What the gurus are saying

For anyone whose skin gets irritated easily, one take found this was the only foundation at the time that did not aggravate skin. The one thing to keep in mind is that another take found results varied across several Clinique foundations, so people may need some trial and error to find a formula that suits them. Not many gurus have weighed in yet, so there is still not much to go on.

"So, I did end up liking and using a lot of different Clinique foundations, and some of these I had varied success with. What I did like, before there were a lot of other fragrance-free brands, is knowing that Clinique is generally going to be unscented or have no scent. I have a lot of Clinique foundations. Here are four of them, and they're four different shades. You can see there's oil in there, and you can tell it's been sitting for a while. Two or three of these are Ivory 28."

"When I was doing ballet I had to wear a foundation for stage makeup, so not that often, just whenever we had a performance, which was every couple of months or something like that. The only foundation at the time that did not aggravate my skin was a Clinique Foundation, granted I did not try out a ton. I don't even remember the name, but I could get along with that. I had some bad experiences with drugstore foundations at the time."
