![]() ![]() I will check out some of the Even Better shades that the Sephora site lists as being yellow based and fair to very fair, such as “Honey” “Cream Whip” “Golden Neutral” “Golden” “buff” and “Vanilla”. On the Clinique US site, they list a lot more shades for the Even Better foundation than they do on the UK and AUS sites! But, they don’t tell you what the undertones are, they only tell you the depth and finish of the shade. However, on the American Sephora website they have, for the Even Better foundation, the same number of shades as the Clinique US site, but they also explain which foundations are pink, neutral, or gold toned – which is super helpful. When it arrives I will post a swatch comparison here with my usual Clinique Even Better in “01 Alabaster VF-N” – which is not perfect since I am a colour match for MAC NC25, but the neutral shade can help avoid some sallowness. ![]() Yellow Toned Shades in Even Better foundation:Īfter looking at the Taiwanese Clinique website and then seeing the swatches of Even Better’s shade “63 Fresh Beige” (a shade available in Asia) on this blog here (and to the left) I decided to take a chance and order a tube online from a website similar to eBay. ![]() They have even more shades on their Japanese website but unfortunately on the japanese website they do not say the shade names in english, which makes it harder to search for swatches. ![]() And, although it is not quite as good as trying them in store before buying, you can purchase these other colours from alternate retailers in importers, like on eBay. The good thing about the Taiwanese site is that (unlike other asian Clinique sites) it lists the shade names in English, which means that you can do a swatch search for the yellow toned colours. You can click on the foundation type that you prefer, and see how the shades differ from those they list on the western (UK, USA, AUS) sites. … which got me thinking, “What is this ‘Favourite Shades From Asia’?”. So I did a little investigating. And, as it turns out, Clinique sell different foundation shades in Asia, and many are yellow based!!!! In fact, different shades are even sold between the US, UK and AUS sites! Then I saw this advertisement on the USA Clinique website … I have wondered this for years, especially because Clinique has been the only foundation whose texture/formulation doesn’t look outright weird the way it sits on my skin, but sadly their colours are never quite right! People often say that they love the formula of Clinique’s foundations, but why on earth won’t they make any yellow-based foundations for those of us with golden or MAC “NC” based skin tones?! Do Clinique make yellow based foundation shades? ![]()
