Learn more about Clinique cosmetics
Clinique offers a range of quality cosmetics and fragrances available at most high-end department stores. Clinique began in 1968 as a brand specifically created to be the first hypo-allergenic and dermatologist-driven makeup line. Even today, their department store sales associates and makeup artists wear white lab coats, true to their mission.
Clinique Makeup
Clinique makeup offers a wide range of foundations and compact powders. Their CityBase foundation runs in the $20 range but offers an even and smooth application with no need for powder.
Their eyeshadow line has a variety of shades, especially golden and purple hues. Clinique eyeshadow is long-lasting and easily blended. Clinique eyeliner is well worth the higher price than drugstore brands.
Clinique lipsticks are fragrance-free and allergy-tested. They boast moisturizers, SPF protection and have an especially creamy, soft feeling when applied. They last as long as the average lipstick, but the higher price tag does mean a more luxurious feeling while wearing them. Lipsticks range from the moderate-wear Long Last Soft Shine, to the more intense and fuller coverage High Impact Lip Color, but like most kinds or brands of lip color, they all need to be reapplied after eating and drinking.
Clinique also offers makeup remover for eyes, lashes and lips that is designed to gently remove makeup while offering those delicate areas some extra moisture and protection.
Clinique Skin Care
The dedication to the science of Clinique skin care means that all products are rigorously tested. Clinique is a company that prides itself on providing hypo-allergenic products designed for sensitive skin, so they test all their products numerous times to ensure they will not cause allergic reactions. Clinique has soap with tallow and lye bases, available in mild, extra mild and oily. They also offer a men’s line.
Clinique has designed products targeted at many specific skin concerns, including aging, redness, dullness and stretch marks, and their website is designed to help you meet your particular skin care needs. These products can help improve specific conditions; for example, while no over-the-counter product can succeed in complete stretch mark removal, if used consistently, Clinique’s products can help in reducing how noticeable stretch marks appear.
