18 women with varying skin types looking for instant hydration and brightness, balancing of uneven skin tones and a reduction in the the appearance of dark spots. Plus, a foundation that provides a long-lasting glowing and dewy finish.
Clinique is renowned worldwide for its 100 per cent fragrance-free skin care and makeup products – developed under the guidance of Clinique’s leading dermatologists.
The Clinique Even Better Clinical Serum Foundation SPF20 is a skin-perfecting foundation that provides 24-hour wear and is available in an impressive and inclusive 39 shades. Doubling as skin care, this lightweight serum and foundation hybrid is formulated with hydrating hyaluronic acid and congestion-fighting salicylic acid, skin-smoothing vitamin C, plus Clinique’s very own exclusive molecule, UP302, to brighten and visibly reduce dark spots.
First things first, members were immediately impressed with the ease with which the silky serum foundation melted into the skin. Achieving the perfect balance, Trial Team members described the product as adequately covering red scarring and acne, while still allowing skin to breathe and remain fresh, even up to eight hours later.
The addition of good-for-skin ingredients was heavily favoured by all members, but particularly those who struggle with makeup-triggered breakouts. Trial Team members were pleased to reveal that Clinique’s foundation caused no breakouts and visibly improved red patches and uneven skin tone within the first few weeks of use.
Members were pleased with the addition of SPF20 within the formula. And while some felt they needed a minimum of SPF30, they reported that the Even Better Clinical Serum Foundation played nicely when layered on top of an additional sunscreen.
Described as great for leaving the skin plump, hydrated and dewy, members were thrilled with the natural glow from this foundation. For this reason, the resounding feedback received was that members were excited to begin incorporating this product into their routine fulltime and their only regret was that they hadn’t discovered it earlier.

All reviews submitted are the honest, authentic and genuine sentiments of the beautyheaven members participating in this trial.
“I found the foundation to go on well, it covered my red scarring and active congestion/acne really well! and it also has very good staying power and lasts the whole day even after going to the gym after work.” – ashmaree93,read more reviews here…
“I absolutely loved this foundation. Let me start off by saying that I somehow managed to pick the perfect shade online! I have been looking for a new foundation to try and the fact that this is good for your skin is just amazing. The coverage is lovely and one layer was enough for me.” – fatemahe, read more reviews here…
“I can’t believe all of these benefits are in such a cute little bottle. And the foundation itself is not heavy at all on your face. I think this will be my winter skintone and I will wear it daily and be the true glowy goddess this foundation intended me to be!” – , read more reviews here…
I’d love to be colourmatched to receive that seven day sample offer that I have on my phone but the shops at my local Myer have very harsh lighting. I loved it when we used to get colour matched at bh events!
Sounds great! I’ve always liked any Clinique products I’ve tried, so I think I’d like to try this one. I’ve just purchased a new foundation a couple of weeks ago, so don’t need any right now. I wonder if my local Myer has it. I’ll go and have a look next time I’m at the shops.
Clinique are offering free 10 day trial. Offer available from Myers , David Jones and selected pharmacies while stocks last. Unfortunately I probably won’t get there in time.
I like the sound of this foundation, but I’ve found it difficult to get a good colour-match with Clinique in the past. Any brand with only a couple of colour choices always gives me a perfect match, but with multiple options, they never work. Still, I’m curious to try this.
It sounds like a good idea to add skin improving ingredients to foundation, but I would worry how it would work with the serums I’m using in my skincare routine.
I like the sound of this product. Especially being SPF20.
My only things that turn me off buying this product is that it only comes in a 30mL bottle @ $65. I would probably buy it if it was in at least a 50mL bottle.
This would have been a great trial to be on. I had a colour match done at Myer and took home a sample which turned out to be the perfect shade for me. It really is a lovely foundation.
I like the idea and would love to try it, but I do have a lot of foundation to use up first, Im trying to de-clutter and use what I have. Hopefully sometime in the future

Using the original even better foundation at the moment but would love to try this.

Love the bottle 🙂
100% fragrance free – impressive 🙂
Looks too cute! Better seems for dry skin =)
This foundation sounds fantastic.
Some really great reviews here. I get so disappointed with colour matching in store compared to REAL light outside. I must try this one!
Can’t wait to try this! I just purchased online! I hope I picked the correct shade! Wish me luck! The bottle is so cute!
I like the looks of the bottle too!
This sounds so good!
Nice results from the trial team – love a good make up trial.

I don’t wear foundation but it sounds good to have one mixed with serum, save a step in the morning!
Great trial results. I love Clinique as a brand.
This foundation is tempting me so much, everywhere I turn, I see an ad for it.
Lucky ladies! Sounds like a great product

Good to know, Okatko!

You’re game to pick a shade of foundation online, Ness!
Sounds lovely. How amazing that foundation has changed so much over the years and we now expect it to do more then just be a make up product.
Haha I know I know ! I just thought I’d wing it…

I like the sound of this. Clinique products are very good and have always been good. As a teenager it was the only brand of product I would use.
I love the look of the packaging!
