comes in 6 shades ranging from very fair to deep (for olive skin) and is available from department stores like Debenhams and House of Fraser. I really like that it stands on the ...  Read the complete review

Trying to find a suitable foundation for me is an absolute nightmare! I have very dry skin which needs constant moisturising. I was looking for a foundation in Boots when I stumbled upon this product which is somewhere in between a tinted moisturiser and a foundation...perfect for me! Despite having reasonably fair skin, I opted for shade Medium 03. However, it comes in several shades ranging from Fair to Deep, for olive type skin. It comes in a 45ml plastic, squeezy bottle which is very useable. The consistency of this foundation is great. Its light, silky smooth and really easy to apply and move over the skin. Coverage is surprisingly good and it managed to cover fine ...  Read the complete review

I highly rate this foundation. For years I have struggled to find a foundation that was good for sensitive skin. Clinique's Almost Make-up foundation is chemical and oil free, so not only is it ok for sensitive skin it also feels like you are not wearing any foundation at all. It is a liquid foundation that once applied blends into your skin and is so light you forget you are wearing it. It comes in a wide range of shades and even contains SPF 15 sun block. So not only do you get a natural cover but also skin protection. You can buy this product from retailers such as boots for around £19 for a 45ml bottle. If you do opt for this option Clinique ...  Read the complete review
