I'm too pale for this!!??
I purchased this over the summer when I was a touch more tan than I am now, and even at that point, I had to get shade 01 for my ghostly skin. Now, in the winter, when my face hasn't seen the sun for a few good months, even shade 01 is too dark for me. I had to switch to a different product entirely! Wish they carried this in a couple of lighter shades for paleys like me, because while I was using it, I liked it a lot. It has really nice coverage for a tinted moisturizer, while at the same time not feeling like you're wearing too terribly much makeup. Plus, it works really well with my finicky face---didn't cause me to break out or anything, which is a huge concern of mine when it comes to moisturizers, foundations, etc. Great product, but sadly, a bit limited.
Great Coverage
The texture of the moisturiser is lovely and not greasy at all. The coverage is great for a tinted moisturiser and the finish is matte which is perfect for oilier skins. This shade is slightly darker than I would usually wear making it wonderful for tanned summer skin - I mix it with a lighter shade of foundation in the winter or with my everyday facial moisturiser. Win.
Nice light coverage that gives me a dewy finish!
I'm a huge fan of tinted moisturizers and this one by Clinique delivers exactly what I need and want. For my daily routine, I never like a heavy coverage since a caked on face for me in sunlight is no bueno. This tinted moisturizer goes on very smooth (reminds me of Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer) and leaves a nice dewy finish. For any extra coverage on blemishes or dark circles, I use a concealer to cover them up. The packaging is small which fits quite nicely in my makeup bag when I'm on the go.
