Ilk said:SK-II is amazing..! I have the spary foundation from them too.. gives that very airbrushed effect.. Totally worth the money..
Try SK-II moisturiser too.. You'll feel alot more comfortable in the winter.. Actually isn't it your summer there now? Or try EVE LOM moisturiser too, they have great light textures.. Clinique isn't that great for skin.. It actually really drys out skin sometimes.. Its a very deceiving company.. the ingrediants are too fake.. they have no antioxidants in anything, But they use a high level of Alcohol in everything they sell, It Strips the skins natural moisture and once you stop using the stuff.. Ones skin is so poor in hydration that one assumes they need the "Clinique" products.. So they go buy more.. etc
Thats how that skincare works.. It is good for young teenage oily skin.. Anyone over 20 shouldn't use that stuff.. If you like it, Use it, Not one makeupartist I know would go near clinique.. You can do much better!
1. Whats your skin type?
2. What are your skin concerns?
3. Whats your makeup routine?
I'll give you a list of whats best for you..
Really?
My skin type is normal. I just get a few hormonal pimples around that time of the month and occasional oiliness around the nose. Lines starting to get a bit deeper now (I'm almost 37).
I'm more concerned about the sun then anything else, that's why I bought the Superdefense. I wear a sunscreen moisturiser religiously every day, big sunnies, a hat when I'm out in the sun for some time.
So, in the morning, I use:
a daily exfoliator in the shower (currently the 7 day scrub - Clinique ),
SK-II serum
Superdefense
Makeup - I'm lucky that I don't need much coverage so only a powder foundation along with the Touche Eclat
At night:
Cetaphil cleansing lotion
Lancome Bifacils
Clinique Claryifying lotion #2 - I have thought that to be too astringent
SK-II Serum
Avon Anew Night cream
I'll be interested to see what you say. While I'm not keen to spend extreme $$$ (would love Creme de la Mer but it is SO expensive here in Australia), I will spend a bit more - lotions and potions are my thing, not shoes or clothes!!
Thanks!
