Clinique only recently launched the beyond perfecting foundation and concealer in a liquid form and that was a big hit apart from the colour range for pale people like me. However they are now releasing the beyond perfecting foundation and concealer in a powder form. So this will be a powder foundation instead of the liquid form to give people more choice. I am not a person who goes for powder foundations because I have oily and blemish prone skin in which I think the powder would not cover my blemishes and just make my skin look worse. However I am very intrigued by this and I cannot wait till this launches into stores so I can try it.
Clinique claims this product to be lightweight and will not
clog pores to give a natural, beyond perfected look that should last all day.
This powder foundation and concealer should last when the weather is hot and
should stay put through sweat and humidity. The skin should be able to breathe
through the powder and the colour will stay the same rather than oxides or
change colour. Also this powder is oil free which is great for oily and blemish
prone skin. Clinique also claim this
product to have a moisture locking formula that helps any dry patches on the skin
to look flawless without sticking to those areas.
The applicator that comes with the powder is shaped like a
tear drop and has two sides which gives you a choice on what kind of coverage you
would like. The sponge side is for a light coverage and the velvet/fluffy side
can buff the product into the skin and can give a high coverage. I do like how
this applicator is different from the bog standard sponge you get with products
and I like how this has a pointed tip which is handy to spot conceal areas like
blemishes and can reach the harder to get areas unlike with the flat side of the sponge.
The Clinique 2 in 1 beyond perfecting powder foundation and
concealer comes in 10 shades and costs £27.
This is now out (launched 4th September) online and in store and looks to be a permanent part of the
‘beyond perfecting range’.
