So, let me introduce you to the motley crew... this is their 'before, before' photo ... basically what they would normally look like all glammed up.
Here we have Haley, my niece. Her mamma and my sister, Helen, and my other sister, Margaret. Haley is 23 ... as for Helen and Margaret ... well, they're old enough for me to keep their ages secret lets put it that way! ;)
First of all, we tried the foundation on Haley. Haley has quite prominent acne scars and oily skin, she hoped the foundation would smooth out her complexion and disguise her scarring.
As you can see, the scarring mainly affects Haley's cheeks, which isn't great for her profile. You can see the difference this foundation has made to Haley's skin from the before and after shots. Her skin looks much smoother and although her scarring is not completely hidden, they are appear much more subtle. The formula was great for Haley's oily skin type, creating a radiant yet matte finish.
Haley felt the foundation although appeared thick and felt heavier to touch than her usual foundation, she admitted it was very lightweight on her skin. She was over the moon with the results of it covering her scars and it blended beautifully over her skin. The finished result was beautiful on Haley's skin, her skin went from tired and dull to fresh and glowing. A happy customer.
Next up was Haley's mum, Helen. Helen's skin appeared more dry. Normally, she wears very little or a very light foundation so this was something quite different for Helen to try. It was slightly harder to blend over Helen's skin and we found that it settled in the creases of her skin, no matter how much we blended. The end result wasn't too bad though but we both agreed that Helen suits a much lighter dewy foundation.
Finally, Margaret tried the foundation. Margaret has normal/combination skin and the clinique anti blemish blended like a dream over it. Again, Margaret normally wears a lighter foundation but even she loved the result. Her skin appeared much smoother and radiant without the foundation looking cakey.In conclusion, we have 2 out of 3 happy customers... plus one if you include me. I have worn this foundation everyday and I am more than happy with it.
Clinique anti-blemish solutions foundation is £20 and available to buy now. I am going through mine so fast, it looks like I will be picking up a new one soon!

ReplyDeleteReally interesting! I can't justify buying any more foundations at the minute but will definitely bear this one in mind x
ReplyDeleteHow well does it last? Would it get through a hot tube ride and a sweaty day of work, for example?
ReplyDeleteEveryone looks so beautiful! I'm wanting this foundation more and more every time you mention it, it looks beautiful on! xox
ReplyDelete@Kerry I applied Estee Lauder Blonde Mink from the Michael Kors collection on Haleys eyes along with BB Gel Liner in Caviar. Her lips are Barry M's Peachy Pink (147) with some No.17 Coral gloss over the top. It looks lovely, doesn't it? I think its a fab combo xx
ReplyDelete@Holly I apply this at 7am in the morning and work between a busy office and industrial site where it gets very hot, grubby and sticky ... The foundation really goes the distance ... I don't touch it up at all through the day and if I am going out after work I just re-do my concealer and blush if needed. xx
ReplyDelete@ellamarie84 I would try and get a sample if you can and see if you like it ... Although my niece and sister loved it, my other sister wasn't so keen and it was all down to her skin type not being quite right for it xx
i'm loving this foundation at the moment and think i would agree it's probably not suitable for dryish skin. great post :) x
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I'm pleasantly surprised by this foundation, as well! I have dehydrated, yet oily skin with quite a bit of scarring on my cheeks (like Haley). It feels much more lightweight on my skin than my other foundations, and the coverage is VERY good when applied with a flocked sponge! :) I love that it gives a matte yet radiant finish on my skintype! I've heard some ladies complain that it's TOO matte and hard to blend...and I imagine they have dry skin.
