If your foundation/powder has no SPF, apply this one
luckybetty (880 reviews)

Some of my foundation/power products do not have any SPF. Before I use them, I apply Clinique City Block Sheer Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 25. It also helps foundation and power to stay on my face better and longer. SPF 25 is good enough, but of course if you are planning to stay outside longer (beach/mountain), I would recommend sunblock with higher SPF. — 3 years, 11 months ago

Love!

Usually cliniques liquid foundations or tint look like the color of hotdogs to me lol. Like this pink cast is in it. Anyway, I'm nevertheless always snooping around the clinique counter because they always have something new out. I saw this city block and I've heard of it but always thought it was like regular facial sunscreen. O was I wrong. It's a physical sunscreen so it's less likely to break you out. It's tinted and it's not pink or beige! Way to go clinique! I tested it out on my hand and it didn't turn orange. Its oil free but I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin unless you like the Dewey look like me. But it's not overly Dewey like Mac f — 3 months, 2 weeks ago

Love it!

I love the feel and the little bit of tint I get from this. It's great for quickly protecting and evening out my skin tone. — 4 years ago

love but need a lighter shade
drkbutterfly71 (17 reviews)

I love this stuff, but here's the issue.... I am very very pale and this at it's lightest is still a bit too dark. I have used it and I do love the results but I have to work so hard to avoid the "line" I just stopped. PLEASE Clinique come out with a lighter version for us translucent people! — 1 week, 3 days ago

Great color but Greasy!!!
cassie_van (13 reviews)

The only thing i dislike about this product is that it's greasy!!! however, it gives a nice natural coverage for your skin (since it has tint color). So if you have oily skin, dont go with it. Other than that it's a good product. — 1 year ago

Terrible
Taradee6 (3 reviews)

First of all let me say that I love Clinique and really wanted to like this but I absolutely hated it. It is very tinted. It is a weird yellow-ish color. I moisturized before applying this but it settled into lines on my face and got stuck to dry patches making them stand out horribly. It had a thick and sticky texture. When I wiped it off with a towel the towel was yellow. I am so upset that I threw the receipt away and will not be able to return this because I will never touch the stuff again. I can't believe it got so many good reviews. — 1 year, 11 months ago

Good product!
pixie_dust (122 reviews)

Keeps oil at bay and feels nice. It has some color to it, and I am not sure why. It's almost like a tinted moisturizer with more tint than actual moisture. It works well, and I do like the little bit of coverage it offers. If I put too much on, though, it seems masky so I have to watch that. — 2 years, 2 months ago

I love it!
NaomiB (12 reviews)

I have oily skin so I couldn't even wear any kind of makeup without my face getting shiny later. I use this and it's amazing. Great for wearing by itself or as a makeup primer. It helps your makeup go on smoother and stay on longer without getting shiny. I also like having the SPF 25 for my fair/sensitive skin. I will be using this product for a very long time. Definitely recommended. — 2 years, 2 months ago
