3/5 Stars
Cost: $30
I found this product as I was on the hunt for a new foundation. I wanted something that would cover my acne without making it worse. A worker at Ulta suggested I try this product. The Clinique foundation with salicylic acid was too dark for my pale face, but this product would offer more color options. The product is simply blended with moisturizer and put on the face. I found this idea inventive so I was excited to try it out.
To use this product, you shake the bottle and add up to three drops of product depending on how much coverage you would like. You mix the drops in with a moisturizer and apply to the face. I enjoyed the ease of this product and that it kept my skin moisturized. The color did match my pale skin tone. Unfortunately, this product does not have a lot of coverage for acne prone skin. I had to apply extra concealer to all of my acne, which caused me to use up a lot of concealer, a lot of the BIY product, and a lot of moisturizer. Also, I found that this product did not work well with Clinique's moisturizing lotion. If put on too thick, the product will slough off and become flaky. I had the best luck when using this product with a tea tree oil based lotion.
Overall, I recommend this product to individuals looking for a customizable tinted moisturizer. If I did not have such acne prone skin, I would love this product because of its flexibility. Unfortunately, it was not meeting my skin care needs. This product does not work as foundation with full coverage. It goes on much like a BB cream. Also, this product is fairly expensive for how little is in the bottle. If you plan on using three drops every time for full coverage, you will go through the product quickly. I do applaud Clinique for their creativity and I do believe this product would be great for some individuals. As for me, I will go back to a thicker foundation.
