Are you a foundation or a skin care girl? The creative crew at Clinique may very well have taken their cues from the old El Paso girl and decided you really can have both in the new Clinique Even Better Clinical Vitamin Makeup SPF 25. This isn’t just another kinda/sorta/beauty balm and base hybrid. It’s a vitamin-infused, skin-loving, SPF-packed multitasker that promises to make your bare skin look better with every wear.
Vitamins in skin care are a vibe
Clinique has built its reputation on dermatologist-developed skin care, and with this launch, they’ve channelled that expertise directly into their makeup. The Even Better Clinical Vitamin Makeup SPF 25 packs a punch with powerhouse ingredients like vitamin B3 to energise skin, five forms of vitamin C for a brightening boost, and vitamin E to combat environmental stressors. Add in hyaluronic acid for a hit of hydration and acetyl glucosamine to gently exfoliate, and you’ve got a foundation that works just as hard on your skin as your serums do.
More than makeup
This isn’t just skin care in disguise – it’s a foundation that means business. Lightweight, oil-free, and buildable, it blends effortlessly for a natural, radiant finish that stays true for 12 hours. It’s non-caking, non-streaking, and resists settling into fine lines, which is the kind of performance we all need in our lives. Plus, it’s sweat- and humidity-resistant, so whether you’re running from meetings to martinis or sweating it out in a summer heatwave, your glow stays put.
Real results, real fast
According to Clinique’s testing, after just one week of use, 96% of users said their skin looked more vibrant. Give it two weeks, and 87% reported a more radiant bare face – because, yes, this foundation is designed to improve your actual skin over time. Finally, hydration levels get a noticeable boost, too, with clinical results showing significant improvement in just 14 days.
Clinique has also made sure this foundation is for everyone, offering 20 flexible shades that adapt across different skin tones. It’s safe for sensitive skin, non-acnegenic, ophthalmologist-tested, and even friendly for contact lens wearers. Oh, and did we mention it’s free from fragrance, parabens, phthalates, synthetic colours, and a whole list of other potential irritants? It’s clean, conscious, and caring for your skin in more ways than one.
Where to get it
The Even Better Clinical Vitamin Makeup SPF 25 is available at Clinique online, David Jones, Myer, Mecca, Sephora, Adore Beauty, and selected pharmacies in Australia and New Zealand. At $68 AUD ($84 NZD), it sits at a slightly more premium price point, but given that it doubles as skin care, you could argue it’s a two-in-one investment.
