I had just started hearing about the BB creams in all of my magazines. I was super excited to finally try one out for the first time. I got a sample of this one from Clinique and thought that maybe my redness reducing foundation from themt might have a run for its money. I couldn't have been more wrong. The consistency was very thick and did not blend well. It seemed to show every imperfection in my skin which I didn't expect. I might give my sample to a friend or family member and see if it could possibly work for them, but I personally wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Very very sad especially from a company as wonderful as Clinique — 2 months, 1 week ago

Disappointing

I initially bought the lightest color, OMG I looked like a pasty ghost, so I returned it for the next darkest shade. It's a good match. However, it's very thick and very hard to apply, it doesn't blend well, so it you use too little and want to apply more, you can't blend it, if you use too much--- ugh! You basically have to rewash your face and start over. As noted by another viewer, it settles in every pore! I was going to try to blend it with some moisturizer and see what happens. Basically at this point, to acheive a good look, I need to apply 1) Primer 2) BB cream mixed with some moisturizer 3) mineral powder to set ... What's the point? Buyer beware. — 1 month, 3 weeks ago

Subpar performance

I am so disappointed with this product. I had been reading about BB creams and really wanted to try one out. The idea of using just one product really appealed to me so I decided to try it out. The color selection is not great at all. They only have a few shades to choose from. I decided to go with a medium shade. The consistency of this is really thick. I know thats how BB creams are supposed to be but this one just seemed tacky like. The coverage was horrible. I've had tinted moisturizers that cover better. I put it on and waited a few minutes for it to set. It never really did. It just kind of sits on your face without soaking in. It left a really unattractive shine. I tried blotting papers but they didn't help. Then I tried to set it with powder and it seemed to look worse. By this time I would have finished my normal face routine, so much for saving time.. I tried it for 3 days. No luck. Just looked like my skin with a shiny residue on it. Then I thought to use it as a primer and the last few days it seems to work much better. I did notice I had a small breakout but I'm not 100% sure it was the BB cream or the Payday bar I had as a snack at work (peanuts make me break out BAD) I suppose I will use it as a primer until I finish it. At least it has SPF 30. Thats the main reason for the 3 stars. I really wished I could have loved it because I have loved a lot of Clinique products but this one is a no-go. I would not recommend to anyone. $42 down the drain. Boo. — 2 months ago
