I don’t have particularly dry skin by nature, but I do have combination skin and I do live in the desert where the humidity is regular <5%. When I moved to super-dry Phoenix from soggy Houston, everything changed: my hair texture, my skin – everything. I switched my blotting papers for serum and tried Clinique‘s Supermoisture Makeup foundation for an extra dose of dewiness.
I have to say this foundation definitely lived up to its name. Due to my recent experience with unusually opaque tinted moisturizers, I was prepared for a super-greasy mask-like experience, but Clinique proved me wrong and delivered a full-coverage foundation doesn’t have to feel goopy or make you look like a geisha!
Supermoisture Makeup foundation is creamy in a good way and very enjoyable to use – blendable with a natural texture that gives me a dewy, youthful finish. The coverage is full, but in a beautiful and flawless way; nothing mask-like about it! Plus, there are 17 different shades, a refreshing change from the “one color fits all” attitude of tinted moisturizers. Still, I might steer clear if you have an oil problem, because it’s hydrating to the max.
The verdict: 10/10 – Winner winner gets a tenner! While it’s not perfect for every skin type, ladies with thirsty, dry skin will adopt this product for life.
Clinique Supermoisture MakeUp, now named Clinique Moisture Surge Hydrator, sells at Amazon for $32.50.
