I've always wanted to try make up by Clinique, I use their cleansing products and I've always liked them. This make ups buffs out my "imperfections" and I feel like I still look natural....Great powder foundation...My only complaint is that it does not seem to last as long as other Clinique powder foundations. I also thought it was weird that the stay buff is actually lighter than the stay cream, but Sephora makes exchanges easy if you do not get the color right.

Products related to Buff Foundation

Buffing Makeup
“Great formula, easy to buff out (there is a buff brush on the bottom of the stick so that’s convenient) and the light medium worked as a cooler toned shade for my fair-light skin tone”
Beige Foundation
“I do find it settles into creases a bit more than other foundations but it looks extremely skin-like. But the best part is it lasts really well, and doesn’t transfer nearly as bad as other foundations that I’ve used”
Body Foundation
“I’m super picky with foundations and I honestly really love this. It’s great coverage for a serum foundation and it actually stays on my skin”
Highlighting Foundation
“I wore it through a full day and an evening out, and it held up beautifully without needing any touch-ups. The foundation also plays well with other products—my blush and highlight went on perfectly over it. ”
Cushion Foundation
“Pretty pricey, but a nice splurge if you want a lightweight cushion foundation feel on the skin”
Blur Foundation
“I got the shade Medium 2 and was concerned that it would be too dark, but it ended up being perfect. This Beauty Blur Balm does exactly that, it blurs. At 45, my skin is uneven and this evens it out and creates the most beautiful canvas”
Medium Foundation
“It’s a great medium coverage foundation. I have combo skin and this worked well with my makeup routine”
Cream Powder Foundations
“This is a pretty good foundation as far as powders go; not full coverage but definitely covers redness and unevenness, it is surprisingly hydrating and leaves a nice finish on the skin (kind of glowy, not super matte”
Foundation With Concealer
“The is the most creamy foundation I have tried, is buildable and I’ll say have a natural finish, perfect for those natural makeup days, I have a neutral undertone but for some reason this shade is too yellow for me, but I still can make it work with concealer”
Foundation Sponge
“I used this BB with one of my favorite light coverage foundations, and it got the job done, however, the sponge isn’t big, so it definitely took more time than other sponges, and it’s supposed to be a Bio Pure sponge, but the packaging was all plastic...I hope that was biodegrable too”
