Clinique moisture surge tinted moisturizer

This is a request review of Clinque's new tinted moisturizer.
I bought this tinted moisturiser when i went to buy clinique's gentle light foundation and was told it was discountinued. The lady at the counter recommended this as she said the coverage and texture was similar.


I do like this product but the first point to make is that it has a lot of coverage for a tinted moisturizer. As you will see from my before and after photo's my frekkles are hardly visable, I would compare this product to Laura Mercier Tinted moisturiser in terms of coverage or maybe even a little bit more.

The moisturizer is not frangranced and is oil free and a added bonus is that it has an SPF 15. It goes on quite dewy but I found it drys semi matte which is perfect for people looking for a halfway house product but not so good if you want really glowing skin. I found it easy to blend and it lasted on me most of the day it needed touching up after about 5 hours.

I have two niggles with this foundation the first one is that I found it hard to get a colour match as most shades seemed to have pinky undertones so I would deffinatley ask for a test of this one before buying. The second is that it doesn't feel as lightweight on the skin as other tinted moisturizers I have tried which doesn't bother me too much but isn't ideal if you are looking for a more traditional tint.

So all in all I would give this product a 6/10 its a good foundationwith a nice finish but not really a tinted moisturizer in my opinion.

Have you tried this product? Please let me know
