| Clinique | Even Better Clinical Serum Foundation SPF 25 |
The Even Better Clinical Serum Foundation SPF 25 comes in a uniquely shaped glass bottle topped with a pump dispenser. The packaging sort of reminds me of a very pointy egg. It's quite eye-catching and fun.

Formulation:
Promising a long-lasting wear and a full, satin matte coverage, the Clinique Even Better Clinical Serum Foundation also provides a chemical sunscreen protection of SPF 25. With a creamy, liquid consistency, the foundation blends easily on the skin. It sets pretty quickly to a matte finish but didn't look as smooth and seamless as I would have liked. The formulation definitely clings to dryer areas and there is significant oxidation. "CN 10 Alabaster" looks quite pale initially but once blended onto the skin, it turns more warm-toned. "WN 12 Meringue", on the other hand, is completely unwearable for me. After swatching, the color turned extremely orange, nothing like the promotional material online or even how it appears in the bottle.

Additionally, I don't think this is a true full-coverage foundation. Maybe with some layering, it can provide better coverage but with a regular application, I would say this is a medium-high coverage foundation. Overall, I didn't love the Clinique Even Better Clinical Serum Foundation SPF 25. My biggest issue was with the oxidation but I also felt the finish could have been more blurring and perfecting. I think if you struggle with textures, fine lines, or dryness, the foundation will definitely highlight any imperfections.
