I also have this in alabaster. I love the way my skin feels after I put it on---very soft and smooth. It's not sheer, but I wouldn't consider it heavy either. Best for days when you want a little more coverage. Great on my combination skin

I generally don't like Clinique foundations so I was hesitant to try this one. Eventually a friend passedd hers onto me so I was able to try it without having to pay for it. Well I'm glad that I did get this for free because I don't like it. This is way too heavy for me, I like to stick to sheer coverage face make-up. It also turned orangey on me after a while.

I used this for years and I still love it, but I have switched to Clinique workout makeup...which is all day wear.

So far, so good the coverage is excellent and Alabaster is a good color match. The blendibility is what appeals most to me. Unlike staytrue which I find has a limited color choice Superbalanced has more choice and its creamier without being greasy.

I drop goes a long way, I just wish it came in a pump dispenser.

This is by far the best foundation I have ever tried.I have it in Alabaster.Other cheap foundations from Covergirl were too watery and made my skin feel oily and did not cover wery well.Superbalanced makeup is semi thick,and if you keep it cold,I think it works better.Some people think it looks like a mask,but I dont think so if you blend it well.It moisturizes in dry areas of your face,and gets rid of oil in the oily areas.I would recomend it for people who need great coverage,and have combination skin.It is a bit expenisve,though,about 20 dollars,but I have had the same bottle for a year and still havent run out.With Covergirl,my foundation only lasted about 3 or 4 months.

I was the shade Petal. I found this blended on well, but the finish was a bit chalky, and the colour turned orangey.

I really like this foundation in Cream Chamois. It goes on nicely and leaves my skin looking smooth and dewy. I don't find it too heavy at all.

This is an "okay" foundation that I may buy again, but I've found others I prefer, so maybe not. I used the color "Petal" which was a pretty good match for my skin, and the foundation provided medium coverage. It didn't cause any breakouts or other problems.

This is two heavy and mask like. You might as well have a neon light on your head saying "i am wearing foundation" But i have to admit it is great for the really crap skin days! The packaging is really irritating as it is in a bottle and takes ages to come out. And when it does there is too much. I have switched to becca foundation and that is sooooo much better!

I (like another reviewer) wore this forever until I realized that it turns orange on me! Also, I found the coverage to be too heavy for my taste. It definately looks like you are wearing makeup with this on.

I got a great shade match in this one & the medium coverage was excellent for me.(buildable coverage) Application was nice & the finish is a natural skin look. This did well on my combo. skin with a little of Clinique's stay matte powder. I'd say I will purchase this again sometime.

I really like the colour match i found with this foundation. I have a very yellow undertone to my skin and it matched perfectley. But it's so heavy and mask like. I can feel it on my skin. I'm currently loking for a lighter foundation to replace it.

The palest shade is a perfect match for my skin. I like everything about this foundation and would recommend it to anyone. To avoid looking like you're wearing a mask, cleanse and thouroughly mositurize your face, wait about 15 minutes for the moisturizer to absorb, and then apply and blend foundation with _quick_ strokes. The end result should look like flawless skin, not like a flaky mask.

This is the only foundation that i use and it has medium coverage. I like that it is geared towards combination skin, which my skin sees in the winter. it goes on nicely and a little goes a long way. I wear this only in the winter as it can be a little heavy for the summer and spring.

I have used the Cream Chamois {04} shade since high school. I love the amount of coverage this foundation offers, and it really does appear to balance the oily and dry areas if you have combination skin. Whenever I want to conceal imperfections I combine this with Aveda's Dual Base Minus Oil or Clinique Blended Face Powder.

The only time I won't use this is the dead of winter when my skin is super pale, but luckily I live in FL. :)

Goes on smooth, but seems to just sit on my face for the whole day. Heavy coverage and certainly looks like you are wearing make up. The color Sunny, is too peachy-pink for any human skin.

As is my problem with most Clinique foundations I love the formula (I know lots of people hate Clinique, but I DON'T!) but the colors are awful on me. I wore this forever until I realized how orange it turned on me. What a shame.

I'm still in search of the perfect blush so until then, this will do. This is by far Clinique's best foundation. It's not oily nor does it dry your skin out. Blends easily and the colors are great to choose from. The coverage it gave me was perfect! Not too thin or thick.
