My mom has always been a huge fan of Clinique makeup. She would always participate in bonus days and those were like Christmas to us. She'd bring home makeup samples and we would play around with the different colors and give each other make-overs. When I got older and started wearing makeup, I wore a lot of her hand-me-down samples. At least until I starting having to buy my own makeup. Clinique is definitely not cheap, so I stopped wearing it.
This past weekend, I went home to see my family. My mom and I went to Clinique and got fitted for foundation just for fun. I tried the Stay Matte foundation and I've fallen in love. I have pretty oily skin. I'm always searching for a foundation or base that will keep my skin looking fresh and clean. On top of having oily skin, I'm very light-skinned. Most brands don't even make a foundation in a shade that matches my skin tone. I've been using BB cream or tinted moisturizer just because they are the only cheaper solution to my skin problems. However, Stay Matte keeps my skin looking fresh all day! My nose always starts getting shiny a few hours into the day. I'm a big powder person. I carry it with me and am always reapplying it to cover that darn shine. With this formula, my skin didn't get shiny at all, not even towards the end of the day!
Clinique makes 20 different shades for this formula. I was surprised to find that they make shades lighter than my skin tone too! This is a first for me! I definitely recommend it if you have similar issues with your skin, or even just want to try something new!
