Clinique Even Better Glow Foundation | Review

Hey everyone, well; I guess here we are in Lockdown for at least another 3 weeks. It’s crazy! I hope you’re all coping okay with it all and staying safe. Lets hope we can go back to some kind of normal in not TOO long. I’ve been meaning to speak about the Clinique Even Better Glow foundation in more depth for a while now (since mentioning in it in my New To My Collection | Makeup post), and I am finally getting round to it!

OVERVIEW
Clinique claim that their Even Better Glow ‘Light Reflecting Makeup’ works for all skin types, will even out tone in a natural way and add glow and natural radiance. They say that the lightweight fluid gives skin a luminous finish.

Even Better Glow contains Vitamin C and E to create a brighter, even looking skin tone. It also contains SPF 15.

‘Stay true pigments won’t change colour on your skin, for flawless, undetectable coverage. Non streaking, non setting… sweat and humidity resistant.’

30ml will cost you £28.50 which I think is a reasonable price for a high end brand such as Clinique.

The packaging is quite unusual for a foundation – it is an oval shape squeezy bottle. I like this since the foundation is thin in consistency, so I think it works better with a squeezy bottle than a pump in this instance. It also comes in a box detailed with the usual Clinique pattern.

The shade range isn’t amazing unfortunately, I luckily found a decent match for myself.

REVIEW
I first tried the Even Better Glow foundation from Clinique a while ago now; I was given a sample after my friend recommended it. Even though I wasn’t expecting too, I really liked it, so I decided to choose it in my next makeup allocation from work (I work at Boots).
The reason I wasn’t really expecting to fall in love with Even Better Glow is that I usually a prefer something full coverage and thick. This foundation is a light to medium cover, and thin.
I like to apply this with a buffer brush, using a sponge soaks up too much of the product. It doesn’t streak and it is super easy to build and layer up.
This achieves a medium coverage very easily, it actually provides way more coverage than I expected! I like to pair it with a full coverage concealer (usually Too Faced Born This Way). I love how flawless my skin looks with this foundation on, it really evens the tone and doesn’t cling or emphasise any texture at all. It gives a lovely luminous dewy finish, which is ideal for me.
I definitely have to set this foundation, particularly if the weather is hot, but so long as I set it, it stays looking nice a long time, a luminous glow still able to peak through. I can get a full days wear out of this before it starts to fade.
It feels so lightweight and comfortable to wear, which is why I am loving it for Spring/Summer.

If you struggle finding a foundation that works well on dry skin, that won’t cling to patches, or look matte and flat, then I really recommend Clinique Even Better Glow. I am shocked at how much I love this! Surprisingly, I prefer this to Clinique’s full coverage foundation – Beyond Perfecting (which I actually quite like too).

Overall, I adore this foundation! Have you tried this?

Thanks for stopping by!
