The future of foundation

I don’t think there’s a woman in the world that doesn’t want flawless-looking skin – it’s pretty much the main reason why women wear foundation, right?
And if you’re looking for a foundation that not only covers imperfections, but actually helps to reduce them too, then beauties it’s time to get your hands on the new Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus All-Smooth Makeup SPF 15.
What makes this foundation so special you ask? Well besides coming from Clinique – currently the number one prestige foundation brand in the world (so you know it’s already going to be good) – Repairwear Laser Focus All-Smooth Makeup SPF 15 is also formulated with the same advanced technology as used in Clinique’s anti-ageing serum, Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle & UV Damage Corrector.
So just to break it down for you even further beauties, this technology enables the foundation to not only provide flawless coverage throughout the day, but it also simultaneously gets to work on your skin to minimise the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and repair any previous UV damage. A combination of ultra-nourishing ingredients in the formula also helps to strengthen your skin’s moisture barrier, ensuring that your complexion stays hydrated and healthy, leaving you with firmer, more toned-looking skin.
Oh and did we mention that it contains SPF 15 to protect against future sun damage, is allergy tested, dermatologist tested, ophthalmologist tested, oil-free, fragrance-free and non-acnegenic (just to mention a few added benefits!).
But don’t just take our word for it – read our Trial Team’s reviews of Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus All-Smooth Makeup SPF 15…
Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus All-Smooth Makeup SPF 15
“I was concerned about this foundation flaking and not covering my freckles and rosacea, as many I have tried invariably end up doing this. The consultant matched my shade to 01 (lightest) and told me that after foundation application, it's ideal to use a loose powder finish over it (which I didn't)...I have to say that the result was fantastic - I had dewy-looking skin that 'veiled' my freckles and covered up any hint of rosacea completely - I looked like a younger airbrushed Redlox! After a full day's wear, there is never any flaking nor cracking, and it doesn't seem to rub off. Even after several days of use, my skin didn't get greasy (whereby other foundations seemed to have helped transform my face into a pimple farm). When I first started wearing this product it felt like my face was sweating a little but this is likely due to me being unused to wearing liquid foundation. After several days use, I believe there has been at least slight improvement of fine lines around my eyes/forehead area, well, 'Repairwear' - how good is it to have a product that does what it says!” - Redlox

Terrific reviews ladies - this sounds like a winner in all areas.
Any foundation I use needs to cover spider veins around my nose (this is the main thing I want to disguise), and help blend in my freckles so they aren't so noticeable.

I only use foundation if its a special occasion not for everyday wear cos my skin is pretty good anyway.
When i do use foundation i make sure i cover up my red cheeks. At least i never have to spend money on blush.

I like to wear foundation for a flawless look like most beauties but, in particular, I want to even out my skin tone and 'brighten' my complexion on days when I feel and look a bit blah, lol! I like the fact that this foundation has anti-ageing properties and leaves a dewy finish.

I loved this! It has everything one needs in a foundation. I have uneven skin tone and pigmentation, it covered my imperfections well and I'm glad it is good for my complexion as well :)

This foundation sounds great. I need a good coverage foundation for work as I often get hot and my base seems to wear off during the day. I have quite translucent skin and am self-conscious of my rosy cheeks. I've recently bought Laura Mercier's silk creme foundation (based on the good reviews of it I read on the net) and so far it hasn't disappointed. It wasn't cheap, but it goes on smoothly, has great coverage and doesn't sink into pores or emphasise dryness.

The foundation sounds fantastic. Most days I automatically put foundation on without thinking about it (or needing it everyday), it's just habit now. But with the weather warming up I will probably stop wearing it everyday

I have never tried the founddation by clinique, but i have tried their skin care. I like the sound of it being non-acnegenic, as thats the biggest concern I have with foundations. I don't like foundations to break me out.

The reason I use foundation is to even out skin tone and also I want the moisturising effect. I find if my skin is moisturised well it looks so much better. I also want to use a sun screen so if I can get a product that has all the functions I want in one product, it is far more appealing. Clinique produces such quality products.

The main reason I wear a foundation is to have an even skin tone. Also some foundations these days offer some sort of wrinkle coverup also................my imperfection is uneven skin tone,( having kids, aging and sun damage all play a role in causing uneven tone).####Sandra

My main foundations over the last decade has been clinique superfit so very keen to try this new one, - if it can both cover and treat at the same time, it sounds like a dream..
