I love this foundation but it just doesn't have enough lasting power for me. It makes my skin glow and looks amazing but it doesn't last the day for me so I stopped using it. Such a pity.

I'm LIVID that this was discontinued. This is just about the only foundation I've used that I would classify as HG status! Gentle Light is the most amazing foundation I have ever used! It has a...

I really like this foundation and was annoyed when it got discontinued last year but relieved when they brought it back. It must be good because there was a huge demand for Clinique to bring it...

This seemed to soften the imperfections on my face and gave a little glow, but it also clogged my pores and slid off my skin at the end of the day. Better for those with dry skin.
